DeLorean Race Oct 21, 2015 - Highlight Video Added

Harsk is to the DeLorean, as 'Mad Dog' Tannen is to Clara Clayton.

Hello, Hello Harsk;

 

[JockeP22]

Not putting wing isn't fair for me.

 

[copes24]

Did a free run on Deep Forest. My best was 1:19.3 but it still needs more tuning. I haven't tried Daytona yet.

 

[Team Ape]

What will the tire wear settings be?

Also... Driving Aids? I'm just using ABS 1 during my practice.

 

[JockeP22]

Real.

Me too. Everything but ABS and driving line is set to prohibited.

 

[FergusMik]

I managed some low 1:57s at Daytona and low 1:21s at Deep Forest. Should be close enough, things will be different with other cars on the track, especially Smiley.

Those were online times btw.

So far round Deep Forest (online with tire wear) I've managed:

1:22.1 - Dome Zero
This little beast can be quite a handful, but loads of fun and feels faster than the DMC. Not sure if this is the car for me... Spent ages tuning, not sure how much more handling improvements can be made.

1:21.3 - Delorean DMC-12g
Painted Gold to match the silly ott gold plated limited edition they made. Much easier to handle than the Dome which for a RR car is a feat of engineering. Easy to throw around but I'm still running the stock spring rate which is maybe too soft.

Lots of work to do on my tunes - not basing them on any other tune (mine or others), so all fresh for these races! BTW I'm not a tuning wizard... one day though 💡

Nice. Which tyre wear setting were you using?

 

[Team Ape]

Nice. Which tyre wear setting were you using?

At first I used "Fast", then switched to "Normal"

 

[JockeP22]

I'm so impressed by how much you are practicing, guys. 👍
Don't burn up all your Credits though, you might need them down the line lol.
But it's true, practice makes perfect.


Maybe we should decide on a date and time soon, something that works for Mik in Canada and us over here in Europe and also gamer
in Tokyo.
Hmm.. that's just about across the entire planet Earth.

Well I'm done tuning my Dome. I will be off work for two weeks for Christmas so the time is not a problem for me.

 

[SmileyWRX]

Is there going to be any race - for fun....maybe...maybe...today....maybe mr. Jocke ?

 

[SmileyWRX]

I will be using the Dome

 

[copes24]

I could race today :-) Also in the Dome

@FergusMik Will you host Mini races on Wednesday January 7th? Maybe we could do this Dome/DeLorean event 1½ hours before you open up the Mini room.
Would that work for you?

Is there going to be any race - for fun..maybe..today

Good idea Smiley 👍

I can go online at ~9-10pm GMT. How about you?

I will be online then. Will it be in the club lobby?

 

[SmileyWRX]

I am in game already. Yes should be online after 7pm gmt.
Some fun maybe on four wheels

 

[JockeP22]

Yes, and it's open now

If you want to run this anytime between now and then is fine, throw out some dates? I'm not sure about Jan 7th, I may not be home in time. I'm busy Dec 24th/25, 28th and 31st.

 

[JockeP22]

I'm busy Dec 24th/25, 28th and 31st.

I'm away between December 23-27 but other than that I should be able to make almost any day.
@gkgamer you can have a say too since you are so far ahead in the time zones.


Smiley, copes and I had a few test races yesterday.
Really fun. I was nowhere near their pace at Deep Forest but I had their number at Monaco at least.
Nordschleife was great, guys.

How cool are these helmets and suits?
I'd like to use them for my driver.

Here's what happened to me before while testing solo at the Nordschleife;

 

[copes24]

Good photos

So maybe the 29th or 30th Dec? That would be good for me.

30th is good anytime after 2pm Eastern time.

 

[buybon355]

I'll have a crack at the dome, managed a 1:19.7 at deep forest in it, bit of a handful but great fun

 

[copes24]

Great! The grid is filling up nicely.

The Dome is a lot of fun but I'm struggling to be consistent with it. I think there will be lots of overtaking in the race

 

[Obelisk]

Hey Jocke, can you update the driver list in the OP?

30th works for me too, so let's decide on this day and I can look over a fitting GMT time that works

can you update the driver list in the OP?

Sure I'll try.

 

[RMan72]

I'd be up for this, bit of a step up from Mini racing but should be fun.

Yeah, I know that feeling, was mostly in the 20/21 mark, well, when not in the scenery lol.

Dome seems to be slightly quicker but is more prone to wanting to visit the crowds

 

[buybon355]

Who says racing drivers are not accessible lol
