GTP Le Mans Prototype Series : Season 4 Complete

[amf7]

Nurb is a good testing track... Plus i'm quick their after a few laps of practice

Whos watching Jonothan Ross??

LoL joke hides from the Scary MOD

Indy is good. I remember it was BK's chosen test ground for season 4

 

[amf7]

INDY IS SHIZ UTTER TRASH...

Nurb is great track. Corners that suit these cars

Indy is good. I remember it was BK's chosen test ground for season 4

I also thought about that but its lacking any proper high speed corners (Not counting the last turn ).

 

[tissimo]

My 787 setup isn't that fast, but is good on long runs.

I'll say it again, fighting over tenths is stupid and just causing a bunch of drama.

Test tracks should be Suzuka or nurb along with leguna or grand valley

I prefer Suzuka and Leguna my self

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

Suzuka's high-speed third sector is good enough to test for the long straights at La Sarthe and Indy, indeed.

 

[bombe32]

Remove the extra downforcce on the Audi. It's killing all competition in narrow sectors. I was spot on in my race-analysis earlier, exactly 1 second is the Audi faster in sector 2 at Spa. Damn an advantage.

EDIT: To use some stats:

The spoiler that can be bought adds 20 extra downforce on the rear. 20 extra downforce = 6 PP!!!
--

EDIT: Removing the 20 extra downforce actually didn't make any big difference... going to play with ballast now.

 

[jakegirard]

Bombe just nailed it! We'll try that.

Also I'm flattered mike. I'd be happy to do that test with bombe. Maybe tomorrow. We could do 30 min at Indy, and 30 min at suzuka/ nurb gp.

Edit: paginas I'm sorry about hitting you off before, total stupid driving on my part. Won't happen in season.

 

[Aqua F1]

Still don't think Suzuka should be used. Incredibly difficult to get a very good lap in compared to Nurburgring.

 

[bermudakid]

i havent said what i was driving, i need more time is tiss' bmw set up


im thinking a max hp and then max pp setting will work well,
limiting some cars to a certain pp # while having a set hp limit

 

[amf7]

I personally don't find it fair that two guys only doing the testing??

Its clear Jake hates the audi anyway.

 

[jakegirard]

I love the Audi. It drives amazingly. But for our series I want it to perform reasonably.

 

[amf7]

Yes but I mean that you can hardly give a fair representation as it is your competitors car etc.

 

[bombe32]

Audies are great in general.

I didn't say anyone was certain in any car, BK, just trying to show how popular the cars were.

Round 1 testing @ Spa
787B:
Audi R8
GT-ONE:
Bentley:

I'll use the 787B as a reference.

 

[jakegirard]

I'm really not being biased amf. You yourself admitted the Audi was far better than the speed 8 lol. In the Audi I could keep up somewhat with tom. He's faster than me no doubt, but the r8 was the only car I could get close to him in.

 

[amf7]

spa is the GT 1 track..

but the audi suits my driving.. It shouldn't as I like oversteer but it works well for me. thats why i prefer it

Which is why we're not going to test at Spa, lol.

Lol you're proving my point.

 

[bombe32]

I start out with Spa, relax... then I want to see how the difference is at home afterwards (Nurb).

 

[amf7]

I will be testing all cars on NURB tomorrow throughout the day.
It would be nice to see as many of you their as possible.

Golfer you could make a spreadsheet as you love doing them..

It's kind of pointless considering half your posts have been off-topic.

Anyone gonna volunteer for the Pesky next season?

 

[amf7]

Nothing I say is pointless... I'm just passing on my wisdom to.you Hommes

 

[GT5_X2010]

Indy is good. I remember it was BK's chosen test ground for season 4

no. I am about a further 3 seconds off the pace at Indy.

Problem with getting select drivers to test out the cars is that different drivers prefer different car characteristics. I prefer oversteer but near to neutral. Others like understeer etc. Throws off lap times and test data

 

[amf7]

Do some spreadsheets for.tommorow golfer..you can do all the admin and stuff LOL

Oh and if you do em. Get an average time over a ten lap run

 

[bombe32]

Spa

Fastest lap

R8 Oreca
787B +0.047

Avg time (3 laps)

R8 Oreca
787B +0.324

Surprised about the outcome. I found an improvement in sector 2 and they became almost even, although the R8's handling is still classes above the Mazda's. Shocked atm.

 

[Aqua F1]

Did you check top speed after Kemmel straight?
