Maxi since you seem to be the the pacesetter could you tell me how many laps your getting on the medium tire , have you tested soft yet ?

Got my internet connection so Im online in the ICGTC lounge testing for the next hour , also on teamspeak as well.

Logging out now , I managed a 1 55.2 but my race pace is looking about 1 second slower than that

I will be on later today, I don't get how you guys can practice so early. Your hot lap isn't bad if it was set with the ballast. I managed a better time, but I'm free for ballast now.

I had a tuning where I could easily go down into 54's, but my total race pace slowed down to much in the end of each stint. Car felt really slippery when tyres worn down a bit. So I guess I be sacrificing my hot lap to gain in the last part of each stint.

I actually read a few tuning tips from the real world that seemed to work, STCC guys use stiffer rear anti roll bar to keep the cars from understeer when the tyres are worn and it seemed to work. Worked a bit to good so my car got some nice drifting abilities, but after a bit more tuning to the car it seems to handle very good all the way through the stint.
 
I've run into a problem with the video, my editing software won't recognise the raw video format so I'm having to re-encode it before I can edit it all together. I don't understand why it won't recognise it though, it recognised the last one just fine. :/

I'll get it up by the weekend at the latest.
 
I won't be on again til late tonight probably 10 30 11 pm gmt , same thing for tomorrow as well .

Can't wait for Saturday .
 
I'm just about to leave to go play some snooker in last minute practise for the tournament this weekend. I have almost run out of internet on my phone so I can't keep up with the thread until sunday evening. Have fun guys and see you next week :D
 
anyone online now for some practice?

I doubt i am pacesetter. But i go around 8 laps. But i have still some tuning to do. I am fast over one lap but my stints must become better.

I don't use softs, i drive whit them at the last houres of practise to figure out what strategy i would use. Even on Spa i didn't practise on them at all, i forgot. I just took a gamble in race to use them.

And 55.1 is a great lap i think. Specially whit ballast. or did you do that in offline-mode?

Could be... Last time around here we had the old tyre model and the best time on soft was a very impressive 1:49, most ended up on 1:51-1:53 during qualify. So if you beat that with 5 seconds. Please let me know your secret

1:54.6 should be it...I am not Immortal!
 
I'm up for some group practice should be home all day , someone post or send me a gtp pm when they are going online please .

When JoeTruck said Bye Week does this mean he isn't racing ?

I think that's what he means .
 
I think it have something to do with the collage basket that is going on "over there" But I got a message on PSN also that he couldn't race if it wasn't raining.

I'm sorry but messages that isn't explaining anything I don't care much about, if you can't race, don't sign up.

That's understandable.
 
In the icgtc lounge and on teamspeak

Everyone lining up on the grid

ibs8EBuoTiC3Cz.jpg

The first corner here really does look epic with 15 cars

ikUfQ7gUUroD1.jpg

The exit of La Source, Netherdragon goes wide and I take 3rd whilst Falcon takes 4th

iklixJOoCCUfl.jpg

Everyone's first trip through Eau Rouge, from the perspective of Troylee, it looks incredible from the back

ii3fzUShlMInv.jpg

The end of the Kemmel straight, lap 1, when I slide myself between Immortal and Skendigi

ibwt3PXsYuOVHd.jpg

The bus stop chicane, lap 1, I get my wheel on the grass during braking and catapult across the chicane, thankfully missing the wall

i9StqLSORk5jQ.jpg

Falcon gets caught on the gravel coming out of the last corner before the back straight and plants it into the wall

ibneBcUf15G5cY.jpg

Netherdragon stays out a lap too long on his soft tyres and goes off at the end of the lap, ultimately ruining his tyres completely

ib0k9oQWGwVMFJ.jpg

Me and Falcon going through Eau Rouge as I begin making my charge to second place at the end of my second stint. This is definitely my favourite shot of the race.

ivvKfSnZZFOta.jpg

I can't remember who these two are, but it's a nice shot regardless

ibyFjIdGbsKmlS.jpg

I have a very hair moment coming out of turn 6, somehow I manage to save this without touching the edges of the track. I was just completely in the zone at this point.

I'm going to hop onto the replay and take a couple more shots from Spa's race, sorry for the bias towards myself this week, I wasn't very aware of how anyone else's race went.
 
thanks for the picture Arkano, great pictures as always! definitely got some mad talent !

i'm in the lounge now for a little practice
 
i0qdAax6ntJdJ.jpg

After coming out of the pits for my final stint I get caught up with Maxi and ProPersian for a little bit, Persian dives me and I get pushed wide and leave them both behind

ioF0ErwlR6CqM.jpg

Catching Skendigi by roughly half a second a lap at this stage of the race

ibqnXOSswsgITk.jpg

I took Skendigi at the end of the Kemmel, very satisfying after pushing for so long

ioASr8NWRlMRM.jpg

Netherdragon gets out of the way by inches as we both lap him going into the penultimate lap

iG5qZSg2S4YOl.jpg

This is what .257 seconds looks like.

If anyone is interested, here is the folder, you can download these pictures if you want. I'll make an effort to do this for every race for the rest of the season now.

I'm hopping on for some practise now too.

Nice pictures Arkano. And I agree 15 cars into the first corner was epic ;)

This hotel has WI-fi! Shame I left my ps3 at home. Immortal adding us on facebook? Great idea!
 
RACEDAY !!!

Looks like RedBull have lost their advantage in F1

Ill be online early as usual see you all this afternoon/evening , good luck to everyone in the race tonight.
 
Not sure if I'll be on before 3pm GMT-ish. I'm supposed to be going out in a few hours but with this weather I'm not sure right now. Hopefully I'll be on though, I seem to have a good set-up already for this race, I'd love to have the time to fine-tune it today.
 
54 7 is my best but my race pace is more in the 55 9 - 56 2 bracket
 
I'm fine tuning if anyone wants to join...
