That's very decent of you. Thanks Bruce Lee. I've been off to a slow start this round.... have been getting to know my new rig and making a few improvements. ....
View attachment 947802this is a small addition, but took hours to make and improves the wheel rigidity massively..

This is a test jig for the pedal potentiometers that will eventually drive the motion rig......
View attachment 947805
This is a fly-screen to stop the bitey things getting at me while I work ..(I am aware how much it looks like a brothel entrance)...

Oh, and this is the beginnings of the device that reads the on screen "g force" meter to control the lateral motion of the seat....

So I might not be too active in this round, but I wanted you all to know my excuses....
:bowdown:

PS, I had a massive crush on Leeloo the first time I saw the 5th element.
So @smoothbore12 get the Leeloo gifs coming.
 
....I see heavy modifications on your ring....

I started by loading an old (6 years) replay/ghost that was a WRC car on a more slippery track. I don't know if I should have, because lap 11 was quicker than that, and after that my driving went...
shopping?

Walk a Few Feet In Another Man's Shoes
1:55.484, 2:00.919
I drove the huge car first, and thought that the tiny car would be much better. But despite it being an opposite, it was quite bad, too.

It's kinda weird, but I won't be buying GT sport, or GT7, for at least 10 years, because I have grown to love multiscreen and I can't afford the hardware. Either sony or PD find a way of packaging the ability to drive multiscreen at a reasonable price.... or I will go to PC. I'm not buying VR, and I'm not alone in that respect in the race sim community.

Good morning guys .
A 5 hours trip left and then am free do whatever ......... Maria and my daughter allow me to do :lol: :lol:

I did some serious thinking today and I really think I'll have to break up with my girlfriend by the time GT7 comes out. I don't want to fight over that. I'll buy GT7, MotoGP 21 and PES 21 and after 1-2 year than I'll be ready to settle I think :P

Noel I can try it only on Sunday. It would be really brave or me since Le Mans is my slowest track of them all and am ashamed to admit it's the only track that I don't know the corners. But if come home before 7 pm Sunday, I'll drive it even if I finish dead last :)
I does not matter if you finish dead last as you will win the school as non of these so called race driver have the guts to try. You know what the sad part is I am 74 years old and still on the track teaching racing until I am 80....LOL! My wife wants to get out now but still having way too much fun:lol:.
 
The Focus setup I used for the School:
Surprisingly the six speed transmission fits well to this Le Mans race, considering you don't want to go too close to the actual supercars. Car's stable braking from high speed, I probably adapted this from a GTP post.
495 bhp with changed oil, 1198 kg.
Added parts: six speed transmission, triple-plate clutch kit, sports computer, racing exhaust, isometric exhaust manifold, catalytic conv.: sports, intake tuning, high rpm range turbo kit.
Engine tuning stage 3.
Suspension
* 60/80
* 11.1/14.87
* 6/7
* 6/7
* 4/4
* 0/0
* 0/0
Brake balance 4/6.
That is it.

The problem on that race witch was common on every line up ( at least to what i try including FXX ) i try was that no car alone can get away in front and in every straight after you go ahead they are chasing you both like hell .
Trying to block them is not a wise option since they will make you sausage in a sandwich , the best option is to give them room and try to pass them at the very end of the race .
Quite opposite my set up on the Ford which is oversteering and that help me to close the line by lifting up the throttle only .
 
:scared:

I suspected I'd have to cancel the whole thing, since I didn't draw an FXX. You'll see...
When i realize the two cars chasing problem i was trying to search for an FXX on the field hoping that he will pull away and give me room to deal with her only.
Was with a McLaren in front and changing the lead between them in every straight with the McLaren having the upper hand !!!!!
Didn't took it slow anyway at first lap to see if something different occurs but nevertheless is quite dangerous to fly almost at 300 khm surrounded from two supercars that are trying to make you a beef in a burger .
Anyway personally i couldn't avoid a " kiss" with an Aston Martin but that was 100% my fault entering fast at her back in order to prevent the upcoming Lambo to " kiss" my a.s.s.
What i enjoy the most was the behaviour of the Ford which proved very safe for my type of driving as pad user.


I miss @slybynight ,is still working on ring update ?
He could give us a sign at least , even like this

Hey, I'm still here!!! I am laying in internet to the sim room tomorrow, weather permitting. This will enable me to enter more events (don't ask, its complicated). I really want to enter skaegsracing, but it will prob be next round. I have been spending my time building a stable of "favorites" that consists of cars that can tolerate my stick-shifter with a fully customisable box. (considerably smaller than you might think). I'm still very much here.... but busy getting comfy.... rig (ring?) progress is stalled until I can source a good seat....and some wiper motors.... and a welder...and some PSUs......

@bjl23 consulted by a therapist in order to attack at no tune challenge , we don't know what exactly happened during his visit but we save a moment taking the risk to blame us for spying.

Last ,all members of the hub are ready to give their applaud to @RMan72 for his ( unknown number) consecutive win .
Rumors reveal that some of them can't hide their feelings about that even if they try hard to do so.
