Hunt v Lauda at 70s Silverstone

Who would you like to be , the fun loving playboy or the ultra professional driver ?

Now is your chance to find out in a fun race using their cars on a circuit those drivers battled on ,

Both cars have different handling and power characteristics and are very entertaining to drive , the Mclaren tends towards understeer whilst the Ferrari leans more towards oversteer , the Ferrari has more power , the Mclaren seems to have more torque but both cars are very very quick .

Hunt Smile

So been on the track. To me there seem to either racing gods or probably aliens been putting in 1:15 lap time

I seem to be stuck at 1:18 Sad Any suggestions re setup?

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - lamer of fortune - 21-12-2020

I wonder what the trick is to not get into a spin when downshifting. 5th to 4th works, 4th to 3rd -> Spin

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - Mauro - 21-12-2020

Maybe autoblip is off in this mod?
(In case it could be great)

A little touch of trottle on down-shift like real historic cars

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - deecee52 - 21-12-2020

Yes autoblip is off in the mod itself , when changing down to lower gears do the change at a lower speed so that rear axle doesnt lock or as Mauro says blip the throttle

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - Petrolhead - 21-12-2020

I notice you can't change cars, you have to exit and then rejoin

Yes thats normal

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - deecee52 - 22-12-2020

Here are some setup vagaries I have learned about these cars which i hope help you with your setups

Ignore tyre temp spread as the numbers are inaccurate, if you try to achieve an even spread you loose grip , go above 105Kpa and the grip goes away , there is no real noticeable increase in wear running low pressures .

Because of the problem with autoblip , A simple way to stop the back stepping out on the downchange 4 >3 is to increase no3 ratio so the back axle doesnt lock

Both the cars do not like being set low , the chassis grounds out and stops the suspension working .

You need downforce , too little wing is great for the striaghts but penalises your corner speeds and traction out of them

thank you for all the research

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - lamer of fortune - 23-12-2020

Hi thanks for all the input. I also figured that i had to wait a bit longer until i could downshift and preferably still while going straight. after getting used to this it drives great.
I kkep a few mm above the minimum settings and ahve a F1 R9 Wing which feels odd but drives great. Got close to a 15.0 with that but it does not show up in live timing yet Sad
The driving is a lot of fun.
I still remember the TV broaddcasts from that era, we would not miss one as kids.

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - deecee52 - 23-12-2020

Yes the racing was more exciting then not as clinical as todays racing, its just a pity the cars were not as safe as now , we lost some good drivers

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - lamer of fortune - 26-12-2020

are we sure about this rce to be on the 27th as it is a Monday?
just checking because it deviates from the usual Sunday race pattern

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - gorgias1976 - 26-12-2020

2020 hasn't been the best of years, but no need to move that quickly to Dec 2021, yes tomorrow it's the 27th and Sunday :p

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - lamer of fortune - 26-12-2020

ah thanks man, hiding out at home now for weeks and got confused with the days Smile

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - deecee52 - 27-12-2020

Some good racing tonight , these cars are a lot of fun , get the setup right and you can make them flow where you want .
Tonights result Lauda 1 - Hunt 1 , i think we need another race , what 70s track would you prefer

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - Ricknau - 29-12-2020

Had fun racing with you guys on Sunday. For some reason I was logged in as Your Nickname. I'll figure that one out later. I practiced a lot before the race. Practicing off line I finally got myself down to 1:16. But I got so involved in shaving off the tenths that I missed the start of the first race! Doh!

Had fun with Tobias. We were quite even in speed with him 1-2 secs ahead of me until he had an off about half way through. I then followed Cookie at about 3-4 secs but could never close on him. On the next to last lap, with about a 10 sec lead on Tobias, I went bouncing over the the log bumps in the last chicane and managed to get my car perched on top of a hay bale with all 4 wheels of the ground. Race over. Still, a lot of fun.

I saw "Your Nickname" and thought of some funny new driver joining

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - deecee52 - 29-12-2020

It was great to see you back with us Rick , practice track is up for the next event

RE: Fun Event - Lauda vs Hunt - Round 1 - Silverstone 1975 - Ricknau - 03-01-2021
