Sim Racers 4 Life welcomes you to Season 3 of our Historic's League. This season we move up to the Historic F1's in what promises to be an action pack event. There's no way around it, it's a hard mod and with that comes massive challenges. One of them Finishing and being consistent will be the key to a good season. We see the return of the reverse grid race with this series and now with only two racers per round it add a lot more pressure on staying clean in those opening laps. Expect big thrill, big spills and lots of emotion to come out of this series.
SR4L wishes you good luck for the season.

Extra spots are on the left of the pitlane. So be careful when pitting and keep in mind that a driver may brake and pull left instead of right when he reaches his pitbox.

This past weekend I worked on two setups which seemed to reach equal laptimes.
One was quite stable but on the same time it brought front tires to hot temperatures (above 90ยบ) and a big tendency to front lockups atfer a few laps if pushing too hard (which made the temp problem worse)
The other one had no front tire temp problem and had no tendency to lock up front tires, but it was quite twitchy to drive and mistakes were easier to be made...
I need to find the middle point.

Very limited track time so far. It's just something with the track, it's not very entertaining to drive around by yourself hehe. Not my type of track tbh. Totally different place compared to Nords... short and totally flat  I have not found a hdr profile for the track... it's very dark and depressing.
So far, my best time is 1.52,5. Not as fast as djc and marcel... Perhaps this track suits their driving technique and setups better I'm still experimenting with the setups and so far I have 5-6 different for this track. Need to decide which one to go for soon becuause this is not preferrable... At Nords, I was driving with the same setup in 1,5 week and got really used to it. Never had such a wonderful car But the setup doesn't work very good with snetterton...
I don't feel like I'll have a chance to win any race if I'm not very lucky, but I will enjoy the action in our last race for 2013

For those reading teh shoutbox and wondering ???
Dj made a patch to add 13 to the 13 already available pitspots. Like we did at Nords. And some more..
It's not working right atm so server runs ''old'' mod but I'll try and fix that tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted.

Yesterday I did some longruns to gather telemetry (fuel calculation, tire wear, tire temperature between front/rear....)
In this track there's something I haven't feel so obviously in other tracks and is a big difference in tire performance as laps go by.
After 3 to 4 laps I can really feel tires losing grip, having to break earlier (for example, in turn 1 instead of braking right at the 150m signal I feel I have to start braking a little earlier if I want to get with the car under control to the apex) and also I feel I have to be a lot more carefull with the throttle. This means for laptimes to quickly drop 1.5sec, and remain in that gap for the remaining laps.
Also after 5-6 laps right front tire starts to lockup at heavier brakings.

Yes, I noticed the same thing yesterday. Tire wear is not much worse than Essington for example, but somehow it's more noticeable here...

Thanks, your're welcome. Happy it worked. Hope it's all fine on the night.
A bit of a side-affect in making the objects in garage uncollidable, the whole garage is now erm, uncollidable :o. I did not mean that, but should pose no problem .

No, only the stone building doesn't detect collision.

Hope I can get through this race without my net going off. I think it could be my broadband modem that is problem, so for this race I got a 12inch case fan blowing cold air into it. Lets see if it works lol .
Good luck all.

Was in all practice session. I got out to change settings for Q and Race, and I can't get in anymore. Got 5 Server connection failures...

It is always very risky to go out during race day.
I always have a fair connection, but when I go out it takes me ages and many tries to get back in, so I avoid getting out at all costs.
