Yeah I was using the Bathurst base Robert, I saw you had a lot of understeer. I increased suspension travel to 60 all round, dropped the front springs by 1 and front arb to 6 which gave more front end grip. Then reducing wing to 2 gave great balance in the mid to high speed stuff.... 1 rr wing was doable but too nervous for me as tyre wear kicks in.
With this setup it's very sensitive to tyre temps so have good play with that - tonight I was 16 fr and 17 rear.
rear toe. This car is all new to me.
is an instability game, on or off throttle oversteer can catch “this” driver out.
@Medilloni , that very kind of you, you have already given some pointers above.
they always end up demanding a skill from me which i am unable to provide.
temps to end up with 26psi when crossing start/ finish line.
as they both helped me too, it was much appreciated.
A 'meh' performance from me but it was a good and enjoyable race. It was my first time racing GT3s since the RDGTC S6 a long time ago so I was a bit out of my confort zone, and I struggled to come with a good strategy. I qualified 4th but was easily outraced, with the hard tyres I chose to start with, but hards where lasting forever and I pitted a bit too late to benefit from the softs tyres. Well, it happens.
But I got blocked by a backmarker with a SSG, who ignored a blue flag for the first 4 corners and then makes me crash while I overtake him. And all without an apology, not even a word. It's been a bad showing from me afterwards, as I was not focused anymore.
That is not nice to hear and there is certainly no room for that standard of driving at RD ..I personally do not mind love taps or even if you are 3 laps behind, but I do mind if you do not respond to a blue flag. Being slow is fine, we have all been there, but ignoring a blue flag is not fine.
First things first ..you need a replay with just the incident, so record your replay by any means (even by using your phone) then ask the other driver for his opinion ...if you do not like his opinion, then add me to the conversation...I will take over from that point.
I picked the 650s because I felt it was the most "alive" out of the group of GT3 cars.
I was running 26 all around also down the front straight.
I was considering running softs as my pace was quicker and the car felt a lot more balanced but my worry was the left rear. T1 exit and the exit onto the back straight put a lot of stress on that tire and I wasn't sure if I could make it to a pitstop without overheating and spinning so I took the safer approach.
For whatever reason, the 650s is a lot more twitchy on soft tires than mediums from my experience. If you're trying to manhandle the car on softs, you'll notice that you'll quickly cook the tires which in turn will lead to a looser and twitchy car so be extra smooth on soft tires.
I use protyres app as it shows me the condition of the tires in more granular fashion (inside/middle/outside). This lets me know if I'm overdriving the car. I know nothing at all about setups so I just try to make my driving work.
