Finally a Nords WR (sort of)

After about a two weeks of learning the track I've finally got a WR time on Nords. (I crashed a lot trying to get this time).

Sort of anyway, it's a WR if you filter out non-pro laps and people not using the right gear shifter. (Cheaters! )

Car was an Alfa 155, default setup apart from a lower fuel load (13l seemed the minimum I could get away with).

 

Congrats..

Now just wait for everyone who reads this to log on and try beat your time.

Let the fun begin

 

It's your turn

Congrats!

 

Thanks.

I say go for it, game on etc.

If it's a pro lap with the proper h-shifter and manual clutch it's a fair competition.

My time is definitely beatable as it wasn't the world's cleanest lap.

Best I can do for now.

 

oooooo.. noooo not for me.. i HATE that car.

 

Lol. I was expecting to log back on here and find you'd beaten my time already

 

Lol/cry.

Someone driving under the name of Daniel Perez just beat my time, by 12 seconds.

 

7:21 is very good!! I just gave it a try and also with H shifter (of course) all assists off, SC 0%, MD 100% and tire wear/blankets on --> 7:31
Maybe after some extra practicing with this car 7:25 is doable but 7:21....hat off!

I'm on a PS4 so not possible to submit in RSR

Also fun is this one:

I am very happy with my 12:22 but @Fab85 pushed out a 12:21 and is the leader of the Abarth 595SS pack

 

I tried a couple of laps more and got to save 3 seconds more.

I recorded the lap and uploaded to youtube if you want to watch it, maybe you can find where to save time and improve your time even more.

 

Thanks Daniel, I'll have a look.

A nice consolation after only holding the WR for about an hour

I knew when I did that lap there were lots of places I wasn't maxing out the car, will be interesting to see your approach

Btw you think medium tyres are best here? I was on softs.

I don't know very much about car setups.

 

I watched the lap and I'm surprised that my racing lines, braking points and gears are more or less the same, apart from some corners towards the end which I haven't mastered yet.

Mainly I think it's just that I'm not doing it all as cleanly and I'm not carrying as much momentum round the corners.

Interesting that I'm losing about 15 seconds just by being a bit messy and not having a couple of corners towards the end worked out well enough.

Softer tyres might make some difference but I'm guessing not much.

 

I have not tried softs but medium tyres are at good temperature the whole lap with a temperature of 26°C. Soft tyres will possibly overheat, you will be faster at the first sector but you will suffer at the 2nd and 3th sector.

For the setup I changed this:
Rear wing at 1
Gearing 2 ticks up
Left tyres preassure 2 ticks lower
Rear Bump dampers one tick stiffer
Rear springs 2 ticks softer
Front and rear height 2 ticks higher
Engine limiter 103%
And 13L of fuel for one lap

 

Nice thanks.

I'll try those settings and see how much of a difference they make.

I had everything default apart from fuel and soft tyres.

I'll still have to improve my driving though

 

At Nords there are a few key corners before the long fast sections, these you need to maximise the exit speed and can easily lose 1 or 2 seconds before the next brake point just missing the apex pr being a bit later on throttle.

Using a delta especially a PB delta really helps as you can see instantly where your gaining or losing time. You will see if your a little messy into a corner how this will effect your exit and how much time you lose. In some sections you may find that being a bit more agressive can gain time but mostly keeping it clean and tidy hitting all apexes will give best results.
