Zandvort toyota gt86 hotlap

Hi guys , just a quick question.
Last night i take the toyota gt86 in zandvort and I did a full practice session (arund 50 laps). My best time after disabled the traction control was 1.07.6. I'am not a newby and in iracing i take around 1 second and half from the best.
I check in the world record session of the RSR live timing and verifyed that a lot of people lap in 1.03 and 1.04!!!!)....... so where is the issue ?....ok for 1 second and half but 4 second is a loooooot....are they running in a different version of Zandvort from the one included in the last version of the game?.... or is it a problem of the shifter ?... currently i am using the old g27 with paddles behind the wheel....thank for the answer

 

Were you using semislick tyres? Also did you use the optimum grip preset? I imagine those semislick tyres will be starting to wear after one or two laps so if you did 50 or so in a row your tyres would have been very worn!

You could upload a replay of your best lap to YouTube and post here so people can help you better.

 

Yes, yes i use semislick tyres....but we are talking about 4 seconds difference........ in fact i reach my best after 4 or 5 laps..
What you mean with optimum grip preset? I ve to specify that i don t modify the set up....(Tyres pressure and so on ....)

 

You should be able to see here. I have highlighted the session tab and then the track grip preset itself in green. Here it is set to dusty. Set this to optimum which is 100% grip. You can see the current grip during a session from the pitbox menu along with track temp etc.

mmmm.... thanks for your answer Andy.... for sure i use 23C for the ambient temp....but i dont drive in the hotlap mode but in the practice mode.....(ps: nice car in your screen)....i addition I noticed that the hotlap showed in the RSC site are made in a multiplayer section... i don't know if something changes

 

Your welcome It should look exactly the same in practice mode, just make sure where mine says "dusty" (I dont use the normal AC launcher but a mod version called content manager instead, so it is set to default I guess which is "dusty") yours says "optimum". A rule of thumb but I think you can expect to lose something like half a second on a normal length track with every 1% reduction in grip. So if you are using "green" which I think can be as low as 94% grip you could expect to lose around 3 seconds or so compared to optimum grip.

and yeah, you cant beat a good old TVR ...at least in the sim where it cant break down!

 

mmm... what you mean with "green"..... sorry for the stupid question

 

The smaller green box in my picture above. That is where you adjust the grip preset (just click in that area ingame.) All of the options there adjust the grip percentage but have names like "old" "dusty" "green" "fast" "optimum" just make sure you select optimum for maximum grip. Doesnt matter if you are in hotlap mode or practice mode you can still choose your grip preset before a session.

... If you want more info on those track grip presets, in the post above where I included the image click the spoiler under the image titled "track grip preset".

 

Now is clear thanks a lot!....I will check and i will let you know about the timelap...see you on the track...
