SRO E-Sport GT Series

Yes agree that hotstint with fixed setup is good.

Would be interesting to see the replays though, not in the sense that they need to prove anything, but to learn

 

Agree.
If I have to compare to FPS games I find being fast is like the K/D and the consistency is playing the objective.

Mostly playing the objective is way more important. You can really turn around a match with that

Then there are people that have 22 K/D AND they play the objective and you are f*****

 

I am 34 seconds off from the fastest time in the 10 min stint using the controller. I reckon it's not that bad for controller driving with everything turned off.

 

So I heard it possible to change the default aggressive setup while being on track through the ini file.

 

Haha I made it a point of honor not to be over 10 seconds away from the top time and I managed for a while but.. then the aliens engaged warp speed I am almost 12 seconds behind the n.1 .. 12 seconds.. he could stop for a selfie and I'd still be behind. Damn. I will try again, for my dignity!
Given that I was driving at about 1:49.8 average, and I need to make up around 2 seconds, 1:49.6s can do the trick. The thing is I have to avoid making mistakes for 10 minutes.. ok maybe there's a new mod car in AC I need to try instead

(And now that I think about it.. the fastest guy made like 1:47.xxx with 62 liters in the tank for 10 minutes. Wow)

Still, this made me realize how important is to learn ALL the points of a corner and not just the braking point. As always happens, with practice I have learned the first few corners of Monza rather well, which means 1) braking point 2) turning point 3) apex 4) exit point. On other corners I just remember the braking point and.. try my luck. The difference is night and day.

 

there is a lot of room for improvement... too bad the agressive setup is a bit too agressive for me.
i was (on friday) like 9,7s off the total time but i messed up one of my laps, doing only 50,8. the consistency is still not very good, it varies between 49,4-49,8.
if i could do all my laps in the 49 flat that would be really nice, i'd be pleased with that. but seems not possible

 

I realize how to improve your times in special events by a very inocent way. I will tell only to the devs but surely they know it.

 

Nah, it´s no secret that you can do many things to do faster lap times in the event.

You can heat the breaks and tyres before reaching the parabolica or you can even can burn a lot of fuel before starting.
A lot of ppl for sure are trying to cheese (or cheat if you wanna call) their way into event.

I got to ask to the devs, are this thing allowed? I hope not...

By the way, can I ask for the next event that we can be able to edit only the eletronics by the setup page? It´s very annoying to have to set the eletronics everytime you restart in the cockpit
I know there is a lot of things more important at the moment, but I got to say this would be a life saver in this events XD

Edit:
I can see heating breaks and tyres normal, because even real life drivers do this in races and qualys to get better performance, but burning fuel stopped before start the hotstint I feel like is too much for this kind of event. Just my opnion.

 

what i only do is set TC to 4, and warm up brakes and tyres before the parabolica. no fuel burning.
(also used to set the brake balance more and more to the front, from 61,4 to 61,8-62, but it might be my driving style. the rears used to overheat. the curse of agressive setup.

 

I speak about other thing, the gain is real, but i can be wrong because i dont try to replicated. PM send and i will not say any more

 

I guess there are good reasons for having to submit a replay.

 

guys where to submit it? is there still time? can I post it here XD??

 

@Minolin I’ll never be one of the top times but I’m thoroughly enjoying using the CC feedback to help me improve, from a starting point of around 1:53/54 I’m now able to run consistent 1:50’s/low 1:51s with the standard setup. Only a couple of tenths off a 1:49 now .

Congrats on designing such a great system of feedback.

 

Still tells me I need to register although I did... :/

 

Do we get to see the replays afterwards for research pourposes ?

I managed to do some 1.48.5xx laps but not a whole stint. Obviously people could do better than that and mantain consistency but taking a second per lap is daunting.

PS.: Are people burning fuel? I did heat my tyres and breaks but to stay stopped and burn it all down well ...

 

played around with example times one would need to match the top time(not that i am anywhere close). I just love the challenge it presents though and with this rating system my consistency has improved substantially.

lap 1 - 1:48.230
lap 2 -1:47.901
lap 3 -1:47.812
lap 4 -1:47.799
lap 5 -1:47.555
lap 6 -1:47.398
Total - 10:46.695

 

@cobrettee I don‘t think its possible to improve so much every lap just by the fuel burned or so - so my feeling is that the top drivers drive 5 extremely consistent/similar laps except for the first one maybe marginally slower. I myself managed to do 1.48.2 (with 60L of fuel) but unfortunately always had the occassional 1.48.8 inside the 6 laps so did not make it to the top.

@Devs I think it would really be cool for all of us to see the top 10 (or top 3) videos on Youtube afterwards! Would even be further great marketing for SRO & Kunos and a great opportunity for us to learn (and for the top X to show off )!

 

@Chriss yeah was just playing with the numbers to get to that total time - i have only had one session where i broke into the 1:48s for 2 laps with the rest low 1:49s and then proceeded to add 1.8s at ascari on the final lap would love to see sector times as well..just for research
