Generic Weekly Hotlap Challenge #238

The Challenge: Hotlap
Car: Maserati Alfieri
Track: Brands Hatch Indy





No you are NOT in a time warp! We are extending last week's combo because I was the only one who attempted it. I'm going to assume that its due to summer vacations and that its too nice to be inside and not that no one actually liked the combo. So no worries, you didn't miss your chance to try the Alfieri @ Brands Hatch



RSR WR 52.263


Ideal PSI - Turns out its not listed in my master list of Ideal PSI. From what I can remember from my two laps, I think its around 28.

Very nice to drive the v12 Aston. A few tweaks but very well behaved. I'm sure there's plenty of time left on the table. I kept reducing TC and ABS, ended at 2 and 2. so much grip!!!

Stuck in a safe session as I don’t have much time this week, another family holiday! This was the safe setup with wets thrown on for good measure.

Not going to post anymore until I’ve made a decent improvement - otherwise I could be on every 5 secs!

Mike - I may not be quick on this selection, but it is a great drive nonetheless, very enjoyable.

 

Id try the aggressive setup with wets instead. The cars needs more rotation around this track. Waiting for it to turn just bleeds time, especially in the wet.

Tire pressures should be be between 30-31psi. Keep the ducts at 3. I think my starting pressures are in the 25psi range

 

Tyre pressures are in a good window, I’ll have a go with the aggressive setup and wets.

Have to be honest though, got distracted thrashing a 962c around Nords using the shifter.

 

Cant blame you there haha!

Whats your tc and abs? I found so much time dropping them to 2/2.

Apparently light rain means dry when you're on wets lol

Hello guys,

I am back from the beautiful Seychelles. While I had a pleasant time, I started to miss my sim rig after a while



So, back to racin today - I felt super rusty, even a bit dizzy after the first corners. So I did a couple of laps just to get back into rythm. Like others, I pretty much maxed out fron camber and set toe to ~0 front and back.

Shake down with standard wet set up (but turned down TC and ABS)...what was noticeable at the weekend, in all car classes not just the GT3/4 racing, was how many people overshot and carried straight on at the chicane at the end of the Bentley straight, that feels like quite a hard mistake to make in the sim...they must be being much more daring on the brakes than I am!

 

i brake at the "I" marker for that left right. Just stay right and as you start braking you need to start going left and trail brake all the way around, i go down to 1st gear for the right, which always seems awkward
