Generic Weekly Hotlap Challenge #122 – Die Meisterschaft Deutschlands

Welcome to the thread for the Weekly Hotlap Challenge #122 - Die Meisterschaft Deutschlands and the First Round of our 3rd mini-series - Die Meisterschaft Deutschlands (The Championship of Germany)

The Challenge:
Hotlap
Car: Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016
Track: Nurburgring GP


This next mini-series is a German national championship.
We will be enjoying German circuits (with an exception) and celebrating the German automotive industry’s contribution to driving excellence on road and track, whilst trying to use the cars not yet featured in WHC.
So it’s the turn of the Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016 – powered by a 2litre V4 and electric power generated from two hybrid systems, recovering kinetic energy from braking and heat energy from the turbo/ exhaust. The combustion engine drives the rear axle and delivers around 500hp and the electric motor powers front axle and gives over 400hp.
The recuperated electrical energy is stored temporarily in a lithium-ion battery and feeds an electric motor on demand. That means we can push the KERS button for more power.

Several things to say about this week:
Firstly, this is only the second time we have used the Nurburgring GP circuit in WHC, which I found surprising. So here we go.
Secondly, this week’s challenge is also one of the Special Events, “Finally 18.” This is deliberate. The Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016 takes some setting up, so I’m hoping you may have a tune already but if not, there are plenty of suggestions around and therefore you can concentrate on the driving.
Thirdly, the driving experience will be absolutely and completely different to last week!

A chap called Jimmy Broadbent has posted a detailed vid on Youtube which although long, is very interesting in terms of understanding how to optimise the electrical power in the Porsche 919 Hybrid 2016.



The recommended pressure for the soft, medium and hard slicks is 35psi.

Weekly Hotlap Challenge Championship League
How it works:
1. Enter the Weekly Hotlap Challenge as posted every Sunday evening and you will be automatically entered into the league table.
2. Your ranking in the final standings, posted on Sunday evening, will earn you points, as follows:

3. Every player taking part in a WHC, but finishing outside the top 10 will get 4 points.

5. Players that join WHC after WHC#114 will be awarded 3 points retrospectively for every WHC missed. For example, if you enter WHC for the first time at WHC#124, your name will be added to the table, with 27 points, plus whatever you score in WHC#124.
6. Specialist Challenges will also feature throughout the season. These will be as monthly mini-series, for example Formula 1 February or Muscle Car Month, or nominated car types, for example the best driver in road cars. These events will be announced in the WHC Thread.

This is fun. This car definitely offers a lot to consider with setup..more than I'm capable of at the moment lol

1.42.237 / PS4



This is frustrating. I don't have the technique and timing to drive this machine near the limit, let alone at the limit consistently. I lost count over the hour of both restarts and swear words. What that means is @Totall Wrytoff and @Tibor Sólyom are doing this thing proper! Oh, and also that I love Mercedes Arena and Bit Kurve, which are still two of my least favorite turns (on a circuit) in existence.

I believe this one's running a tick lower on tire pressures, soft compound, lowest power differential setting, lowest fuel setting, one notch down (to 58) on brake bias, and hotlap mode w/ 70% recovery. I actually tried driving a GT3 car immediately after the session on the Nordschleife and it looked like everything was moving in slow motion! And of course I crashed on my attempts to complete a lap because I'm such a bum... haha

And because this challenge involves a Porsche I will be uploading images shortly from my visit to the local Porsche dealership a few weeks ago. Never would've thought I'd see what I'd seen!

 

I really thought I was walking into the dealership for just the red GT3RS that was visible from outside. That alone would've been spectacular, but what I saw next to it blew my mind!

 

Ah like this car.....tricky to see the apex's in Cockpit view though....might have to compromise my principles and use bonnet cam to get a decent time!

Difficult and lots of work to be done but a Very very nice combo

Well that’s a first getting gold on a special event on my first attempt. Last time I tried one of them was probably well over 12 months ago and I struggled to get a bronze or a silver on most of em.

 

Slight improvement

Best get on with some work now :-(

Calm down lads. It's only Monday! Tried a few laps last night and.... It's fast. Not even looking at my times yet just trying to understand the car. Didn't even try the kers yet. It looks like lots of work before behing competitive .

 

Improvement ish

1.39.934 -X1X



Using hot lap or high aggressive in delivery seems to use the KERS up way to quickly.
Low aggressive seems to be working best at the moment.

Really great combo....lots of fun.
Crazy times already in the front

I got Gold with a 1:42.504 in the special event with this set-up. Can't get anywhere close to that time this evening and the juice runs out coming up to the final chicane. Might have to return to stock.
Mark Webber did a 1:39.861 qualifying time for the 6hrs in 2016, so that's the target.

 

1.42.014 (Improvement)/ PS4



Not the biggest improvement if we're going by hard numbers or considering the additional time investment of another hour-plus, but this run was on the charging setting with a lower recovery rate (I believe 40%). Hotlap and High Aggressive modes really take away from the fun of driving this missile.

 

1.43.905 Xbox

That's all I've got for the moment. The good news is that I am really enjoying myself now.
I am on low delivery as well but confused about recovery. Have it at 50% but not sure I see a major difference.

 

Improvement

1.39.150 - X1X



Used low preserve and manually boosted after some corners but saving some for the long straight and for after the chicane and final bit seems to help a lot.
