SE - Wet Superpole, Nurburgring, Huracan

Right! I refuse to believe that I'm actually 4.5 seconds slower than current online leader in the rankings...

The Huracan feels soooo god daaaaym understeery in these conditions. I use the default wet setup cause I suck at car setups...I lowered the tyre pressure by 0.5 and lowered TC to 6/8, but all I can muster is a lap that puts me rank 431...

My biggest problem, as said, is that the Huracan in my hands just feels like an old dog that is being dragged along on a walk against its will. The more I force is, the more resistance I get from it.

What can I do to get it more friendly and oversteery?

 

Try in reverse.

 

Right now Im feeling just about desperate enough to try it...

 

Is it? last time ive driven the lambo was in 0.1 recently ive been driving it in 0.2.1 and that thing seems to be agile as hell for sure compared to the first launch. Would be nice to record a session of yours to see whats up or could improve

Did you try with slicks and getting a lap in before they get cold? you only get one shot tho and stay on the racing line the slicks wil cool down massivly if you touch damp road and your lap is ****ed

 

I did my run on slicks and I'm 4.1 seconds off the best time, i just used the default aggressive setup and pushed for both the outlap and flying to keep the tyres warm, didnt bother with the second lap since the tyres would be ice cold by then. Haven't tried the wets yet.

I just adjusted TC and ABS (I think 5 and 6) until I was happy with how the rear was behaving, letting the rear of the car slide on corner entry to help with rotation with light trail braking, then counter steering going to the apex and using the accelerator and TC to stabilize the rear on exit. Overall I can get the car to oversteer pretty easily, but its slow since the rear is having to wait for traction through the corner before putting any real power down. But its consistent and I can feel where I'm losing time, mostly in the first sector and the final chicane, and in corner exit speed for the whole track too.

The car does aquaplane going into turn 4 with that setup for me, though it could just be my line.

 

Gave it a few shots again today using just wet weather tyres, but it's useless. Couldnt better my time that stands at a 2:02.718...I tried changing tyre pressure, adjusted rear wing downforce, changing brake force application and TC and ABS settings...

Maybe its me and not the setup...so wish I could drive the Bentley here though, cause the Lambo just ticks me off...

 

@Minolin Thats fair, I just figured since OP said they wanted a more oversteery car but didnt mention trying a run on dry tyres I'd offer my 2 cents.

@Ricky Reject can you record and upload a video of your attempts? if it is a matter of driving style itd be much rasier for others to help if we can look for mistakes. both amd and nvidia have methods of recording gameplay with minimal performance hits

 

As for my times i tried dry and wet tires and

Dry tires get cold and cant really keep up pace with them in the end i managed to do 2.02 with dry tires and same time best with wet tires.

Wet tires start getting some heat so before fast lap i tend to run wet line to keep them optimal for a lap.

Not a pro so cant give any tips but i belive there is way more pace to find on track.

 

Tried tonight for the very first time.
After 4-5 runs i did 1:59.8 on slicks, about rank #27 now.
Aggressive setup, with 5 TC 6 ABS and 62% brake bias.
Not a clean lap since i slightly messed Schumacher S and last turn.
Should be able to improve a bit.

It's entertaining and unforgiving
Yet i prefer the longer stints.

 

Right, this lap is with the default Wet setup with TC set at 5 and ABS at 8. All I can muster is a 2:02.781 which is a few hundreds off my otherwise best lap.

Any pointers?

 

Do you have the video set as private? It's not loading for me

 

Damn it...took me 15 mins to figure how to set it to Public... Try now!

 

You have a problem with steering, Ricky.
Massive understeer.

Use less angle, be more gentle and progressive.
This is crucial on wet especially at turn-in.

Try it, you'll see the difference.

Next step: be more gentle also on brakes, you may actually choose to brake sooner and modulate more.

 

I see the difference and have managed to cut down on the oversteer a little bit, but I can just about get close to my PB (2:02:218).

Gonna give it a few more tries over the course of the weekend, and if that's still a no go, maybe I'm just not cut out for sim racing and I'll find some space game to go play instead, heh.

 

So far wets 1:58.278 (of course rank skipped this lap) and slicks 1:58.404. Only tested couple of times with both. Slicks lap had bad last sector.

Hard to decide which tyres to go for best lap. Wets are much easier and predictable to drive. For a real qualifying I would take those. With unlimited restarts slicks are probably faster in one perfect lap.

 

Which setup do you use for either?

 

Both with basicly same setup. Little changes to the aggressive setup. Wets has less camber. Also pressures are in level where rear temps stay yelloish and fronts almost green.

 

Managed to cut about a second off my previous PB, to where I'm currently ranked #208 - a bit more acceptable, even if I'm still 3.5s or so off the front runners.

I took @fabT 's advice and watched my steering input angle a bit more. I also changed the setting using "Wet default" as the base:

Fuel: lowered to 15
Front roll bar: 2
Rear roll bar: 1
TC: 6
ABS: 8
Rest: default

Car behaves much more like the way I want it and I'm able to better get it turned in as well as being aggressive on the exits without causing massive understeer.

 

Today wets threw an uppercut.
