Game Forum / Simulators / Car Simulators / June 2004Infineon Cup car setup
Anyone have a good one that they are willing to send or post a link to? TIA, Bob I would assume this is the best you will find on the net: http://www.sim-replays.de/HotlapsN2003/SearsPoint_AW_setups.zip However I sure could use some help here. Regardless of setup I am in the 1:19.x range. Turning more laps has resulted in getting slower. Over the last 6 months all the NR2003 forums have dried up and now I cant find anyone that is actively discussion Infineon. HELP how do you get around this place? I am 5 to 7 seconds off the pace any help you give will not let me beat you so please give freely :-) cobra-drvr BattleStarRacin BattleStarHC >Anyone have a good one that they are willing to send or post a link to? > >TIA, >Bob http://www.giospeed.com/garage.html (replay) I can do 1:16s with the Fast setup, and I suck at RC's. SO if I were you I'd spend a boatload of time on the track before worrying about setups. :) Tim > I would assume this is the best you will find on the net: > http://www.sim-replays.de/HotlapsN2003/SearsPoint_AW_setups.zip [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >TIA, > >Bob I can almost guarantee you are trying TOO hard. Don't drive in as deep. Go for speed on exit, not on entry. I'm no road course mastermind, but I've learned the above the hard way :) -Larry > I would assume this is the best you will find on the net: > http://www.sim-replays.de/HotlapsN2003/SearsPoint_AW_setups.zip [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >TIA, > >Bob I believe you are correct, but oddly some of the better RL qualifiers today were not coming out of the turns at full throttle. Based on the brake and throttle displays they show on TV, quite a few drivers were coasting around turns 4 and 7, and to some degree even 10, and not getting back onto the throttle until well past the apex, almost until they were fully straight again. Not sure how much difference it made - Jeff Gordon drove that way and qualified 1st, but OTOH Rusty drove the course in the more traditional manner, full throttle at or very near the apex, and qualified 2nd. It seemed like most of the drivers though were coasting through the turns. > I can almost guarantee you are trying TOO hard. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -Larry > I can almost guarantee you are trying TOO hard. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -Larry He's right, if not getting any faster with more laps then without a doubt you would be over driving, slow in - fast out is really the key at infineon, concentrate on driving a smooth line with minimum tire squeal. Its a difficult place to hussle a cup car around and I certainly havn't come close to mastering it yet. BTW... Don't listen to me. I can't get out of the 1:19's :( I hate this friggin' place. -Larry > I can almost guarantee you are trying TOO hard. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -Larry Thanks for the advice! So here is where I stand: I have hit 1:18:3xx and can get 1:18.7 for a few laps. But I am leaning on my left side tires too much and wearing them out. So have some work to do there too. I turned steering assist off, and set steering linearity to 100%. I had been running with SA off for some of my practice so that was not a big dieal but 100% SL did take some getting used to. I also stopped hunting for the magic setup and settled on Expert (did set the steering ration to 12:1 and am playing with the brake bias). As for the Cup cars qualifying yesterday....I am not sure I trust the graphics that they show for brake and throttle. If you watch real close I dont think the audio and the lights are in synch. I watched Mark Martin and JGordons laps several times. Several times I heard them on the throttle yet the light showed no green. Just my opionion but I think there is a delay on that telemetry. I think the same thing happens online with their trackpass too. Thoughts? cobra-drvr >BTW... Don't listen to me.

First it wasn't just the telemetry, it really did look as if many of them were overdriving the slower turns and still turning in a good lap time. However the lap times are all down versus last year due to the new pavement. And even the quickest guys made obvious mistakes which cost them time and put them back closer to the guys that were driving it incorrectly. So I think once the drivers adjust to the new pavement we will see the records broken again and we will also see the guys who know how to drive correctly pull away from the guys who are pushing too hard. > As for the Cup cars qualifying yesterday....I am not sure I trust the > graphics that they show for brake and throttle.

I'd say it's probably intentional although the lag could just be due to buffering large amounts of data. Hard to say for sure.
