RND 8 - Mercedes-Benz C9 @ Spa [26th May to 31st May]

You could edit the surfaces.ini file and issue it to everyone.

Would have to come with a disclaimer that they should backup the original file as it will cause mismatches etc.

I see that as the only way to lock down anything not a track surface, so long as no surface, off track, is named the same in the ini file.

Shaun, My post was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek. I'm terrible in this car, but at least its a good excuse

Looking at the top speed of some drivers, I am not sure if everybody knows this:
this car has variable turbo. you can set your turbo with number 1-0. 0 being 100%.

Also, I will release my setup this week as well. But to keep encouraging people to make their own sets I will release it friday or saturday. This gives people who didn't manage to make a good setup a chance at getting up higher.

believe me , people like Rob Hermans are very good at setups too

Is there a way to rate posts both "informative" and "friendly"? Thanks for that, Remco.

And thank you Narinjan, for that generous comment.

ok I did some testing, just a few laps but my fastest time so far was set by going all 4 wheels off track at turn 18 blanchimont.... you gain time by not loosing momentum on entry ..... didn't test turn 5 ...

did you also test how far you could go off?

nope, my wheels were just outside the curbs on the astro turf .......

Is it normal that I get the engine damage notifier flashing at anything more than 75-80% throttle when the turbo is set to 80%? I drove a few laps like that and nothing exploded, but the flashing graphic was quite annoying.

yes, this is because you are damaging the engine then. I tested that you can do about 2 laps with 100% turbo

70% is the max turbo you can have without it registering any damage at all.

Not done any particular lengthy amount of laps with 80% or higher, although as above, Remco says you can do about 2 laps on max.

Helluva car to get used to though!

I have only tested offline, and 70% is the max I can use, before the Engine went naa sorry not feeling it anymore LOL

I tried 80% and as soon as I touch the throttle, my engine is

I am still trying to work out something....it is the suspension squeaking through Rouge or my bum

The second one.......

What I do, is I do my outlap on 70%, going into my single hotlap I set it to 100%. tires last 1 lap anyway

What I do is, try not to press the throttle, because I spin lol

Where's the option to install a 1.2ltr NA tiny engine for easy driving???

Thanks Remco. Had no idea about this. So just set to 70% for now and took 4.5 seconds off my time and there's still more to come.

My newest setup ( a bit different than my older set where I did my fastest lap with, but this one I can, if I can get that good lap in again, go half a second faster, of which 3 tenths in eau rouge.)

Here is a video of my fastest lap
