Round 3 Lausitzring GP - Thu Oct 29, 2020

Given that Lausitzring has been updated again with some crash fixes and an improved pitlane for multiplayer I assume we'll be updating to that version?
Also this Lausitzring thread seems to be having an identity crisis still!

 

I would rather have Imola

 

RaceDepartment, pretty much all Non-ripped tracks are hosted and kept up to date there.
(I'd rather have Imola too )

 

Long time ago, 2001 i ride one of my last races with a motorcycle here at the lausitzring. I hate the circuit, but i think, the race will be better than the last race.
Happy driving guys and have fun !

 

Wat kind of motorcycle was that Dennis? And what series?

 

I was very busy, a Yamaha TZ 250, a Kawasaki ZXR400 and the MUZ-Cup 660. The MUZ-Cup starting at the Sachensring GP 2001 and it was a great event to drive the same
circuit as Valentino Rossi and the other 500ccm heros.

 

Well, let me tell you..compared to last event where surface was dead flat, its not the case here

 

Oh man, tell me about it! Two corners in particular are so annoying I had never driven this track before, not very sensational but feels like a proper track compared to Meadowdale.

 

That Meadowdale track's layout as much as it is done flat, it's actually pretty technical and good for some basics with any car, and so these cars too. In the end I really enjoyed speeding through those esses, the car was flying.

This one however, will be handful, a real arena! Already with quite some history. I had it since it got out, but didn't do much except some DTM fun with AI. Did some laps recently with Lancia only in a default setup car, like always. That's actually my default testing car With tweaking it a bit here and there, shortest gears and suspension, nothing special, managed to improve by 1 second. Now I'm not sure if that's because I did even MORE laps or the setup improved it a lot I'll do something with other cars just to see what they're like at this place, and then post some setups, during or later in the week probably.

 

Haven't tried it in game but the file download works.

 

I manually unpacked -> Drag-and-dropped -> Replaced files in the destination of my DRM folder and it seemed to have worked fine. I'm just going to try and enter the server now to see if I get Checksum'd .

 

Okay, just checked. After updating the cars and circuit version I was able to enter just fine. So the updates seem to work.

 

Here, ran some race laps the other day and came up with some setup tweaks that wants to turn. It's on the loose side. As usual, not that much in the setup but driving it around and turning laps. Nailed some turns, some went wide. Just need to brake in time. These were in 1:51s with this Lancia 79. With endurance tire and 90% turbo. Started with some 35 liters of fuel that's good for about 17 laps. But the way track is, with a lot of slow corners, might as well put in fuel for the whole distance and not do a pitstop. We'll see.
