Keep meaning to ask; are we using Street tires or Semi Slicks for that S1 E92 round Mugello?

I'm on Street tires. I run abt 2 sek faster on the SemiSlicks

Ah ok
I was on semi slick (assumed hotlap challenge = use best available doh)
That means you can run low 13s or 12s with semi slicks (i give up and wait for next weeks)

I did only try the semis for a couple of laps to check, and I did a 13.7, with some small mistakes.
Don't give up, You are always faster than me in LFS.

I suggest we agree on Hotlap mode as the mode to run (I think it has track limits on), and every week select a tyre so there will be no more problems.

Tips;
Less fuel, Less toe
Edit; yes and do it on lap one or two. Otherwise the tire temps go too high.

There are semi-slicks..... how did I miss this...:doh:

Lol, all time's done on stock street tyres unless stated, sounds like a new rule to me.
Yep, the quickest laps come before you start frying the tyres. As for changing setups and dumping fuel.... that's fighting talk. :devil:

Well done all who are having a go.

Someone else want to choose a combo ?
(if not, I'll make an executive decision tomorrow.)

[Seany]

Best I could do was a mid 18! Doh!

[Blindfury46]

458 (semi slick) or Zonda arrrrh ?
can we can we ?

[Lameduck]

E92@ Mugello. New gfx card, new PB :thumbsupsmileyanim:
5  secs off @ 2:22:360 :haha:

[vobler]

Well done!

[Deetz]

Well done Lameduck, that's more like it

After having the update for a week I finally discovered the Zonda on Friday..... Nice, very nice.

However I don't think it will be to suited to the remaining tracks (though I'm probably wrong), so using Blindfury46's other suggestion, I guess the 458 it is.
 
(Though I think the 458 is one of the poorer cars, in real life its know for its very direct steering, which does not seem to be emulated here, plus it has so... much understeer, I thought it should feel a bit more alive, but catchable due to all the electronics. I know powerfull cars need a bit of understeer to balance the power, but.... maybe its just me.)

Anyway I can offer a 1:50.824 to beat round Vallelunga on street tyres, lets allow Semi Slicks, as it will prob help with the understeer.

Let battle commence.

Ferrari 458 @ Vallelunga 1.49.47 on street tyres is my offering.  Yes, lots of under-steer.

....understeer, I thought it should feel a bit more alive, but catchable due to all the electronics.

Remember that some cars, and I think this one, has Traction Control even if you are running in Pro mode. Ctrl-T I think to select different profiles, and off. Same with ABS (Ctrl-A).

Ferrari 458 @ Alleluia 1.49.47 on street tyres is my offering.  Yes, lots of under-steer.

You get right after them Dee.
