yeah that's why it's better to do it right before going into the complex things...And if you want to take into account all the possible setting your suspension kinematic can have, that's actually not only a toe curve but you have to implement a multibody model with possibility of setups (toe,caster,pSteer,camber,ride height,...).
Well to be honest, having everything which is higher that contact path is more important to have first before having a perfect tyre model. If you start with the tyre model, you will be misleaded by errors in suspension kinematics, aero load,...so your tyre can't be realistic...unfortunately that's how lfs have been developed, even if lfs physics are better than most of video games, there is still many way to improve it before investigating in depth tyre model.
well that's depend actually because many factors influence on tyre radius. rotationnal speed, camber, wear (it change the structural properties of the tyres), temperature,...
Tyres are so complex, lfs should probably focus on some more useful stuff tbh like having aero map pitch sensitive, and what about having aero load actually creating some spring deflection and requiring the use of bump stop?.
When Niki told me the news on facebook I couldn't believe it and still can't
Tomek was one of those people that push everyone up simply by his natural talent. He was a really strong competitor ,some said sometimes too much but at the end of the day that was just showing how much he was passionnated by motorsport and that LFS, as he confessed to me once, was unfortunately the only way for him to be close to his dream.
I would always remember how enthusiast he was after the Blackwood round of the opening GT2WS. He really enjoyed his race with Isaac on that day and that made him happy, but he was also sad because thanks to some massive draft I had, I made the fastest lap of the race, beating his time. That was Tomek, always fighting to be #1, and that's simply what he was.
Rest in peace my friend, hope you will keep be winning where you are now.
We recovered from my early mistake & disconnection thanks to red flag. Then I got some scary moment at the restart passing the field but in the end on the second part of the race we started hour 2 with something like 50s gap (thanks to me failing to change tyres :facepalm. Would have been even better if me and Adam didn't make it more complicated by changing the suspension geometry but yeah it ended much better than how started..however sad for 63, they deserved it and I'm not so sure I would have called any multi 21 action if I could have done
That made me though that the grand stand around Aston track are really badly placed ! Look at the view you have if you are in the one at the begining of the s/f straight
Well it is based on spdo setup from 2012's 24 hours of Aston Grand Prix (AS5) that we ended 2nd. That's actually the cargame version so it needs some adjustment for AS6 but that's still a decent base imo. It will need some different arbs, possible aero and also dampers.
I'm posting the set here as anyway I have already sent it to a lot of people on cargame and it appears that some teams competing here already have it.
irl racing teams have some nice screens on which they have all the weather informations and track temperature...Some factory also bring their own system but well, wind going north is still coming from north right?
Well with that wind direction there were a lot of corner that were actually transition between front wind an rear wind (basically every hairpin) so yeah rear grip was terrible in t1 for example.
Well at the end of the day, maybe different teams have won the races but their drivers are still racing as Tomek who won round 1 will be racing for nitor velox, you and Jesse will have a go for ineX and Joonas will drive for CoRe.
