ICR lap times ( let's compare)

OK all you ICR players. Who would like to begin a lap time 'contest' of sorts? someone can post a time for a particular track and whoever beats it will subsequently post theirs. Also, if you want to include set-up and car used. How bout it? I'll start things off by saying that i got a 1'15.2.. at Portland using the default Penske 93. I know this will be beat but hey it's a start! As for Laguna Seca, a 1'20.... , i use the keyboard and have it set on non-linear steering. That's about it. I'll have to get into set up more but am just fooling aroung right now. Pascal

I recommend getting a joystick because the non-linear stearing is necesarry to get good times I think. Mike

Some times I have done... Michigan 236mph Loudon 179mph Long Beach 60s (can't break the 60s barrier there...) Laguna Seca 1.10s Nazareth 175 mph Joe

IMHO, I do not think it is fair to compare times from someone using a keyboard to the times from someone with a joystick/yoke/input device. I suggest noting the type of control used so that fair competition results. Also, where does it describe what the difference is between ACE and FAST settings? What is the correct interpretation of these terms? And while I'm here, how can you avoid getting smoked off of the line when you do a standing start? I tried different turbo settings, but I still get passed by 4-5 cars every time. On a pace lap start this isn't a problem.

I agree. I'm using a Virtual Pilot with Max pedals. The yoke is great. The pedals have broken many times, however I've managed to repair them. I have managed consistent 63 second laps at Portland. What you need to do is run ALOT of donwforce so you can get through turn 1 (after the chicane) almost flat in 5th and then drop into forth for turn 2. This is with a 93 Lola XB. I've found that setting up the car with (depending on the track) ~35-50 front shocks and and ~15-20 rear on road courses works well. This gives you good grip out of the corners. On ovals you want to run the opposite, less front shock (10-20) and more rear (45-60). I noticed that a setup that works well for a Penske 93 puts the car in a oversteer condition with a Lola. Very cool. Has anyone found a good setup for Long Beach?

Laguna = 1'10.2 (fastest lap in 30% race) Think I had a 1'09 going until I overcooked the corkscrew :-(. Michigan = 233 (fastest lap in 15% race) Milwalkee = 169 (qualify 4th) Setups: ACE, with some tweeks for optimal tire temps Also run more rear bar to fix push on ovals Opponents: 101%, 25 cars Weather: Random Car Damage: ON Car: Penske 93/Chevy C Machine: 486/66 w16Meg, Sound Blaster =8-), Flightstick Having a real tough time trying to get my line sorted out at Portland... -- -------------------------------------------------------- '93 RS America- GP White '82 911 SC - GP White

I've done low 58 sec. at Long Beach. I used the ACE setup and had about 35gal of fuel when I got this time. y.e.

Yseterday I got a 206.693 at michigan anda 147... at new hamsphire --> Sorry if these have been beat already! Pascal D A
