Dane503 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Is there not some kind of list with fastest lap times for each track, I dont know about anybody else but i like to know the fastest lap times for each track so i have like a target to aim for when i am practicing so to speak Some people may or may not agree but i think a little list with each track we race on and the fastest lap time beside it would be a good idea
HGR#777 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 I this be good idea too but all I get when I ask is it's all about consistency.
CrashleyEngland846 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Maybe if admins put fastest lap of the night on Results for each meeting?????????????? just an idea..... Edited March 28, 2017 by CrashleyEngland846
LeeK39 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 If you have a browse of the thread Here, you will find a results viewer. Then all you need to do is download the replays files from the first post in the results thread. In those zip files you will also find the results files (the .xml files) direct from the server in there. Open them in the viewer and you will be able to view the lap times. Hope this helps.
Dane503 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Posted March 28, 2017 Cheers Leek, could make my own list then haha
Dane503 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Posted March 28, 2017 Works a treat Barford: Name: Dan Skinner #236 Fastest Lap: 12.910 Northampton: Name: Jamie Ward #180 Fastest Lap: 14.474 Kings Lynn: Name: Jack Ward #184 Fastest Lap: 15.943
Wardieee Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 I'm all for this being a good idea, but people get obsessed with stuff like this for no reason. It's a known fact you will go faster on track when in traffic as you can get little leans off people coming out of corners or use them to slow you down at a later apex ect, so PLEASE remember that these laptimes are taken from race conditions with 23 other cars bashing around the person who sets the fastest lap. In a 20 lap final your .4 is no use of your averaging .8s, stockcars racing in general is all about consistency.... a fastest lap of .5 with an average of .6s will always beat a .4 with an average of .8s. Before doing 1000 laps setting your car up to go fast over a lap, remember that the car needs to be able to take a hit, slam the fence ect. Look at the fastest drivers in an F2 server, on average there will be 92, 117, 184, 236, 238 and myself. Half of the cars on that list can blast myself, Dan and John in practice but when it comes to racing they can't touch anything near that 'lap time' in the server. This isn't because the can't drive, it's because the car isn't set up to bounce off the wall or clip the carb a few times. Personally I always compromise pace for that durability within the setup, and that would be my advice to everyone else on track. These things certainly aren't hotrods...
Dane503 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Posted March 28, 2017 Oh i totally understand that those times are set when in race conditions etc consistency whats that lol, i can never be consistent like you guys My settys only work when im on my own, if im in a pack then im useless and get nowhere just like at barford the other night
Wardieee Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 wasn't aimed at you Dane, more the novice drivers who are yet to get to grips with it
