Track: Suzuka
Car: Formula Hybrid 2018
Weather: Clear
Track: Optimum
Temperature: 20.0C

If you do not have Assetto Corsa, please submit your times with the sim you are using, replicating the track conditions as closely as possible.

Please use the car’s default setup. You may only adjust fuel levels, tyres, TC, ABS, Brake Bias, and ERS deployment level.

You have until 27/08/2023 23:59 to submit your best lap. Please only submit times in a top level comment. If you have already submitted a lap and you improve, please edit your top level comment.

Please include a screenshot of your lap time for verification.

Notes

You may change ERS deployment mode to Hotlap.
You will need to map a button to DRS if you don’t have that.

Last time out

I managed to just edge SimpleDev and F4celess for the win.

    That’s a great lap! I’m in the 1:31.2s at the moment. Getting a clean lap in whilst really pushing here is hard!

      Thanks! I honestly had no idea what a decent lap was with this car/track hah.

      It’s definitely a track you have to be really precise at (in this car especially) otherwise you go slightly off line and run just wide enough in places to dip a wheel in the grass and around you go.

      Really really fun though, especially when you get it just right!

      Looking forward to seeing if I can improve a bit more this coming weekend. I’m sure you’ll catch up to me soon enough lmao.

        I’m down to a 1:30.7, but I’ve realised I was running with Hotlap energy deployment. I’m pretty sure that’s not the default though :/

          You know…I may have ran in hotlap mode as well just out of quali habit.

          I’ll have to run again in the default mode this weekend and post that time just to be sure. I don’t want any advantage haha

          Good thing you pointed that out lol

          Edit - Though I would argue for hotlaps it would make sense to be able to use whatever default onboard controls the vehicle has imo.

            It makes sense that the ERS system can be changed. It’s one of those things that people can easily understand. Maybe I just change the rules there.
