NR2003 Nurburgring lap times thread

Players posted Nurburgring lap times in NR2003 using the converted track from sim-garage, with some initial confusion with F1 2002 GTR mod times. Dave Henrie compared the power, weight and gearbox of stock cars and FIA GT cars to explain the differences.

Should be Jan considering I've seen guys turn 1:27s at Monza in them and they aren't guys I'd class as speed demons in GPL. "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tf9ya.9776$[email hidden]...

I just saw N�rburgring and something with "00" and implied that it was F1 2002 with the GT mod. There's one question though, why do the times differ between the two versions? Is it a different N�rburgring layout in N2003? Cheers, Norbert

Hey, took me at least seven or eight laps to get there after downloading the Ring. ;-) But I agree, there's a lot of room for improvement . Norbert

The unmodified GTR 2k2 cars have approximentally 600 horsepower. The Winston Cup Stock car is closer to 750hp. But the winston Cupper weighs a great deal more. FIA=2425lbs(1100kg) vs WC=3400lbs(1542kg) Six speed clutchless tranny in the FIA cars vs 4 speed clutched transmission in the Cup cars. Both sims model grip differently. Even tho the core track is the same(from gpl) it's conversion to another sim is different. Indeed, I think you would find the FIA cars even faster IF the track was properly smoothed out. I suspect a fair sized decrease in lap times when the official Simbin Track is released. Of course I don't think any of the simbin versions will exactly match the 67 based GPL to Nr2k3. Simbin is creating a traditional track, circa 1977 for their F1 77 mod, a modern track(cutting off the straights infront and behind the old pits) and a 24hour track which combines the Nordscleife circuit with the modern F1 circuit for a slightly longer lap. There are lots of reasons why lap times are different. I, (a known slug) can take a 600hp Viper in the SCGT version and get lap times in the 6 minute range with hotshoes in heavily tweeked cars getting down to 5 minute laps. Every sim is different, especially sims that model different series and ESPECIALLY mods of different series. What's frustrating for me(Mr Slug) is that I can't take a beta of the Audi R8 from the LeMans 2k2k24hr mod and even get close to the faster GTR times..even tho the GTR cars are much more difficult to drive. ;< dave henrie

FIA GT cars are clutchless? I thought fully manual trannies were mandated. Jason

Ah yes, but many racing trannies can shift gears without usng the clutch, at least on the upshit, you just briefly lift the throttle a fracion to unload the transmission and snap it into gear letting the "dogrings" do their bit....or whatever they use these days instead of a syncromesh, pretty neat actually Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
