Well, that went quite good for me for my first AMS2 race at SRS. Couldn't complete a good lap in qualifying so I started from 3rd spot. Snatched 2nd position from Sjoerd right into turn 1, and then Andre Tristao the leader makes a mistake at Casino and goes wide banging at the barrier. While he gathers back up, down towards Mirabeau I manage to snatch the lead from him. As I took a glance at the replay, it looked like I hit him on the inside while passing as he went wide again. But from my replay no contact was made. I was up against the walls at Mirabeau and there was almost 1 meter between us when he suddenly went wide there, like he was being pushed. I was kind of confused but that's got to be AMS2 netcode as Andre is racing from Brazil. AC is still much better there, in my opinioin. So, eventually I tried to just drive kind of carefully and fast enough and was able to stretch a bit of the lead towards the end.
Performance was similar to AC for me, with great AMS2 graphics. Occasionally would get some frame drops and micro freezes so I would miss braking points a bit here and there. But again, I was lucky to have a clear track in front most of the race. I made quite a few little mistakes, brushing the barriers a couple of times. That squeaky brushy sound makes me laugh so hard. In the second half I got loose into the Pools area through the fast chicane and banged the barrier hard. I wasn't laughing that much anymore and I expected a bent toe-link or something, but the car still went good. It seems from the results all those little brushes against walls didn't count except that big one, as I've got 1 incident point registered.
I didn't fiddle much with setups, except hoping more front anti-roll bar, more ride height and a bit softer springs could help me with bumps. Tire pressures were kind of more important to me as I don't know the proper ideal figure. It seems to me that if tires are at ~1.9 bars when warm, the car turns quite well and especially around here. Almost too good, as it was very loose after a couple of laps when tires warmed up and pressures got built up. Any ideas on ideal tire pressures in AMS2?
