This evening I decided to have a go at throwing Nelson Piquet's 2008 Renault F1 car around Singapore. I was interested in comparing the telemetry with the leaked information from the crashgate scandal, as you can see I didn't crash this lap.

I had some mates over on Saturday and we spent the afternoon driving varoius race machinery on my simulator. This was Jason's lap of São Paulo in 2006 Renault F1 Car.

This clip fully shows the X-Sim software in motion along with some of the other new features on my simulator including my two laptops displaying realtime telemetry.

I finally got my simulator up and running this weekend after being without it for a few weeks due to the Frex Simconbase controller unit blowing. The controller unit itself still hasn't arrived back from Japan yet, however I switched the simulator to run X-Sim software so it's using a different interface now.

Below are two clips taken from this evening.

I completed the lap in 1:24.720 with no driver aids vs Alonso's 1:20.253, I did forgot to select minimal fuel so I think I could have gone a little quicker.

Last night I decided to do some practice laps around Silverstone in an F1 car of some sort. I was very keen to only use the driver aids available at the time so I went with a Renault R26 from the 2006 season. This was Renaults World Championship winning chassis and had traction control as the only driver aid. I will post the lap time tonight once I boot up rFactor again and plan to release a split screen vid against Alonso actual qualifying lap.
