Hey guys. I was doing the D Class League event a little earlier in the evening and uhm… Lime Rock decided it didn’t like me very much. It only seemed to do this to my car on the actual rumble strips. The smooth concrete(?) pieces on the corners produced no trouble.
I would include video footage, but we all know how convoluted that can be these days, so hopefully these basic pictures can help out.
EDIT: Photos not linking properly from Flickr, so I apologize for the large ones.
Lap 1: Dipping inside of the first left-handed corner and this glitch smacks me around like I hit an invisible wall.
Back half of Lap 1: I overcooked this corner regardless, but it looks like my car was snatched inward here. Very odd.
Same Corner: I snapped this at a halfway point of coming off of the bump strip to show how even with the weight still loaded, the front end of the car is at a way more normal ride height.
Lap 3: On Lap 2 I avoided bump strips entirely. However on Lap 3 I decided to test my luck once more.
Same spot, Front Angle: I’m no physics master, but that doesn’t add up…
Immediately coming off of the rumble stripping: Well that looks a lot more like expected behavior.
Very Next Corner: Smooth Concrete, no problems.
Same Spot, Side-ish Angle: Might not be the best line, but still.
You can even see how in that first shot there on Lap 1 the bumper is dented. This makes no sense as the D Class League right now has no collisions and I ~know~ I didn’t hit anything before that invisible wall.
If this is a known issue, feel free to delete/move/whatever, but I figured I’d reach out to see if this is happening to everyone because I never had this happen in the demo nor when I ran Lime Rock in Career.
