We have updated the tyre physics for the VRC FW31 slightly, to help avoid incidents on lap 1. If you have already downloaded the dropbox data.acd from the PM I sent out, then you don’t need to re-download this, but you might want to re-install the skin pack as those “disgusting looking tyres” (you know which ones I mean) have been removed:

Physics only: AC VRC Williams FW31 Physics Update

Skins+Physics: AC Williams FW31 Physics & Skins

Physics changes – The tyres will have more grip at the start of a stint and also feel a bit more secure when they start to slide – therefore slightly more stable when cars touch wheel-to-wheel. Otherwise, the car is unchanged.

We are moving to the VRC version of the FW31 for this race. However, they have kindly provided us with a data file that replicates the physics of our current car mapped onto the new car. Please download the following:

• AC VRC Williams FW31 (v1.4) from RaceDepartment – if you haven’t installed it already.
• AC Williams FW31 Physics & Skins – our modified data file and some extra skins. Just merge the contents of the zip file with your current vrc_2009_williams_fw31 folder and the data.acd file will be overwritten automatically and the new skins inserted.

We will also be using the FtF rules app to monitor pit entry speeds. The pit entry at Monza is defined by the armco barrier in-between the track and the pit lane where the orange marshal precariously sits:

• If you are inside the speed limit (50mph/80kph) by the time you cross the line, you will receive no punishment.
• If you make a reasonable attempt at slowing down but just fail to do so, it will treated as a corner cut.
• No reasonable attempt will receive a reprimand “or worse”!

Again we have no clear pit entry line defined, so the normal pit entry rules will NOT be implemented. You may speed in at will, although it’s close to impossible here without cutting over the grass – which is not permitted.

Can Spa live up to the action from race 1?

Important Note:- VRC have released a new version of this car on RaceDepartment. It installs as a different car, so the current car does not get overwritten. By all means, go ahead and download this car and do some testing BUT….WE WILL STILL BE USING THE SAME VERSION OF THE FW31 THAT WE USED LAST WEEK AT THE NÜRBURGRING FOR THE RACE AT SPA.

We will take a view on using the new VRC car (with or without KERS) for Monza.
