I think this formula works! Its all about the setup, and it even makes a difference how you get to 300hp!

whos down?

 

posted in the nor cal thread

 

so when is the official shake down for this.

 

teh test day 1 was last night but test day 2 is tonight

 

I think we should change up the tracks because of the power range. This is mainly to keep it exciting and keeping us together. I am suggesting smaller tracks where the average lap time is under 1.40s

Here are my recommendations:

Tsukuba Circuit
Suzuka East Circuit
Tokyo R246? what ever its called
Cape Ring inside
Autumn Ring
Grand Valley East
Clubman

Also keep the boost on so we can keep it tight. The exciting part of racing is going heads up wheel to wheel, not the lap times.

 

So far after doing a couple of trial runs with the locals, its really down to set up on the car. There is numerous ways to get 305 hp, either all NA or with a turbo charger. Having all power isn't always the fastest way around the track, its all up to your set up on suspension.

A good example would be Kenji815 and theheckwithyou and there set ups...

Kenji815 is on a turbo set up and is in the upper part of the hp actually hitting 303. theheckwithyou is on the lower side barely hitting 300hp. Kenji815 is fast on the straights but has severe tire degradation after 10 laps due to his power output and his alignment. Once he hits maybe the 7th lap his lap times and pace falls off. theheckwithyou has great tire wear, isn't fast on straights but does outbrake Kenji815 and catches and even passes on the turns.

It was some exciting battles to see from 3rd position.

 

i think the track changes makes sense.

But lifeplaza is right the setup makes a huge difference, kenji's setup gives him a great pace over a lap. I will admit its awesome just sitting behind him waiting for his tires to fall off. lol

 

lets have another test day tonight at 8pm- ish

Don't you mean wait for his tires to wear down? Cause if his wheels fell off, then his car wouldn't be moving right?? LOL
