Holy crap! If you guys can wait another day I'll do some testing tomorrow and figure out which one I like best.
 
Sorry I missed the race guys, I work shift . Sounds like I missed a good race..

When I liked your post, it only included something along the lines of "french, spinning out and sex." Now it shows that you posted this night track that I am horrible at. You're lucky I'm not taking that like away. :sly:

For the PP ranges, do you always halve the total group PP and give it a range of 41? Like if the group PP is 700, would the range be min 330 and max 371? If not, what's usually the formula there? I'm gonna practice tonight since I won't have the weekend or Monday.
 
I believe the range is 5% of the average PP value.
 
I'm pretty sure it's 5% either way. 700 would be a 350 average so 333 to 368. 840 would be 420 average so 399 to 441. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Ah that makes more sense. Thanks!

Also just noticed the formula is right there on the spreadsheet. I am not a smart man.

Done.

Koszak will you try to grab the next top of the page post (TotP)

I know but we will get there;)
 
Oh will we?

Testing this afternoon:

700pp:
FF - Suzuki Swift '07 356pp
4WD - Joby's Honda Element '03 344pp

840pp:
MR - Opel Speedster Turbo '00 430pp
FR - Toyota GT86 Base Model Race Car '12 410pp
 
Go Element Go.
 
Just realized I'm down to 50,000 credits left. I'll need to do some A-spec races then I'll hopefully have time to test...
 
Got to duck out to the post office at some point today, will probably be able to get some testing in around 2pm my time.
 
Lets see if this works



Well I guess that just takes you to photobucket. The first 30 seconds are boring and at the end I slowed down because there was a truck ahead. But I think I do OK for an Element.

Nice. I hope the 4wd kicks in like crazy on Tuesday for me. What car was chasing you with that intake? Civic?

Also, I'm on my phone. What post number is this?

@tezgm99 I'm doing a couple red bull races for cash so hurry up!
 
I'm still at least half an hour away from getting on the PS3.
 
I'll be here. Crap what post is this?
 
yours was post 3594. Mine is 3595.

The car was an Acura NSX with a few modifications.
 
Thank you sir. This is post 3596
 
Online now.
 
It is. In real life the only wayto make the element go around a turn is to floor it. So I have to be on the gas from the beginning of the turn. I have not driven a car less inclined to drive fast.

Now why are we counting down.... ;)
