◆ SNAIL [THE LOBANARO LOUNGE] No longer runningPS4

[Rednose58]

Ok , ok, I'll change my handle to Redneck58....

Only one problem.... though not a problem at all..... my granddaughter (and her mother and father....) is visiting for a few days. So I will not be racing on Sunday night or Monday night. Can we redo this one next Thursday?

I threw the Bronco around the track last night and got into the mid 1:47's Looks like you have to throw her around like a rally car if you are going to do fast time.

Promise me you will have a blast!

 

[CB_racer]

Nice. I'll drive whatever the freak you put in front of me, but yeah, the jeep is sexier. Too bad PCars doesn't have a '99 RAV.
For a couple of BoBs. you're good people. Rednecks, but good people...

I'm with you @GTLehman, part of the fun is the challenge to adapt to different cars.

 

[2pfspiff]

I'm good for what ever you put in front of me.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

I’ll have to give this bronco a shot... sounds fun!

 

[aerolite]

And a reminder we are driving both.

 

[davidt33]

So long as we doe spoil it with rain.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

Need to start paying attention to the thread more... lol

David, the rain is a good thing! The ultimate equalizer, I don’t understand why folks have a hard time with the wet. It’s just a matter of being smooth, finding where the grip is, (usually OFF the racing line) and softening the cars setup a bit. I think we should do every race in the rain

Hey big cheese head Aero. Still not quite understanding the math in converting a session based on time duration to approx laps conversion. *shame*.
This taken from the previous example:
30 min race length = 1800 seconds (Ok I understand this. 30 mins X 60 secs per min (aka 30x60) = 1800 total secs)
Avg lap time of 2:20.xxx = 140 seconds<---(Now this is where it gets confusing for me. How'd you end up with 140 secs from avg lap time of 2:20.xxx? What math?)
1800/140 = 12.857 So I round off to closest even lap number, so 12 laps

*Please don't hurt me*

 

[SGETI]

Avg lap time of 2:20.xxx = 140 seconds<---(Now this is where it gets confusing for me. How'd you end up with 140 secs from avg lap time of 2:20.xxx? What math?)

I had the same question some time ago.

First thought would be 2:20 = 220 seconds. wrong

In one minute there are 60 seconds, NOT 100.

2:20 lap time converted to seconds.
so 1 min = 60 seconds,
2 min. = 120 seconds,
then we have .20 seconds,
for a total of 140 seconds

Another example. take a lap time of 1:45,
1 min = 60 seconds, then add the remaining seconds, 45 = 105seconds total lap time

hope this helped.

Thanks @SGETI. That sure helped a lot. I now understand. Cheers.

.....*knock knock*

.....Is it only me or is this jeep and pickup like driving tanks?

They are indeed. I think the hot setup is to use the 4x4capabilities and cut the track.

 

[davidt33]

I think the fastest you can go is 20mph.

Gonna be a long night.

I'd give just about anything to be able to race those "tanks" this Monday. Perspective, my friend.

 

[aerolite]

Glad SGETI was able to clear up the math confusion for you David, I realize it is borderline metric calculus and I never expected all to get it

They are indeed. I think the hot setup is to use the 4x4capabilities and cut the track.

We have tried an idea of driving around a track having to stay off the pavement, Road America is good for that, it was fun, Bronco would be good.

Gonna be a long night.

Have you noticed there is a "Circuit" tune for the Bronco?
One more whine out of you and you will be driving the Agajanian Watson Roadster all night!

Yeah saw that "Circuit" tune amongst the defaults and was wondering bout that if should choose or not. That's for the heads up cheese head. You does come in handy at times.

 

[SGETI]

Are we considering driving the course in the opposite direction? 👍:idea:

I think these beasts will have enough torque to climb the cork screw.

 

[aerolite]

Breaking away from cars for a post.
Today marks 40 years since one of the greatest ever comebacks in history.
Mike “the bike” Hailwood at the TT on the Ducati.

The real deal at Ducati race museum in Bologna, Italy. Holding the same bars as Hailwood was pretty emotional.

How about No.

There is an update 3gb. Posted it on the SRM thread instead like a tool.
More Le mans nonsense got me confused.

Think it's 1 GB and just for PC users thus far.

i will join ASAP, but if that update shows up, then I will be stuck getting it to DL.

Nice Duc! Get it for your b-day?

 

[aerolite]

Nice Duc! Get it for your b-day?

Ha....I wish......wouldn't even want to guess what that is worth. Belongs to a collector in the US and it's on loan to the museum. I do have a friend who has a Hailwood replica but he still won't part with it.....yet!!

@Rednose58 You still out for tonight?
