A-spec Expert Level British Lightweight: Special Stage Route 5

[UltimateLurker]

I knew I shouldn't have posted that time. lol

 

[coryclifford]

I'll start with this.

 

[UltimateLurker]

You go right ahead, that time I posted was as good as it's going to get. I feel like the trans is holding me back, but I tried your trans and it was even worse.

 

[coryclifford]

It's a great time you got. 👍

I'm still using the same car. Oh wait, I put the front roll bar to 2. Oh, also super smashed a wall at the end and practically came to a standstill so I know a 54 is out there.

Cheers yo. 👍

 

[Draggon]

How about just after the tight left?
Time to dig in for a 55 time now.

Nice work!

Just remember @UltimateLurker & @coryclifford this is not a Time Trial, it is called an achievement for Wining the race .

Every race is a time-trial/try-for-one-lap-magic for me, if I like the track and the car. To me, winning isn't coming in first, it's doing my best, even if I end up last.

I purchased this car in 1968 and I am happy that I finally got a chance to use it. My recommendation is to add as much HP as you can and less weight reduction. I can give you my tune if anybody is interested. Lotus Europa S.2. 1968.Tune by me. Cockpit race. P1 Caterham Seven. P2 Lotus Elise Sport. P3 Lotus Elise 111R. Fast lap 1:34.548. Winning margin 03.261. Pass for the win on lap 5 at the Circus.

Yes would be grateful for tune supply.

 

[coryclifford]

@skeagracing please tell me you still have the car.

 

[skeagracing]

@skeagracing please tell me you still have the car.

I sold it 1969. I wish I still had it but needed the money to purchase the Lotus 47GT in 1969 and later sold that to purchase my 1973 Porsche RSR to keep competitive in the SCCA.

Thanks @skeagracing . Will buy the car if I don't yet have it and apply the tune. Cheers.

Please check out my hands positionings during cornering in the video as you will see that in all the corners I add and subtract steering input to keep the Europa from power- over- steering in the corners.

 

[Draggon]

The Spitfire can do it too, if the Caterham is the rabbit. Anyone tried the Vauxhall VX220? I'm sure the Vectra will do it but I'm having difficulty getting a radical enough tune to make it turn without losing traction. I'm going to try @skeagracing 's Europa.

@Draggon Bravo, super great job!!

 

[DisabledRacer]

The 497 PP, MG TF160 '03 can win against a Rocket-less field. In my opinion, this car handles great on this course, even with my crappy tune. Maybe one of you can beat the legendary, Mr. Papp and his Rocket with the MG TF160?

 

[GTRufus]

Well, it was a close call with the Rocket... when the Rocket is the Rabbit..

 

[openupyreyes]

I liked the Evora for this race. Nice balance of power and handling.

The TF-160 absolutely destroys the Fireblade. My winning time was just under 8:16. It looks like the Rocket runs the race in the 8:14 to 8:16 range. Papp is the only problem now, he's just run off and hid. I can't get a race with him in it.

I smacked the wall hard twice early on. They obviously compensated.

Help! If the Rocket is in the race I am still 30 seconds behind lap 2, so what car can I use that beats the Rocket? I am using the Rocket also and still that far behind.

Use this tune here Light Car Company Rocket' 07 and once you have put the tune on the car, change the power limiter to 89.2% to get it up to 520PP, credit goes to @TheInfamousJEW6 for a outstanding tune .

Awesome, will do when I get home.

The McClaren is easy too, read back through the thread for some ideas on tuning it. I made a tune for the Lotus Esprit V8 02 that's a beast and can destroy the Rocket. @McClarenDesign posted a vid a page back. Watch how he attacks the corners and slides around them. Pushing the car hard like that is a key to this event.

Thanks and thanks for naming the car so i dont have to figure it out based on a 3 letter acronym. LOL

Two other good tunes for the Rocket at 520 PP. Thank me later.

Stock Rocket with 198 kg ballast at position 0 and Stage 3 engine. Runs out of gear on the long straight but otherwise a pretty sweet ride.

And that one.

I have tried this tune it is very tail happy, I think this car would be good it you could get the oversteer out of it a bit.
