Gave the M5 another run at the new weight. It's .2 slower than before round Suzuka East, though still .3 ahead of the next fastest car.

There you go @buck1......no real straight though @DrifterJoe ?

Top speeds ranged from 160 to 165mph there depending on the car. The M5 got 160mph. I use that track for testing handling and comparing setups.

I can only do 41s

So race pace the rest of us stand a chance.

@Roflwaffle Really.

@DrifterJoe Any Tokyo times?

Yep, will be closer on a more balanced track.

Only 2 cars hit above 162mph. Everything else was 160-162. I got 163 in the Z06, and 165 in the Lexus.

Oil change

DrifterJoe · Jul 13, 2014

No Tokyo times yet JB. Last night was my first proper test and I just wanted to sort out setups and see the characteristics of each car.

Flat floor or oil change?

No worries teamy.

Done oil change. Does flat floor increase or lower pp?

It increases PP.

Must increase if anything.

Roflwaffle · Jul 13, 2014

Well I'm down on PP, have the right weight and power and a flat floor so I dunno. :confused:

Downforce is at max?

@DrifterJoe does shifting all the weight to the rear increase PP a bit?

Weight balance does affect pp, yes.

Downforce doesn't alter pp and I've already got ballast to the rear.

Beats me then i'll have a look at mine maybe iv'e got the PP wrong. :guilty:

Does it change if you move the ballast back to the middle?
@V8-Johnboy your specs are correct. I hit the right figures when I specced my cars last night

Roflwaffle · Jul 13, 2014

DrifterJoe
Does it change if you move the ballast back to the middle?

No, but it goes down 1pp when its at -29.

To confirm yep 591PP max have you missed a part? :confused:

Well there's no specific parts in the OP, its just get your car to the right power and weight. I've tried various combinations but no change.

Should be all parts other than the supercharger and nitrous.

Yes exactly have you fitted all the upgrades was my point

Roflwaffle · Jul 13, 2014

So I'm meant to add all parts (barring Supercharger and Nos) then limit the power a lot? Okey dokey.

In theory yes but how you get there is entirely down to you. I know some in the past have fitted the minimum and used as little slider as possible.

I never asked which car you are in, but the pp sounds like the Jag. So, yes. All parts other than the supercharger and nitrous, and then add ballast and limit power.
