Fellas would anyone oppose the Jaguar receiving the Supercharger option? Im asking so It doesn't sound like sour grapes but watching the replays the things honestly dying a death against everything in a straight line.:indiff:
 


Fellas I gotta go public with this because either im dumb too soft stupid or all 3. Can anyone tell me that these two don't give as good as they get. :crazy::confused:
 
Personally I don't think the M3 or jag need a boost, i was 2tenths slower in the m3 compared to mas, but i've put more time into the mas.. Also I think the jag and M3 are the easiest cars to drive, which helps massively in feature race... But if you want to stick a supercharger on it I won't complain.

That's fair comment Hanc I will say practically everything else has been tweaked;). Gedi's Viper was noticeably better with the addition of the supercharger not unreasonably by any means. Just enough to make a little difference when we hit the straight stuff so you cant blame me for trying. :)

Looks like normal lap 1 shenanigans. But if it goes on ... well.
A gap opened up for me so I took it as I had overspeed but the gap closed and led to my Denise.
S@#$ happens

Interesting way of looking at it, but you could say my lack of pace cost you the place :lol:

You were driving to your tyres abilities at the time. As the person trying to get by it is up to me to make the correct decision when and where to pass cleanly, not ram you then go merrily on my way. Braking has always been one of my many weak points, I have heavier springs in my brake pedal and I sometimes forget to press as hard late on in the race. :dunce:

Worth reading ^💡
 
The majority of times during a tyre wear race the braking areas get longer and longer. This isnt always the case for all corners and is driver specific. Its hard to make yourself hit the brake pedal earlier than you did perhaps 2 laps earlier as we all want to be as fast as possible round the lap but its something you have to build into your race & setup. It is going to happen! Egg sucking lesson over! :)
 
well I've just seen the video. I know what I would do, but i'm not going to go into it, let's not ruin the fun here. But there's touring car racing and then there's ToCA. But unfortunately, that wasn't racing, come on lads. If there's heat between you, clear it up between yourselves, not on track where others can get affected. Think it was sy and r35 you nearly took off, which is pretty unfair really. Come on guys, we're here for the fun 👍.

Worst night then usual for me. Knew i'd be slow but I somehow lost 0.5 of my qualy and race pace. Start of race 1 there was a spin and someone took my teamie off grrrr. But I just spent that race trying new lines, techniques etc, but didn't work XD. Race 2, I had a good start but still got outrun by a few peole, but held my 2nd into the first corner. I then ran in 5th for a bit, and thought it was ok, then kept falling back. Ran wide at the final hairpin after getting on the grass and locked up. Last, again. Then I got DC :banghead:. It's usually near the end of stints I do well. I spend the race looking after tyres so I still have rubber leftand make up a bit of time.

I don't see no reason the jagwaaaar can't have the blower. BMW, well, it's a nice handling car, slow on the straight. only issue I have with it is it's stuck on a 50/50 weight distribution. (and the driver). Good races though guys, sorry if I hel you up, tried to cause as little problems when you had me lol.

50 / 50 weight is a good thing though

I usually like the rear to step out. In BTCC I wasn't on the same par as you but at least I could challenge. The Nissan was a car I could get the rear to slide. With these cars, due to the power, you do that and it's gone, i'm having to change my driving style, which is difficult for me.

With the lack of torque the bmw is a bit more rear stable compared to the Lexus

You should try less rear df , Ive noticed the turn in is a lot better with less rear aero

I was surprised a bit, didn't expect that contact level. Hopefully a pure one-off. And I can't blame that for me throwing away 8th :sick:
