BST V8 Challenge S3 | COMPLETED

[Milldrum]

Im down to 137.8s with the great ones system and regular low 138s still killing tyres on the Lexus however.

I'm down to 1:40.2.

Wow, this thread gets busy when I'm asleep. Do you all wait until you can hear me snoozing and then hit GTPlanet? It takes me an hour to catch up with all that's happened.

My car is a solid performer. It has skinny wheels, so if it snows, I'm going to win by a mile.

I turned the sub woofer up and enjoyed the rumble.

 

[Hancock]

Wow nice Hanc half an Alien.

I wish mate, I've raced with some of these aliens at pure. if I can get within 1 second of them I'm very happy, but these guys are just too quick for me!!

Cant believe how much interest you got this season, 2 divisions and both looking full... Top job!

Thanks bud has gone kinda mad in the last couple of days in more ways than one and we have our own alien now it seems Hope to god your connection holds up has it been better in the pure series?

I think I figured out these cars and their relative strengths/weaknesses.

They are all understeer dogs. A good way to combat understeer is to move the center of gravity back (you should all put your ballast at the very rear). The car that has the most weight on the rear axel will generally handle better. Looking at the cars I have, they have the following weight distribution with the ballast all back.

Camaro: 43/57
Vette: 44/56
Masserati: 44/56
BMW: 47/53
Jag: 52/48
Dodge: 56/44

This is a good order in how the car handle.

The Camaro is very fast in the last sector, but it has low top speed. Still it might be the quickest at Fuji even if I was 0.3s slower than the Vette (only did 5 laps). This will be the best car on twisty tracks, but struggle at Monza

The Vette is a great allrounder. Good on everything

The Masserati has great potential, but is a bit trickier to drive and a little slower than the Vette overall.

My BMW is not broken in and I cannot get full HP. Very similar pace as the Vette though, and I think these two cars are the best cars overall.

I sorted out the Jag setup a bit. I think its about the same as the Masserati in total. The Masserati corners a little better, but the Jag has faster straight line speed.

The Dodge is the slowest car. Its not a complete dog, but the other cars handles better. And bar the Camaro, the Dodge is the slowest in a straight line.

Overall, I don't think the rating of the cars are all that bad. I', going to take the challange and use the Dodge for the competition.

Nope I Only did two races and Dc'd in both which is why I left in the end. Will try this port forwarding tomorrow and i will try using a new lead to router.

Anyone decided on what tyres theyre using for endurance race?

My plan was to tyre test today mate but there were a few spanners thrown in the works unfortunately.

No Lexus findings as yet? Probably just aswell would only embarrass me/us further lol. All very interesting pretty sure me and gedi will bottle trying another series think were deffo lacking in the talent departments.

Totally agree with you about Camaro, it turns in well but when you put foot down it just pushes front end out, I've lowered rear and used toe out on rear to try and improve things. I Also find by stiffening front or softening back spring rate helps get rid of understeer.
