Well, I'm too young to have heard of it…yet.

Too young?
It's just a (very common) shortcut.

But I imagine chinese is veeeeeerrryyyy different.

Dr. Slump are you using mid-range turbo for your Samba? We can try it this weekend if you're about

He said he's using the High RPM turbo.

Sorry I missed the post. I'm using Mid-range for TGTT - High range would definitely win SS7 tho...

Cheers mate, I've spent a long time draggin so I've had plenty of practice!

Ok, one question. Does the car's performance get affected by how many runs it has done before you quit to the room's main screen? Because I've noticed, particularly with my Veyron, that with every run I make, its performance- especially the launch- changes ever so slightly. The peak of its performance is on the 3rd (or was it 5th…hmm&#8230

run, where my time in the tunnel was down to just over 30 seconds (I think) as opposed to 32 seconds. Is this to do with the tyres warming up and then gradually wearing out?

If tyre wear is on it can make a difference to launches etc. Light blue tyres generally are better than dark blue as well - think it makes a minute difference but shouldn't be a whole 2 seconds!

It was off, so it can't be that. Though I do remember looking at the tyres at launch. I do remember the 3rd run having no tyre smoke at all when the 1st, 4th and 5th all had some level of smoke from the rears. I'll have to do that run again to get a quick 'analysis' of it. And don't take my word for it! I was just estimating. I'm no human stopwatch

Edit: I stand corrected.
1st run: Dark blue, Red, white, pale blue.
2nd run: Dark blue, white, pale blue.
3rd run: Not-as-dark blue, red, white, pale blue

So I think it's the second run that can get the cleanest launch…though with a hooligan like me, the burnouts and donuts I do to turn around could be a cause for the tyre wear inconsistencies…

Tire wear?
It's just the temperatur of your tires, like IRL. Warm tires have more grip.

^ Agree. Color has nothing to do with the tires life. In the tires display the tires are setup like a life bar and will decease over time.

Ok ppl, can we add a few more obnoxious ***** to the blacklist? Again on Indy - seems to be the home of rude ego morons. You get vote-kicked if you don't constantly ghost for them, lol. Slave-tastic. Forget about trying to race!
