http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=174200

Those of you with + then a number next to your name take that number and add that % of wieght to your car so +3 equals add 3% weight

I ran out of time to finish points this morning so i will finish them around 4 pm EST

So the fastest guy in the first race gets 3% more power for the next race? So he wins that too, and then gets even more power? He'll be unstoppable.
 
I think he means weight +/- n (which technically makes it a penalties system, not a rewards system!)

Do you also mean that the driver who qualifies in 1st gets +3 weight for the race and then it's reset for the next round?

Also, I think whatever tires you choose on the F1 they always come out as RS... Could be wrong, can anyone confirm?

Good news about arcade mode though! 👍

EDIT: one last thing - you don't mean that TCS is compulsory do you? Just that ASM is not allowed?

as far as the wieght goes its where you finish in the race that gives you the extra(or less) wieght thta carries on for the next round but i will keep track and put it in each thread who adds/losees wieght
and by tcs only im mean asm is not allowed you dont have to use tcs if you dont want
 
Yay! Arcade mode wins! And it is way easier to do the penalty system too for the fast guys :sly: cool beans, see ya at the qualy's boys. And I'm assuming the AI level is open? So just to stray out any cheating am I also to assume that we automatically put our weight down to the minimum as it cant be verified in the replays and just keep our hp at 0% for the qualies? If I recall correctly, it doesnt make any difference what tire you choose to race in the F1 they all wear at the same level, I just ran a set on RSS's and I could pit on lap 7 and call it good for the race, then I ran a race on RSH's and got the same lap times.

EDIT: Well just incase racefan wants us to keep the weight at 0 I ran a qualifier time at both weights, so whichever he decides will work for me. I'll try and submit my qualifing time in soon.

Okay so I *think* I'm done qualifying for this week feel pretty good after about an hour's worth of work, here are some splits for the other half of Team Toyota 👍 to chase:

Fully Stock (+0% HP, -0%Weight) Top Speed 340:
T1 - :38.982
T2 - 1:12.098

Now as far as putting 12 consistent laps together....hehehe, we shall see about that one.

jump_ace
 
Difficulty is set at zero.. correct?

Oh, and what about AI bumping?
 
0 Weight, so I guess we are on the honor system then? Its just that there is actually no way to monitor that, but 0/0 it is :) With the time penalty on, you will get a 10 second penalty for bumping the AI too hard, you can graze them and rub them but if its too much you will get a penalty where you cant use the gas for 10 seconds, pretty cool I'd say.

Well I couldn't stay away and I managed another .6 off my lap time but I really shanked the beginning double rights...argh! Time in ()'s is my goal and I know I should get there. Top Speed is 330 right now and I'm losing some time on the straights but its nice takin the tight turns in 4th with no tcs and not having ANY wheelspin :D

T1 - :38.783 (38.4xx)
T2 - 1:11.377 (1:10.9xx)

EDIT - UGH! I think I'm done, I truly shanked the intro turn WAY bad and the rest of the lap is perfection, D'OH! I've been up by .4 with 340 but because of the hairpin and 3rd gear I lose it and can only just catch up at the end (.067 behind). But its good practice for the race, I guess I'll stay with losing about .3 total between the front and back straights as the hairpin makes or brakes the lap for me. Hey racefan, when do we have to submit our qualies so we can see who needs the weight, thx for keepin an eye on the thread too!

jump_ace
 
Great times there! 👍

I got:
39.048
1'11.710
(stock settings, no TCS)

Might be able to improve a bit though - I'm on 340km/h top speed.

I checked - no matter what tyres you select they always show up in the replay as RM/RM...

Oh, and thanks for being around to respond to questions racefan :cheers:
 
Sweet, I'll get to this later tonight. For now I have History work to do.:grumpy:
EDIT: Ugh, on the 2nd corner someone always pulls out infront of my going far too slow and I get a 10 second penalty! I'm using RSH and they're using RSS and yet they're still extremely slow. (Race setting is 1)
 
Since I'm a total rookie to the arcade mode, what do you mean by adding wieght or horsepower, I suppose once I get to it I can try and figure it out. Also, El Jarretto, don't worry, I can race, I just have no idea what the other crap is.
 
In response to the last 2 posts, take the first turn a little wide and you will come up on the rear of 2nd place, feel free to slow down a little and stay calm, he will cut in and meet the 3rd place car (for me 2nd place is a blue on and 3rd is red and 1st is orange on setting 1 difficulty) so let him cut in and you can take the exit a little wide and catch up to the orange car and pass him shortly thereafter. As far as adding or subtracting horsepower, that is handled in the settings area that has the red toolbox that is along the bottom of the screen once you see the car line up for the race. Go in there and you can adjust your hp and weight along with your gear ratio.

But am I correct in thinking we need to wait on running our final run until after we do the qualies, or does the penalty come into affect after the first race and you have to do the next qualy and race with the +/- hp? Just wanna dbl check.

jump_ace
 
the peanalties are used after the quali and race for round 1 are done on 0/0 then well go on from there if you win for round 2 you will add 3% wieght to your car and so on

Another way is to brake as late as possible on the inside of the first part of turn 1 to pass the first 3 cars (you may have to take a wee bit of grass to avoid AI contact :D) then get the last 2 on the outside of the second part of turn 1, this way you have the lead by the exit of the first corner :sly:

t1:38.667

max speed:360 with tcs

edit:can we touch the a1 car?????:)
 
T1 0'38.900
T2 1'11.957

Could sure use some suspension adjustments. My expensive pit crue just stands there hopelessly. :irked:

The way I take it, you can but be carefull you can get penilized if you hit them to hard.
 
start with 2nd gear much faster than 1st:crazy: 👍
edit:3rd is better than 2nd and you don't have to do any speacil just pass every car at straght:tup:
 
Yikes, looks like we have some good times here sausages, perhaps I should take a lap with tcs on and see how the times go, eh? Good comp so far! :)

EDIT: Well I tried tcs on...hahahaha!!!! What a joke its so much slower (imo), now I remember why I dont use it...lolz. I did go back to no tcs tho and got my goal time for the qualies. Top Speed still 330:

T1 - :38.280
T2 - 1:11.027 (I did want a 1:10.9 but by the end I was .2 or so under my goal, bonus!)

Jerome
 
good job jump_ace:tup:
imo i think tcs is easier to control(i know without tcs is fastest)but the car feel very nervous and unstable:nervous:
t1:38.238
t2:1.11.067:)
 
if anyone still wants to join you must come to me with a team mate that you will both enter and you can have BMW or one of the other unlisted teams and YIN to answer your question about the AI try to avoid it but we all know how the AI drives like idiots so it will be accepted but if you do it to hard you will be limited to 50KPH for 10seconds

Ruh Roh! Excellent splits if I do say so myself. Its kinda strange for me how the car handles with tcs on, I keep drifting the car around the first set of dbl rights and the double lefts before 130R, its fun dont get me wrong, but its not fun when my ghost blows by me...lol. So do we just submit our qualy and race time on the same day then?

Greats splits guys, in particular yours YIN, I wouldnt have thunk anyone could go that fast with TCS on, great job 👍 Were you using TCS in my Le Sarthe Time Attack aswell? Just curious.
Click to expand...

thanks:D yes,i usually with tcs on at acrade mode. with tcs is easier to control,i hate wheelspin i know without tcs is faster,but the car will become unstable at low speed turn(espeailly at casio and dunlop turn)
