That Genesis is very nice to drive, though sometimes you wish it doesn't spin so suddenly, one blink and you're heading for the barriers, however when it all hooks up I'm pretty happy with the 47.6 round the Indy circuit and 1:31.7 round the GP track.

Hyundai / Nissan to be nerfed (only a little bit for the Hyundai) and we are almost 100% done with specs.
 
Blue, Grey, Black and White cars on the grid. Bloody hell you lot, you have amazing colour depth and imagination. :sly:

Called testing colours yo (except for RPM and ECM ;) )

Nissan and Hyundai have been 99% done, waiting for final green light. To be expected by end of week:

~Full final car specs.
~Race dates
~Updated entry
~Possible additional track information.

Fine then, i'm doing this:

Top speeds in km/h from Spa on Kemmel straight braking into Les Combes:

BMW 120d (348hp): 250
Ford Focus (341hp): 241
Honda Civic (342hp): 244
Hyundai Genesis (340hp): 242
Nissan Skyline (330hp): 247
Peugeot RCZ (360hp): 254
Range Rover (350hp): 239
Renault Megane (355hp): 247

Conclusions: BMW and especially RCZ are scary fast in a straight line. I think that it would be good to bring all cars inside of 10km/h, especially since the RCZ is not the fastest through Eau Rouge and still is the fastest by a mile at the end of the straight. The BMW with wr-stage 2 has a lot of potential now, but it's difficult to drive consistently fast. The Range Rover and the Focus might deserve a very mild boost. It's easier done for the Evoque, because it's using PL already. The Focus would require an additional part, which might boost it too much already. So, bearing in mind that Furi is in one (as far as I remember), don't overdo it!!! :sly:

Like Snow said, that's easy with the Evoque as you only need to adjust the PL, but with the Focus you need to add another part to raise its BHP...

I've tried out installing some parts and PL at 350 BHP to check the new values (off-track only):

PL 95.4%, 488PP, 46 Torque (ECU);
PL 98.8%, 488PP, 46 Torque (Iso Exhaust Manifold);
PL 97.3%, 488PP, 45 Torque (Sports Catalytic Converter);
PL 95.2%, 489PP, 47 Torque (Intake Tuning).

Drive it the opposite to a petrol. Because all you're power comes from way down in the rev range, short shifting throws the back end out as you land right in the torque-band. If you keep high revs, i.e. a low gear, during the corner then shift up once you've straightened up it's a dream. Then shift at around 5000rpm on straights. 👍

That's probably the way to go. I won't be able to test in the next couple of days, but Yeratel already pointed out the possibilities for the Focus. I don't believe it matters much which part you put on since you can dial down the effects afterwards anyway, if need be. Just someone preferably not committed to driving one should see how much it gains in lap time. ;)

You can just add HP to the Focus, no need for additional parts.

Will open test room at 9.
