I don't stand a chance racing the CHIC Race with you guys when I did the lap my gears were set exactly for the top of my power band = lower top speed so sets me at a disadvantage just to let you know Bruce:tup:
All good mate, after all this CHIC is an experiment. We all will pick up some tips for next time. When we go to the other tracks you will be aloud to change your final gear.

@bjl23 i won ,i i did it first :lol: :lol:

While this happens i try again the Monaco with the Opel just to get the chance to add a bit more " pain" to my flying former teammate Paddy .
Unfortunately when i hit the button to rec didn't start and only write 6 sec. when i hit it back to close it :banghead:
Nevermind ill upload the lap vid just between me and him :D

Noel don't worry ,is mater of time to get the feeling of the car and do it.
Just didn't take it seriously till now and since i pass the mission of " hate " for me ill start the school lesson.
Its a chance to see if any ghosts are moving at night. :cheers:

Strongly suggest you see the video that I posted on YouTube. I won this race the first time I ran it even without the improvements that I just mentioned to make the the Lotus 111S better. I you want you can talk to me in private and I can give you more info that will help you.
 
Invalid lap cause didn't save the replay properly :banghead:


Noel just start school lesson , am in good way and just raze ballast to 90kg.
Quite funny that when you pass the front runners suddenly your mirror fill whit lights in every straight that want to kill you ,also grip going lower due to the night and is almost impossible to avoid contacts at your back from the two following cars that simply just want to destroy you

I will post a video that will show all of that. Do not worry about getting hit in the back as that is "not your problem" and I will not grade any of that good buddy:lol:. I had 3 at one time taking turns to wipe me out in this video:lol:. I did pass for the win on lap 2 but they did pass me a couple of times for a nano second but they could not keep the pass or make it stick:cheers:. When you see this video you will know what to do promise.

I watch your vid ( now its gon ) and when i pass the leader with 2.5 sec gap i said ok lets finish it.....
No way , was like running on Nos :lol:
I think am ok , without the ballast ther wasn't a way to run that lotus with such a power.
Am even capable to brake on turns now 💡


@bjl23 You are quite fast at no tune , playing before couple of days i was on 49- 50 around.
This fairy understeer a lot for my taste .


Have a nice weekend guys and hope our missing friend Barnavas to be soon with us.

The video is gone as I am posting a new video of the race. Keep the ballast as will help you to keep the rear stable 72/-50. That is just for me but do what you think is best for you. The video will be up shortly.
Barnabas is home from the Hospital and I will call him at 11:30 this morning EST.

It does understeer a bit, I found that braking a little early helped and you really need to be perfect though the S's. So much time lost or gained there.

Great battle with the mclaren and Aston Martin Noel 👍

Speed racer final update


No more to give on this one and hope to be enough to " scare" Paddy :confused:

@bjl23 i think you're right , i put more brakes at the rear and brake earlier than usual but still can't find the sweet spot for this heavy fairy .
My best till now was at 47s in a race that myfirst lap was the quickest of 3 :banghead:
Its heavy enough and the inertia push it out of the right line if you push it on late braking.

Yesterday finally i set up mine lotus Noel and hope to finish it today .
Did some race tests with FXX ( which almost take off my rear bumper ) and the MCLAREN with one Labo which except mine they took of their bumpers :lol: back and front.
The good news is that i was over 350 miles and i was struggling at power since needed to change oil which realy help me not to be a pure relative at straights .

Good morning from a rainy weather here .

Absolutely mate, I found its best to go a bit slower around 2nd corner so you set up the perfect line though the S bend. Also because the car has a reasonable amount of power and I have TC on 0 I can use the power to steer the car around the tighter corners.
 
I also am on TC 0 with the fairy .
Since am done with school today morning ( i might try it again on the week ) i try to give a go to the NSX without prepares ,free runs etc.

There is room for improvement but somehow i skrew up heavily or loosing much time with traffic.
Change 3 different line ups and i think the ones which are faster are more helpful if you can manage to take the last turn right :banghead: :banghead: to take sleepstreming advantage.
I try some two lap stints and best first was high 20 mid 21s while. the second was from 14- 11 very high.
Its matter of traffic ,right sleepstreming and for me one more : not faqed up when i see that am in good way for a good result.
Deffinetly need " warm" fingers and since my teammate is at the same power band with me i have hopes for good team effort.
Tinkerbells time of course is out of reach .

The traffic is a killer especially on the last corner, I'm the same if I'm lapping good time I always manage to stuff up the last lap.

On the last lap is when you never change the rhythm that you are in and do not start dive bombing the passes on other race cars or you will lose the race on the last lap. Stay as cool as on the first lap:cheers:. Barnabas has the same issues with this.

Very nice boss ,you are in good way .
Try to find a quick line up or a slower one ( what suits you best ) and study the passing points.
At a quick field you can gain sleepstreming advantage taking thel lead at 3rd lap ,at the slower at 2nd lap.
One is certain ,from your mate you will be quicker or at least you can since he put him selfi in a huge power handicap .

Tinkerbell no need to change something at your NSX ,nobody ask for it , we just play we don't compete for the crown of the world .
Have a cool day guys .
