My Report for all cars at Daytona. I will list my feeling about the car and also show its best lap over a 6 lap race. and my theoretical lap which is all my best sectors added up for a perfect lap time.
All cars were tested with default settings, so brake balances were 5/5 unless stated otherwise. \
All the cars had their oil changes and engine were broken in.
I will list all parts added to the car as well.
I'll start with the DP class: from slowest to fastest
Toyota GT-One 565HP 970KG Racing softs front and back.
Best lap time- 1:34.851 3rd place
Best Sectors:
Sector 1 2nd Lap- 26.038 2nd place
Sector 2 4th Lap- 22.319 3rd place
Sector 3 4th Lap- 12.999 3rd place
Sector 4 5th Lap- 14.095 3rd place
Sector 5 6th Lap- 18.938 3rd place
Best theoretical Lap- 1:34.389 3rd place
No parts added only added Ballast and used the limiter to bring the HP down to 565. I set the transmission to top out on the front stretch which was 201MPH. this car was also twitchy on the brakes so I changed the balance to 5/4 to help that a little. over this car was very stable on corner exits and had a lot of maneuverability but is the slowest of the bunch.
My suggestions: I say give this car about 10 more Horsepower to 575HP so it can keep up with the competition. Maybe with some tuning I could maybe get a second out of it but I'm not a master tuner with LMP/DP type cars.
Peugeot 908 585HP 970KG Racing softs front and back
Best lap- 1:33.962 2nd place
Best Sectors:
Sector 1-26.046 2nd place
Sector 2-22.151 2nd place
Sector 3-12.881 1st place
Sector 4-13.937 2nd place
Sector 5-18.935 2nd place
Theoretical lap- 1:33.950 2nd place
Same as the GT-One I didn't have engine mods or turbos only added ballast and used the power limiter. I did have the brake balance at 5/4 and the transmission was set to hit 201 before hitting the red line. This car was one of the more difficult to drive due to its bottomless pit of low end torque. So i was being extra careful on the throttle on corner exits. This car could definitely gain well more then a second of maybe 2 with some decent tuning.
My suggestions:
Take the HP down to 575 as this car was not as forgivable as the Toyota or the Bentley but still damn fast on the straights.
Bentley Speed 8 570Hp 970KG Racing softs front and back
Best lap-1:33.814 1st place
Best Sectors:
Sector 1-26.019 1st place
Sector 2-22.027 1st place
Sector 3-12.946 2nd place
Sector 4-13.783 1st place
Sector 5-18.870 1st place
Theoretical best lap-1:33.645 1st place
This car was a joy to drive compared to the 908 but was much faster then the Toyota in every way. This car had no mods like its competitors but I left the Brake Balance at 5/5 this time. Transmission was set one click on the top speed to keep the car from redlining on the straights. The car felt the best with its default settings I doubt tuning could make it faster then it already is.
My suggestions: I say keep the Hp at 565 even tho its the fastest the 5 HP is going to put a very tiny dent in its peed but i expect the Toyota to be faster with the extra 10 HP keep it on par with this car. Maybe after tune this car maybe be the slowest behind the 908 but this car is the easiest to drive out of the DP which could help it gain overall speed with a consistent pace.
I'm going to take a quick break I will have the GT class report in about an hour or so.
itll probably happen to me too, are the races long?
