This sounds like an awesome idea. Any ideas on time?
Not much interest from the community yet.

I have made a minor change to the build. I will update the OP and post up when it's done. If you try the car out let me know what you think.

Send me a PM if you'd like to try the car out in a lobby. I'm one the East Coast US.
 
I am interested if you want to run a few test sessions between now and the start of the Cup Classic. I am also in EST if that helps determining a good time.
 
Okay folks. How do weekend mornings sound?

9am EST on a Saturday? My work schedule is about to change big time but I am pretty sure I will be able to maintain that.

If anyone is around tonight I can set up a lobby. Also, send me a Friend request when you get a chance. This way we are good to go once things get rolling.
 
Hey All!

The vehicle build is updated in the OP. Just click on the spoiler tab to see the info.

All I really did was get rid of the "Ballast". I found that it affects the Performance Points and once I tested without Ballast I found the car handled in a way that was just as manageable. It should be noted that Tuning will be allowed. I find it best to tweak the Fully Adjustable Differential to get the car to your liking.

How do you all feel about Starting some testing in a lobby on Tuesday, February 21st 2023 at 7:30 pm Eastern (US)?

19:30 eastern is too late for me, the first time you proposed was better.
 
I recently posted this race replay to YT. It's a 4 lap custom Race against the AI at Le Mans. I have over 20 of this cars in my garage so it's a full field with the Boost set to "weak". Check it out:

Good run, a few minutes faster than I could achieve. The swing of the car keeps throwing me off.

Do you mean the Oversteer? Stiffen the front anti-roll bar 1 click and try to Trail brake. TCS will be allowed. I have mine set to 1. This mainly helps during corner exit but sometimes on corner entry when carrying too much speed.

Let me know if you'd like to get my settings.

No I am working around the rear end letting go (a little more than I am used to). I am playing around with brake bias and also use TCS. I have not really played much with tuning but will probably start playing with that soon.

I am putting my replay online soon as soon as I can get it put up on you tube. I will also put it online under the shared names, "tpc", "porsche", "carreracup".

Any comments or suggestions are always welcome.

Edit: Video up on YT.

Tuning is allowed. However, the build is specific. Check the Spoiler tab for the specifics.
Ok. I've already built the car and driven it on the base setup. I was just wondering if you were going to mandate a specific tune for the races. Looks like I have some fine tuning to do!
