Nope.. Just be glad Boom didn't state 800Bhp and then Sim tires

 

[DSMAZDAGTR]

ooo... Sims.... What fun this will be...... Will be interesting to see this race...

Hmm... damn.... Doesn't say no traction control or asm... That would make it even more fun.. Oh well...

 

[Small_Fryz]

what is the weight of a car that has 350hp and has 3.0 p/w?

 

[DSMAZDAGTR]

1050kg

 

[Small_Fryz]

1050kg hehe

 

[Small_Fryz]

this will be fun.

 

[Flerbizky]

Hmmm.. Looks like everybody is gonna be aiming for the 350Bhp. The long uphill part will kill any car with less that max allowed Bhp... Looks like the Ruf is up for another spin..

 

[Kent]

Dude, there is so much to say about sims, but Im off of that.

I'm gonna put down something for the week, but I don't know what. Something fun I hope

I also want to stress... there better be the same sort of turn out for week 37 as there was week 36.

Till I have something more to say...

 

[miata13B]

Ah, the joys of Sims. The Corkscrew is going to make a lot of car panel repair shops and paint shops happy this week



I see a world of cars to use for this one too now. I'll tell you this. There are a number of overlooked cars for this event that might surprise people

 

[boombexus]

Ok, I'll get the ball rollin here.

P/W = 3.429
342HP still need to play with this a bit.

T1: 24.706
T2: 46.166
T3: 1.08.925

 

[IDAFC21]

hmm, thanks for givin me a target boom. off i go to try a lucky car

 

[kragbees]

Please clear something up for me ...

eg. The Mine's Lancer Evo VI GSR, is it a race car ? Because it has adjustable rear downforce ? Or not ?

What is classified as a Race car ? Or tuner car ?

Thanks

 

[miata13B]

It would not matter about the Mine's for the fact it has 415hp stock which rules it out. . .

 

[kragbees]

I was just using an example, is a car with adj. rear downforce a race car or not ?

No, if a car has adjustable rear downforce, that doesn't make it a race car. A race car is usually a car with a number on it.

This looks like a mission for the GT40 Road car.

 

[kragbees]

Cool thanks Mr. Boom

Wish I could tell ya. When you find out let me know. I think that this will be one of the first times I've raced on sim tires so It'll be a learning experience for me as well.
