Welcome to the World Street Car Challenge Round 2


Round Specifics:
Round 2 will be held at Apricot Hill Raceway for a frantic 5 laps.
Arcade Mode -> Single Race -> Hard -> Apricot Hill
Times are due on Sunday, August 24th, on or before 11:59.59pm PST.

Series Rules

This 7 Race series will consist of minor to moderately modified street cars, which are modded to an even stature, battling it out with a small handicap system after every race. Referring to the finishing position of the last race, the racer will either recieve reward to use better tires, or may be taken away that right. In "No tire wear" races, the T1 tire is more slippery than the T8 tire. This is similar in concept to the Japan Touring Car Championship and SCCA Speed World Challenge balancing system. All cars have been tested before hand by me, and have been given mods to be very close to the same speeds on an average track. The idea is to make it fun for everyone and not have a Michael Schumacher of sorts, and it should make a tight points race at the end. It also makes it possible to use your favorite street car, and it's still possible to win even though it's not the fastest of all the cars in the game.

CARS

-Once you pick a car, you must keep that car for the remainder of the series. To pick a car, email me at lightningd001@yahoo.com , and I'll mail you back letting you know if it's ok, and what mods you can do to your car.
-Oil: IF you car is allowed an oil change, you can only do so when you purchase the car. You cannot change oil during the series.
-Practice is unlimited. It is your choice whether you use the actual race car, or purchase another car to practice with. However, if you practice with the actual race car, the mileage does affect your horsepower.
-The Actual race can be done as many times as you wish. However, the more you do it, the more mileage that is put on your car, and could hurt you in the long run. If you have a bad race, and want to reset the PS2, that's is OK also. When the race is over, and you are ready to submit times, the game must be saved and the race car must keep it's mileage, whatever it might be. You cannot race an entire series, with the odometer at 0 miles at the start of every race.
-Here are some examples of eligable cars.
-Civic Type R
-Integra Type R
-Accord Euro R
-RX-7 Type RZ
-Lancer EVO VII GSR
-Skyline GTR VSpec II

-206 S16
Other cars can be eligable if I verify it after you email me.

RULES

The normal stuff:
-2 wheels on the track at all times. Rumble strips count as the track. No bumping the AI cars or walls to where it makes it an advantage.
-Ghost racers, or racers who do not start from round one, will start with T4 tires. Series points will be awarded. If a racer skips a race, and then joins in again on a later round, he will start with T4 tires.

POINTS
1st - 24
2nd - 19
3rd - 15
4th - 11
5th - 8
6th - 5
7th - 3
8th - 2
9th - 1
10th - 1
and 1 for every position after 10th.
-Racer with the fastest lap of the race will recieve 4 bonus points.

SETTINGS

Other than the following, nothing shall be changed on the car.
All cars will have a Full Racing Supsension and Full Racing Transmission.
Any Suspension Settings may be changed
Transmission "Autoset" Settings may only be used.
Everyone will start out with T5 rated tires. If you want to join in in the middle of the series, it's ok. You will start out w/ T4 tires.
ASM = 0
TCS = 0
Any Racing Wheel from the GT Auto shop may be used.

Tire handicap after each race.
1st - minus 4
2nd - minus 3
3rd - minus 2
4th - minus 1
5th - stays same
6th - plus 1
7th - plus 2
8th - plus 3
9th - plus 4
10th - plus 4

The tires used will be T1 through T8. T0 will NOT be used. Here are some examples of how this will be used.
You are running T5. You finish second. 5 minus 3 = 2. You will run T2 for the next race.
You are running T3. You finish first. 3 minus 4 = -1. There is no such thing, thus you run the lowest, T1.

As I missed the first round do I start on t5's??

T1's are going to be around 2 second slower than t8's per lap ;)

Looks like T4's
 
T4's it is then ;)

okay the alfa's ready to run....332bhp....hmmm.......understeer;)

I'll try to get a couple of runs in before England play footie tonight :D
 
mid 1'28's...on the slowest tyres :) i'm struggling with mid to low 1'30's in free run....why did i pick a FF car :irked:
 
1:28.107, but that's in free run practice. my hp was at 301 vs the 296 i'd start with in the race.
 
1:25.xxx for nszero. damn, don't think my mazda has that in it.
 
T7's really helped. Congrats on your win for round 1 btw, that was super fast!
 
soft tyres will make a big difference.....starting to wonder if its me or the car thats uncompetative manage a dirty 1.29.8xx :( (thats on T4s

Whats the specs for your mazda talentless?? If I try it out at least I'd know if its me or the car ;)
 
i don't remember the weight, i think it's a bit heavier than rypien's, somewhere around 1200 kg. The hp is 296, but bordering 297. I did well because of experience with these tracks. much more so midfield.

ty, nszero.

I was sure rypien was going to win, but my obessiveness payed off.
 
What I've done so far are the following things.

Increseased the rear springs because it helped with corner speeds.

Lowered damping and rebound, and added toe in because they helped with responsiveness. I'm not sure what the best damping is, but so far I've preferred either all 4s or 5s. I have the bars at 3s or 2s, but
i may try a higher rear bar setting later.

My rear toe was at toe out 1, but moving it to toe out 0.5 improved cornering speed. The lowered dampers and stabilizers helped to compensate for the lowered turn in of reducing the rear toe out.

My amber is nothing special, just some number combination I typically use. 2.5/1.5, I think.

My rear toe might be 0, I'll check later.
 
because i'm runing FF set up is something like this

6.9/8.9
110/120
3/5
4/6
2.8/1.0
-1.5/-1.0
2/7

gears around 24/25
 
using my current saved set up, i tested t7 tires for about 10 laps and got a time of 1:25.467
 
Cool...I'm about on target then with a 1'25.5xx.

I think my rear dampers are set abit higher and I got rear toe...I think +1. I'll try your setup and see if I like it better. :)
 
Tried your setup as posted on 8-20 and found it a bit soft. Then again, you're still adjusting and it sounds like it's becoming harder.

Our cars are almost the same. There's a 10 kg and 2hp difference favoring the RZ. All I got besides the tranny and suspension was oil.

My current setup is at:
Spring = 13.0/11.2
Height = 94/94
Bound = 9/8
Rebound = 10/9
Camber = 2.5/1.5
Toe = +1.0/-2.0
Stabilizers = 1/7
Tranny = 24

I hope Barbol wanders across this thread as he's running the RZ as well.
 
Spring = 6.5/10.5
Height = 89/99
Bound = 5/5
Rebound = 5/5
Camber = 2.3/1.3
Toe = 0.5/-0.5
Stabilizers = 3/3
Tranny = 28
 
Talentless: you are running T1 tires for this race, correct?
 
Sport tires. I'm only testing the T7s, and that was only to compare myself to NSZero.
 
so you're running less than 1'28's on T1s? WOW.

Nope.
 
i might not be able to submit a time. just giving a heads up.
 
Im not going to be able to do this series. Have two I have to do, so take me off the roster ;)...
 
missed the deadline + not competitive......i'm out
 
can we assume it's cancelled?
 
i don't think its cancelled yet, Talentless. GTF has been down for almost a week and that's where everyone was posting. Let's wait and see.
 
i have everything ready for round 3, but GTF is down.
