The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

[HighOctaneLove]

If it makes you feel better, the car that finished just in front of you was FWD.

(Probably a combination of having a bigger, heavier car than everybody else combined with less optimal setup.)

I ran a RWD so, having been beaten by a FWD, I think I deserve a Picard facepalm for letting the traditionalists down...

Nice simulation.

I'm using AWD as well. But probably i will need more POWAAAA....

I fell from 2nd to 8th place. So Der Bayer, what happened? Was it due to B.R.O.B.O.T?

8bs: you're running 50-60hp less than some of us. If I had started from the front row and not the sixth, I may have had a sniff at Norman! But his pace was so consistently quick I doubt the overall result would have changed. That being said, battling through places presumably costs time and tyres, so I was very chuffed to see my test car fight all the way through the ranks!

Mars Engineering enters the Testing, with the ME Ottanta.

[EnryGT5]

YEAH. EAT THAT ENRY-

I mean, nice race! Looks like many of us pitched our economy to last an entire 50 lap race, and Norman's AWD system proved quite advantageous. I think I will work on some tweaks (or a total change of approach), in anticipation for the change!

DAMN YOU HORSEGUY!

Just kidding mate, it was amusing to watch my little white V8 powered dot in an actual fight
I'm revising the car right now. I'm hoping to catch up to Norman's rocket powered monster, if that is even possible.
Also, i use AWD too.

[Der Bayer]

I prepared a little racer, too. Going the oldschool way: RWD.

[Dragawn]

Damn, this stuff is interesting


Well, here's my car for the testing, hopefully it's any good, going AWD as usual.

What kind of times were you guys getting in game for those times in Der bayer's video? With my various 80% done cars I'm struggling to get below 2:20, and I highly doubt that a slightly rolling start will make up the time difference between the first lap times

[EnryGT5]

I was getting around 2:21, my new version is 2.5 seconds faster

From Rennen Automotive, the brand-new successor to the Rennen Monzon, the Angelus! With 214 HP, a screaming redline of 8700, and RWD, this should be a fun race!

Special note: We are sending in a fully road-legal production model of the car, and not a race-tuned or sports version. This is the one you can buy at your local dealership.

The current cars are around 5-7% faster on a flying lap on the ATT in my simulation compared to the Automation time.

Thanks, that explains a lot, and has saved me from much head scratching and frustration trying to match the times in the video

[strop]

haha same here, having also scratched my head a lot trying to slash three seconds from my time! I'm not sure that the time I did save was worth the extra wear and tear I'm surely inflcting on the rears...

Caring about Speed? No.
Caring about Cargo Space? Yes.
Caring about being the last in the test race? No.



Time for Crazy Bus Light - by B.A.N. Hammer AG.
Its faster than a Corvette C6 AND a Porsche Cayman S around the Airfield! While having a huge piano in the back.

Hey Martin, does vehicle size play a role in how difficult it is to pass vehicles?

If so, I'd love to see what happens if you start Roland's bus on pole
