I think your time is fine. *opens automation, deletes car design and cries*


Wait. I just realized i was running on sport tires at 2.26.10. Now on slicks, much better :mrgreen: . Everybody using slicks?

Yup, using slicks as well, and seeing that i'm running within "strop-ish" i'm pretty happy for the time being. Just a bit worried about how my reliability, driveability, tyre wear and such will affect my error rate. Just hope i haven't derped on any rules, don't think i have but fails do happen on my account :oops:

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

I'll also add that I'm letting my cars run a bit 'heavy' for now, including making safety at least 25 (I'm scared of damage done due to crashing). Im also giving myself a fairly healthy reliability margin (37). If it looks like I'll struggle in qualifying I'll just have to amp up the risk :twisted:

I wonder just how much camber affects wear because I did go quite aggressive with that...

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

I am doing 1.26 with (yet) not tuned sport suspension, sport tyres and absolutely no balast left :) so maybe efficiency will be my jam

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

1:26? Which track is that?? If it's Airfield that's also a pretty good time. My heavier builds (with a buttload of ballast) would probably struggle to get past 1:27.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

Yes, this solved my problem. Tool is working as expected now. I didn't see anything about this in the readme file, so I was just following directions! :)

  Code:
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
- extract the .zip file
- copy the folder to C:\<username>\Documents\my games\Automation
  The folder should be in the same folder as the folders "Cars" and "Engines"
- run BRCTool66.exe (as administrator)

Down to 2:26:x with my ~300hp V8 FWD Not-VW-Bulli :D is there anyone who is going to try to compete with that body for shits and giggles?

My current car does the automation track in 2.23.01, which is quite a lot lower than the competitive cars from the 1955 BRC, and i assume these will be faster, not slower. Or if we could have an idea from a benchmark car on the automation track and/or airfield track? Want to participate yet not finish last :)


that time is fine
*opens automation
*look at my car time

your reliability is 37? is that overall or engine? because my engine alone have 36.7 reliability settings.



also. i might be the only one running sub-150hp.... because 524Kg and 0 safety.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

weight and power?

i chose the smallest body available. but i have the problem of tire width crisis. im maxing out at 175mm. im pretty sure if i can get it to 195 i can get my time as low as 2:21 after some suspension tuning

i desperately need that tire quality slider, but i can't.

8:57.44 green hell :)

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

To those having difficulty getting the tool to load your car, may I ask if you've got other folders hiding inside your Models, Trims, Families, and Variants folders?

I did, and removing them seems to have allowed it to complete the load.
