BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [RACE 6 P&Q]

[Packbat]

The most precise method is by looking in the .lua file for the engine variant - that's what I talked about in this earlier post - but eyeballing the numbers based on the graphs seems to be feasible. If the line on the fuel economy chart is about three-quarters of the way up from the 400 g/kWh line to the 700 g/kWh line, that means about 625 g/kWh. The formula has a pretty wide margin of error, after all - this is mostly to make sure that you're not blindsided going into the pre-season testing by your car needing two pit stops in a 90-minute race. For that purpose, you want to have a reasonable margin of safety anyhow.

WoHoooooo!!!! Finally!

What year is the NonSprite body? Is it excluded/to old from this race?

[Packbat]

Not!Sprite is 1955 exactly, I believe.

Edit: Unrelated: is something in the 2:21s decent for ATT under these rules?

HOLY YISSSSSSSSSSSS

but why 1966? not 1965? is there a particular reason for this?

[strop]

Because in 1965, the last ten years body rule will include the not-sprite. You weren't around for that particular contest, but let's just say that body was, compared to the other bodies available for the time, super OP to the point that if you didn't use it, you had no chance of placing even in the top third of the field

(Due to low power:weight ratings, it was much lighter and the power limitation was very easy to hit, and also had much less overall drag than the other bodies.)

My guess would be to explicitly eliminate the not-Sprite body?

@Martin: So, does this mean I cannot participate? I'm no Gentleman. Also, can you include a link for the mod pack allowed? I can never find it when I need it, and I currently have way more stuff than that installed in my game.

[koolkei]

^ then again, the collection is actually growing slowly.

well i wasn't in it, but i kinda watched the last 2-3 races. so i kinda know

[07CobaltGirl]

On the upside, I built my car almost immediately following the 1955BRC, and...the body I used is in the collection!!!!!

[RobtheFiend]

I also wonder where the collection is, can't find it. Is it somewhere else than under Automation in the workshop?

Do i need to unsubscribe all else?

[07CobaltGirl]

High Quality Essentials

Here is the link. Search "High Quality Essentials" in the workshop to find it though.

[KLinardo]

So wait. Wasn't the not Sprite a mod? And wouldn't that be banned anyway? Or are there vehicles in the quality essentials collection I don't know about?

[07CobaltGirl]

Yes, the not-Sprite is a mod, but is included in the specified mod-pack so was eligble in the previous BRC held in 1955. It was the first year for the body availablility. There are several vehicles included in the pack, but ,most of them are not eligible.

Can I take 101 as my race Number Please?

How is tyre wear calculated? Driveability, sportines, load, wheelspin, all of them?

The way the track testing is calculated in game comes from this race simulation so yeah
