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

Is the Safety Value taken into account in crashes? What determines the damage my car gets?

My current car has 0.0 Safety. I don't want it to fail because a fly hit the windscreen.

[koolkei]

you don't need a fly. wind alone will take it down like a cardboard box

[Packbat]

@mer_at: That's the current proposal:

Good idea! Currently it is based on durability (avg. reliability). But maybe your stats work better. I'll include something like that or maybe a mixture of safety, reliability and weight.

I'm probably going to enter a car with at least 15 Safety, just to be safe.

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

I knew about new calculations but i still do not know what does efect tyre wear the most

[Packbat]

I know of four factors:

• Gross vehicle weight. (I think. Not sure.)
• Wheelspin.
• Camber (more negative = more wear).
• Understeer/oversteer. The closer your yaw rate curve is to the red line, the less tyre wear.

Actually, that makes me wonder: Der Bayer, are you going to use the high-speed yaw rate curve in calculating wear, too? Might be interesting!

[koolkei]

any more updates? my butt is clenching as hard as it could and are prepared to seat on those park bench seat again.

[Der Bayer]

HOLY YISSSSSSSSSSSS

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

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.

Yeah it is 1966 and the rules have been changed in order to exclude the non-Sprite.

Only the driver Model is considered to be a gentleman, so you as a car designer still can join of course.

Can I take 101 as my race Number Please?

You will be able to choose your preferred numbers but are limited to single and two digit numbers.

Tyrewear is based on tyre load per width, camber, wheelspin (actual wheelspin, not the stat), brake pad settings and brake dimensions (if wheels are locking up easily).

Is the Safety Value taken into account in crashes? What determines the damage my car gets?

My current car has 0.0 Safety. I don't want it to fail because a fly hit the windscreen.

The damage your car takes is influenced by weight (comparison to the other crashing car, the lighter one takes more damage), safety and average reliability of the car. The influence will consist of an somewhat average value but a value close to 0 in some category will penalise you a lot more.

A rather important note: The engine reliability stat in the game is not changing anymore if you provide not enough cooling. The reliability in my calculations will take a look at required and actual cooling and scale engine reliability depending on that.

Another note: I try to get the submission tool ready before the weekend.

well dang. i really usually prefer to have a 2 piston oversized disc because im trying to get the brake fade as low as possible. more often than not, it makes the brake pretty OP.

or is there another way to do it? aside from giving it more brake cooling?

[UMGaming]

Is 00 or 0 possible as racing numbers? (I'm guessing that 0 will be anyway but If possible I'm taking 00)

[Der Bayer]

1-99 with 1 being reserved for the current champion.

[UMGaming]

I call shotgun on 88

[AirJordan]

#23

[Der Bayer]

Nobody does anything. I don't want this thread to become a mess of race number claims. You will be able to specify your desired number when you submit your car (first come first serve).

[UMGaming]

ohh ok sorry about that
