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

[Der Bayer]

That should work I think.

[RocketplaneRacing]

Comparing my fuel consumption at Silverstone in the wet to practice, I'm 75% sure that I can get away with no stops in the wet at Knockhill. However, if I wanted to change tires during an emergency fuel stop, how would I go about that? Could I put my regular stop at 101% race distance and set the replace stop to within, say, 50% of scheduled stop? In that case would I take the fuel I need and change tires as necessary.

By the same token, I would only be taking maybe 5-8kg of fuel, so that would be a 4s stop, much lower than the 10-15s for tires...

That should work I think.

It seems the BRC tool won't let me go over 100% race distance. (Who'd have thunk?) I can go into the .lua file and edit the race percentage by hand if that works.

[AirJordan]

That's a good one Rocket, I could use that as well

[Der Bayer]

You can set it to 100%, the driver won't pit in the last lap.

Btw. i think it would be nice to hide all entries after they dropped out of the race.
So the grid list wouldn't have to scroll over 20 dropouts during the race.

And a CSV exporter would be nice to. So we could study our laptimes afterwards. (Maybe in Brobot 3.0?)

[Der Bayer]

The csv exporter already spits out the race statistics. It is not a big problem to add laptimes to the list.

I want to keep the dropped out cars in the list. Just in case someone tunes in a bit too late and does not find his car.

[Packbat]

Keeping the dropped also lets us know how long it takes nerd to catch up to the DNFs.

[mer_at]

Give that poor man a chance to update his engine.

[AirJordan]

Oh yeah mid season revision sounds great

[Absurdist]

I also would be happy for Nerd to get a pass to update his car. In the interest of competition. Even Manor got the Merc engines!

:p

[pyrlix]

Just take his car, and change the engine to Power-Weight Ratio conformity (and maybe widen to 215s) - that would make him SOMEWHAT fast.

[Riso]

He's 100 HP short to get even close to 0.25; you'd have to change the p/w conformity significantly.

[Der Bayer]

I wonder who would complain first if I upgraded his car and he crashes into somebody because he is suddenly somewhat competitive.

[koolkei]

complain? pfft, no.
they would feel blessed to be hit.

[Packbat]

I'd be okay with nerd resubmitting, but I don't feel wholly comfortable with just upgrading engine power to competitiveness.
