Try moving all of the files except the car you want to load. The tool worked for me the first time with all the files in the folders, but when I submitted a revision it wouldn't work if any other files were in the folders. It would show me every single file EXCEPT the one I was trying to submit. Go figure...computers!

Cheers for the great data Der Bayer! Now it isn't just a guessing game anymore :lol: Hope this'll bring some interesting strategies this season.

Is 100% humidity normal constant rain, or more like a serious storm?

100% rain is a decent storm. :)

I'm looking into it. Deleting old .lua files and removing the subfolders in Cars/Trims, Cars/Models, Engines/Variants and Engines/Families makes it work now already.

A have no idea how some of you are dropping below or even coming close to 2.22... I am at 2.23 and something and can not drop further with any legal body-engine-material-suspension combo.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

I tried on other models that as well but I just fail to tune or balance them well enough to even drop below 2.24...with current model thou I want to avoid that bit but looks a have no choice. I think I will leave it as it is for first test and than see if lightness and efficiency pays of...or new engine is coming in.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

for me, making the car light by as possible morphing the bodyshell is the best way to get fastest time record on automation test track and also make sure too your car able to accelerate fast as possible like 0-100km/h in about 5 sec and need to make sure the power/weight ratio doesnt go over 0.25. or maybe you need to look your suspension setup and tuning it more

though im still quite far from reaching 2.21.xx but the result is quite sastifying overall.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

seeing the times that people got...... makes me consider another strategy. instead of being blinding fast, maybe just be fast-ish, but be as consistent as possible...

i cant even get 2:22, or 5 sec 0-60.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

0-100 in 5s generally requires you to have a lot of weight over the driving wheels, namely an MR car (or rear engined??? haven't tried that yet).

But some of the FR setups are almost just as fast around the track, even though they take an extra second or so to get to 100km/h. That said, you can also use the morphs to change the weight distribution, however slightly.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [BUILD]

4.5 sec for the 0-100 here. Down to 2.23 now. But yeah it requires a fat ass block on the rear. And some very weird camber. Including positive one.
Is it a viable solution? Probably not. But that's what I'll have to send for the first pre-season test. And now that mock exams kicked in I won't really have time to fix it in the next few days.

I can't just manage to get similar laptimes with a slightly different front tyre width and the setup going along.

For the Automation challenges, RL time and availability is key :)

What do you mean by 5s? I have 5.x seconds 0-100 on FR. And I suck at suspensions but still below 2:22.
