BRC - Out of the Steam - 1945 [Final Race Results]

[Der Bayer]

Cars will start with the neccessary amount of fuel plus safety margin in qualifying and race, yes. So gas guzzlers will be heavier in the beginning.

[BlastersPewPew]

Is it still possible to run out of fuel? For instance if you have a combination of worn out tires and crash damage could this be enough that you simply cant finish due to fuel exhaustion?

[Der Bayer]

It will not be possible to run out of fuel, no. You may have to retire because of too heavy crash damage or an engine failure though.

So.....without the 70kg driver I am actually FASTER than strop! Instead of 14th behind him by one, I finished 11th ahead by one. And...Mer_at!!!!!! 1.00 F/R grip after 11 laps????????????????????? And consistently a full second faster than me to boot. What am I doing WRONG? hahaha Good job, and awesome work Der Bayer. This is going to be sooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the Packbat Auto Works quest for speed has run into a minor snag: to avoid confusion, the chief engineer mandated that every new variation had to have a unique paint job, and, well...

On the bright side*, the new engine and associated suspension adjustments should make it almost a second faster and nearly 20% more economical - improvements that were much needed to compete with the other vehicles - while only somewhat increasing the risk of catastrophic engine failure.

* Which, technically, would be every side of this thing.

Yeah, I am suprised at how well the grip holds up for some of the cars. I have to run -2.8 / -1.2 camber and it suddenly starts eating away at wear on the last few laps....

[EnryGT5]

I run double -1.6, with a 650kg car i hope the tyres will be long lasting...

[DuratecDriver]

Tried a completely different approach, at the test track I shaved off almost 3,5 secs..should be a little more economical too. My only question is: will the tires still not wear too much?

[Rubensls]

Was my car not elligible? Or will you be posting various results?

[Der Bayer]

You have just been too late. I started the training session at least one hour before you sent me your files. You will be in the last pre-testing session which will be started in approx. 1 hour. The video will be up tomorrow.

[Rubensls]

Oh well, time zones I guess

[strop]

Hmmmmmmm... I actually don't know if I'm going to have time to adjust my car. Contrary to everything that I like to do, instead of going for a competitive qualifying time, I might actually just make it a really economical car and reduce the tyre wear, which is going to slow it down even further, but maybe I can see if I can get through the races without having to pit

[VicVictory]

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH STROP?!

[07CobaltGirl]

LOL

[Der Bayer]

There will be no pit stops.

The final Pre-Season Test has been finished. I'm looking forward to your revisions and to the racing action!
