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

[Lothoren]

Sarted 21st finished 6th, got some work to do on front tyre wear and overall speed.

I needed half a lap

Well done to the other podium finishers. Fair to say I really enjoyed the race with the battle against Riso. I admit I thought it was going to be over when I pitted at 60% rain, but I was catching the leaders back.

Now, back to the drawing board and fixing the few issues while being faster.

I'm taking a look at the time differences, mostly if all cars are slower somewhat by the same difference or if some cars lose a lot more time than others. It will be sorted out before the challenge starts.

I learned a lot from the testrace. I found another 2 seconds at the Automation track, I have better drivability and less agressive camber settings.
So I expect to go faster, make less errors and to have less tyre wear.

Mmph - I was going to test out a new car, but guven all the weird technical glitches, I think I'll just change race strategy and re-export. I did pretty all right in the race, after all ... and my engine turned out to have pretty good fuel economy for my gas tank size.

...but first I'm going to watch the videos on a bigger screen than my phone.

[Der Bayer]

First results of investigations:
- Big one: The devs rebalanced the driveability vs. sportiness penalty and I haven't noticed that yet. This has now been fixed and should get the relative balance between the cars right.
- Track times are 1-2 seconds faster than the in-game calculations now. Still we are around 3 seconds too slow when we consider the flying start. Not tooooo big of a problem in my opinion, though I still would like to know where that comes from.

I will do a quick training video to show the new results. Please let me know then if your performance is still worse than you think it should be.

[AirJordan]

I have sooo much work to do! I need to find a couple of seconds... Speaking of which my qualy time is also 1 sec slower than standing start time in the game...


About future (or past) races: How common is rain? Because at this race, tyre friendliness and low consumption did not help me much.


oh and one more thing: Der Bayer, this looks awesome! Thanks for taking your time.



EDIT: What does Driver error percentage mean?

[07CobaltGirl]

Rain is something completely new to the BRC, so nobody knows yet how "common" it will be. Driver error percentage is how severe the error is. When severe enough, it results in damage to the car (the damage is also new to the BRC). Previously the only damage was received during collisions, IIRC.

Nobody knows yet. We'll find out this season!

[Speedemon]

I sent in my car today and the training was going on yesterday. Will I still compete?

yes, it still on pre-season test and no deadline yet

It's in Britain for a reason. It will be a nice mixture of weather conditions, but it won't rain in every single race (probably).

07CobaltGirl thanks for info! Btw nice fight on the track!

[07CobaltGirl]

haha yeah we traded places several times!
