The good news is, I did not run out of fuel and may actually have a chance to qualify.


The bad news is.....



Yep, my car STILL sucks! ;)

O, ok. I guess I had the error system in my mind wrong.

Wow! 29th isn't horrible. It also isn't good. haha

That's some spread in times for sure. 6:01 all the way up to 7:22?

I will need a guardian angel to push my car in order to climb in the ranks, however. C'mon guardian angel! :roll:

Re: BRC - Out of the Steam - 1945 [Race 4 Training]

I may have said this before, or I may not have, but one thing is clear: regardless of how little time I put into it, my car is quite simply the worst car I have ever submitted to any kind of Automation race. It's so bad that I can't even derive much useful information from its performance in races except to say that economy is useless if you can't go, turn or stop :lol:

Re: BRC - Out of the Steam - 1945 [Race 4 Training]

Quick question, because I forget if it has been answered: what units are used for fuel in BROBOT? It occurred to me in another thread that BROBOT results could be used to estimate how race fuel consumption should be calculated for other competitions, but while I'm guessing that the units are kilograms (kg), I don't know for sure.

Yes, the fuel unit is kg. It would be no problem to convert it to liters, but kg is more common in racing.
