(1980) Communist Racing (FINAL RACE DONE)

[strop]

Wait, SIC??? Not Sepang is it!? My car's too slow, I'll get slaughtered!

[pyrlix]

MORE RESULTS!




Standings after Race 2




Next track comes after Christmas... and it will be very sick.

[NormanVauxhall]

Intresting and tight challenge.

[strop]

As predicted, a lack of outright speed has me in the thick of it once again!

Here's to hoping for some tight and technical tracks, then the dynamics of MR drivetrain can be truly tested against the FF builds!

[pyrlix]

OH NO!

Apparently there is a bug going on in the calculations - have to retest all of you guys... some people get faster, some get slower.
Some bug in the calcs caused slower/faster times for people. If the placements stay the same on the recent two tracks - the tables wont be changed and will still be valid - but that is currently in evaluation

[strop]

This is funny, for the first time, it appears that as of these first two tracks, the times my car has run here appears to have been exactly the same as posted!

p.s. I was curious about the differences in the drivetrains. I am mighty impressed with OppositeLock's strong performance in an MR car, as a 5 minute conversion to an FF drivetrain made my own car so much faster it would have been dominating the standings and won SIC by over 2 seconds. This warrants further investigation...

Just Sepang changed! No changes on SPA at all!

Thanks, I really don't have a clue why the car seems to be punching above it's power-to-weight, so to speak. When I saw the stat charts I figured it was doomed to failure. I built an FR car first, but switching to MR resulted such in a massive increase in straight line traction that it seemed like a no-brainer. I'm also not sure why the FFs are as fast as they are, I suspect the game doesn't really model things like weight transfer particularly well. Anyway, if you want to pick apart the car, have at it.

Happy Holidays people!

A surprise race for today! LUDWIGSHAFENRING!





Thanks go to conan who gave me the track!

[conan]

I'll pass on the thanks to Der Bayer von Awesome who is the one who actually made it!

[strop]

Indeed, much more competitive. I'm interested to see what this track is, I don't know it!

This is Ludwigshafenring:

Ludwigshafenring

That's a mouthful!

[Cheeseman]

Lud-vigs-har-fun-ring is how you pronounce it (if it was English), if I am not mistaken. Would have been a bit more of a mouthful if it was the Ludwigshafenamreinring!

Nice to see that, for once, my car didn't settle for 12th and decided 11th sounded nicer

[pyrlix]

Lud-vigs-hav-fun-ring is more like it

Also you could say... LudwigshafenAmRheinRing or... Siemens Hell or Streets of Ludwigshafen acording to conan.
