1/4 mile drag racing

[nialloftara]

Like I said the airfield benefits from lots of rear, if I could be bothered to actually download each track in a series and tune my cars extensively for the series I'd spend hours figuring out the perfect spot for each fixture. As it is I just make the cars look good to me spend a few minutes on the suspension and gearing then submit, for these long standing leader boards I tend to get obsessive returning to a design again and again to get it exactly right. For instance it this one I found I could nudge my wings forward a bit to help front end down force which allowed me to run super narrow 135mm( I think) front wheels without exploding.

That's if you don't balance out the downforce with something on the front, but when it comes to tuning something to the maximum tolerance of Airfield, yes, that's exactly what happens, because most tracks aren't perfectly flat like Airfield is!

Truth be told, many of my "time attack" cars look the same way, it's hardly a new revelation. It's just... I tend to disguise mine in other manners.

I will have to dissappoint you all as i broke the current record by 0.02 seconds yet again......

0-100 in two seconds FLAT?! IMPOSSIBRUUUU

Hoho! Looks like awd is fighting back. Okay I'll have a chance to fire back Saturday night. Nice job!

[Luilakkie]

It ain't AWD Bro.

[nialloftara]

Changed things up huh?

[strop]

What would blow my mind was if it were fwd LOL.

Jokes, well, this isn't currently on my to do list, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

EDIT: Wait, nope, scratch that idea. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to switch bodies, methinks.

You guys had me beat using the original MR body, so I'd like to see what you can get out of trackpaduser's new Group C body! The downforce and weight distributions are very finnicky, but the potential returns are massive. Suffice to say, holy crap, this car hooks up fast if you get the setup right. Too bad it doesn't tolerate quite as high amounts of power. And I only spent an hour on it, so I'm sure there's more to be gained from it.

p.s. tech year still 2014.

[nialloftara]

Damn it strop I'd just tied him too.

[strop]

Maybe so niall, but... I presume you're still using the newer Mr body. I don't know how you're getting that body to 7.63!

The way I see it now that so many mods are coming out, it's more about finding what each body is capable of rather than finding the best time overall. You should give the group c shell a try, it's amazing when you figure it out. I wouldn't be surprised if you found some extra time.

[nialloftara]

Best I've gotten is 7.53, looks like you've won this round... For now.

[strop]

As usual I'm happy to trade notes, not least because I'd love to know how you got the other body to a 7.63. I may have won the Group C shell round but I'm happy to hand the other round to you!

[Luilakkie]

Actually i used the "Not a vivaro" body.

However i will be back for revenge

[strop]

I was really curious as to what kind of time that van was capable of! Now we have somewhat of an idea.

[Luilakkie]

Matched it, seems like we got a different downforce setup....
how many horsepower does yours have? mine's just shy of 2500
