BRC QuER - Hockenheim 1000 km 1976 [FIX]

[squidhead]

Can we get an estimate of the pre-race test airing?

[DeusExMackia]

Meanwhile, at Hockenheim, a lorry arrives after a 12 hour journey from the X Department test centre at Ashbourne, England, carrying the first race-ready Civera Silhouette BRC76 edition.
It didn't even have time to have the livery applied, but that has been revealed at a press conference held just before the first test session at the track.


All original 70s styling and logos included as standard!

I'm assuming switching drivers takes extra time. are there any numbers on that?
Are the driver swaps timed with the regular stops automatically? and what about emergency pit stops?

for example, if I set my pitstop time to 45 minutes. and my driver swap to 120 minutes. that would mean there is a scheduled pitstop at 90 and 135 minutes.. will the driver swap in one of the regular stops or is there an extra pitstop in between?

Driver swaps take 60s (while tyre change and refueling is going on simultaneously). The driver won't make an extra stop for the driver swap. In your example, he would pit at 135 minutes and make room for the next driver. If he makes an emergency stop between 120 and 135 minutes, the driver will be swapped immediately.

Can we get an estimate of the pre-race test airing?

In ~2 hours.

Really looking forward! So many different approaches and now drivers. How fast will they get exhausted, will quirkiness of ours cars speed up tiredness, will they produce slower lap times or just more errors, is the stress factor already in brobot... so many questions...with answers still at least 2h away...

Will there be qually + short race?

About aerodynamics, I went for quite low drag(but quite different setups) cause it produced best lap times so there is quite some lift. However I did sacrifice few tenths of a second with turbo car in favour of few tenths of driveability. It still drops below 1.17 so no worries..

Rennen will participate in the BRC with the 1976 Rennen USC Racing concept in a BRC-tuned form. Packing a RR layout, a 3.5 Liter V8, and a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds, the USC is sure to turn heads with a distinctive paint job.

Only 20 laps of practice (if fuel is enough )

Still processing...

So much anticipation.

People who expect me to be slow, will be satisfied with knowing that I am.

The hype is too high

[findRED19]

I have to wait until I get home to view it, but I expect to be mid-late pack, and hopefully not last... Everyone seems to be running around 21s and I am chasing low 24... So More efficiency may be a good compromise for me. (run low 24s with less pit stops might work)

processing intensifies


What are those gauges under our names? Fatigue? Also... NERD IS TURBOCHARGED!!!

[Der Bayer]

Yes, that's driver fatigue, and it increases error chances.

[Lordred]

I would like to officially state: I did request to have the Crimson King removed! but it was funny to see the 16.3L in the test.

[Nevermore1983]

More than happy how that went for me will tweak the car a little bit but not a lot.
