BRC: Shakedown Challenge [FINISHED]

[Reaper392]

Cooling... a lot of it. And quality.

Does cooling affect the power of the engine, or just its MTBF?

[Der Bayer]

Just MTBF, but only up to the point where you have enough for the engine.

Just MTBF, but only up to the point where you have enough for the engine.

Oh good, for a moment I thought I was missing out on a power advantage by not giving my engine extra cooling.

[Razyx]

I predict a second-from-bottom finish for me!

Don't worry the honor of being last will be mine

Don't worry the honor of being last will be mine

I hope so , though your car has better acceleration and a higher top speed. May the best loser win (or come second to last )

Stage 1 Results

Group B




Demo 1600



Stay tuned for the stage 2 results which will come tomorrow (probably at the same time of the day)!

[NormanVauxhall]

I didn't expect such "noice" performance in the Demo 1600. Good performance for the humble Zap!.
In the Group B it was a pity that the Zeta didn't performed as well as expected. I hope in the more slow paced stages will gain a bit.

[XYReis]

I think my N/A car did pretty well.
It would also be interesting to see whether turbo cars dominated their N/A counterparts.

[SamSheepDoq]

Why am I not on this list?

[Der Bayer]

Because the second version of your car still did not have the right engine file with it.

[Reaper392]

Nice, wasn't expecting anything close to 5th. This bodes well for the second stage

Also, its slightly awkward that we are all being beaten by Der Bayer who is carrying a 100kg more than the rest of us

[SamSheepDoq]

What do you mean?

EDIT: I think my name to the engine may have caused a problem. I renamed the engine in and out of the .lua, but never resaved the car...

[Pleb]

Wow, Razyx, I guess you won there , I don't know how I could have built such a crap car!

[Der Bayer]

@ SamSheepDoq: I'm sorry for you then, but I told you that there is a problem and you had the chance to solve it.

@XYReis: Currently the best naturally aspirated car in Group B is pyrlix on P7, 10 seconds behind the leader. Turbos are a bit overpowered (at least on this stage). But that's why this challenge is only a test. The next, bigger challenge will probably be balanced out a little bit more.

[SamSheepDoq]

That's fine. I took a look in the model .lua, and no, it's using the correct engine name. I'm very confused as to what the problem is if it's not the name.
