BRC: Shakedown Challenge [FINISHED]

[OCAdam]

Welp, only real way for my company's cars to go are up! Well... down by 1 as well, but still. Next set of rally challenges I think I'll actually have something for Group B (NA powered though).

Not sure if this has been answer as I only just saw it on FB, but can I enter both Group B and the 1600 Demo class with different cars?

If so, I'll enter in a couple of days, if late entries are allowed?
Haven't played for months so need to get up to speed!

You could have entered both competitions with different cars, but it is too late now. However, this round was really meant as a test to see how things went and if anything needed to be changed for the proper competition, so you aren't missing out on a huge amount

I'm honestly rather pleased with a result on the lower end of the board. Because it's exactly that, a result.

I focused way too much on making my car tame over giving it enough power to fight with the 400+ horsepower monsters.

Power isn't everything as my Volvo proves. It is getting spanked by almost every other car becuase it is an undrivable mess of a thing :s .

In a little R&D session I just had, upgrading to my newest prototype resulted in a time nearly 15 seconds faster. Hopefully I'll be able to bring my best next time.

I can't believe I missed this. Oh well, i'll have to enter in the next one I guess. Good luck everyone

Its not the end of the world and its too late to fix now, but i've just noticed that for some reason my car is listed as 1110kg, when it should be 1100.1kg. I only noticed because I was checking out the stats of what seems to be my main rival, dduff442's Padiwagen, and comparing it to my own car

[Der Bayer]

The model I have from you is saying 1110 kg. That's all I can say.

his is a bug! the data jump at every save up or down

I think that the trigger is the brake size

I love it when a plan comes together!

[nialloftara]

Well I'll be! Held on to 8th even with the slowest top speed of the field.

[Razyx]

The 3rd stage gonna be a hell... a curve!! a curve!!

[Reaper392]

Top marks for consistency with my car. 5th again

More importantly, I seem to have pulled ahead of dduff442 in his Paddywagen. Hopefully enough to make up for my comparatively poor handling.

*edit*
I just tried The I6 version of my car that I made on Monday. It would have got 1st on stage 2 with a 6:45.34.

Combined with its 4th place time on stage 1 of 5:41.10, that gives a total of 12:26.44, which would have been enough for 3rd

[dduff442]

Urgh. This stage should have been ideal. There's got to be a high-speed cornering issue with the Padiwagen because its high-speed acceleration is very good. Stage 3 won't be kind, so 5th is safe from me anyway.
