BRC: Shakedown Challenge [FINISHED]

After the 3th stage will be another race?

[Der Bayer]

Yes, it will start when the automatic update for the game is out. Hopefully the weight issues are solved then.

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.

What you probably don't realise is that my high speed acceleration is also very good because I made the car very efficient aerodynamically to make up for the lack of power (despite the most powerful cars having more than 1/3 more power than me, I have the highest top speed) . The downside of doing this is that I have even bigger high speed cornering/flying issues

The Znopresk have struggled to hold their position in the chart. The team and the drivers knew that the lack of power was the biggest problem of the cars and the second stage was indeed a real pain.
They are looking for the third stage to take back the lost positions, and maybe something more? We will see it tomorrow.

I really need to up my game...

[darkjedi]

looks like my Gr. B car would have only got 8th place on both stages.

Weight issues? What is having weight issues (interior, safety, overall, x feature)?

We both only have two ways to go: stay the same, or go up. Lets both go up next rally.

So I apparently have no idea what I am doing...dead last...both times....

You just needed more power, your groub B was out powered by a few 1600 cars. From the specs your drive-ability was alright, G's were a little low but not out of contention. No where to go but up then for then next race.

But whats this? a contender's nipping at his heels! the CPV team is picking up steam now heading into the final stage, will the Znopresk's cornering be enough to hold back the Hawk's lighting acceleration? Will the hills prove to much for the Znopresk's low power? Or will the rough roads be the undoing of the hawk's stiffer springs, stay tuned sports fans!

Eh you just need a more powerful engine. Even my N/A V8 is producing 350+ horsepower. If you're not able to make a more powerful engine next time around, you should look into finding someone to provide engines for you. Every horsepower counts, so long as your car can actually handle the power.

Yeah well i think it was simply because I went with an i4 engine thinking that 4 larger (mostly longer for torque) cylinders would do better than 6 smaller ones...but I didn't really have much time to test and didn't realize the error of my logic til it was too late...the engine itself was pretty nice for a little i4 engine though! (I thought at least lol)

Also having people make engines for me seems silly...would rather just learn how to do it proper

Loading a model for the first time does not give the right car weight. This is probably the main cause why I had to disqualify so many people. Not because I disqualified them for that wrong value (I always made sure it was the value saved in the model, not the one loaded), but because some people apparently had issues getting the weight right under these conditions.
