That's really quick! :) My grannies are almost 2 seconds slower, but happy at it!

Re: Training For the Bavarian Rallye

That was actually the first run I did with the car on that track. I've been tuning based upon combined time around the BRC shakedown stages, BRC S1, Nurb Nords, and additionally my Road Atlanta (but I also have a combo time without RA). That revision did the 5 combined in 2052.85 seconds... or 34 minutes, 12.85 seconds. With RA, it's an additional 101.01 seconds.

Good thing this is not an endurance event. my car currently has around 27L/100km or 10 Miles per Gallon.

Re: Training For the Bavarian Rallye

Is there a way to work out what the downforce balance is by digging in the lua file? its really annoying not knowing if the car has balanced downforce

Re: Training For the Bavarian Rallye

My latest try, kinda nice the 2.8 sec 0-100, not alot of downforce though.

That will be added in the next bigger update, where you get info for the individual downforce front/rear at 200 km/h.

You can find the lift values for the car body you are using in the model lua on lines 158 and 166, which tells you about their intrinsic balance. The actual values with all wings & splitters in effect you find on lines 1669 and 1671.

Finally cracked the 80second mark :D :D :D

Edit: shit, didn't see the 6 gear requirement. Back to the drawing board :(

Is it the l_f and l_r values? they are on slightly different lines for me, hence asking.

Also, its good to know that my current car isn't 100bhp behind the top runners this time :)

Re: Training For the Bavarian Rallye

No, they basically are values for the weight distribution. l_f is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle, l_r is the distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle.

The line numbers might be a bit different between models with and without turbochargers.

If you search for ClFront and ClRear, you get the base lift distribution for the body (at least I think it's only for the base body). I couldn't find the actual downforce/lift values at 200 km/h though.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up, Martin, would have made sense for them to be right next to the total downforce value :)

Re: Training For the Bavarian Rallye

Finally managed to get over 405 BHP out of the EGT 92HC's engine, 0-100kph in 3.10sec and 246kph top speed, overall it's very similar to the old version, the only exception is that now it oversteers :lol:

Re: Training For the Bavarian Rallye

Just to note: with build 1360's bug fix for dual clutch, times should be far lower than before. On my 5 course test, I dropped 13.43 seconds total and went purple on literally every sector except one due to this alone. That remaining sector was only beaten by a car setup with absolutely no downforce (hey, it was going to get at least ONE sector right!).
