The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

[mer_at]

Very cool race. I was shocked by my driver error in the last lap.

[HellBoyBG]

So a quickie. Is there a race or something, and if yes, where should i send my lua ??

[Der Bayer]

The challenge is currently in development and I use cars built by the community for testing. You can find the regulations for the cars somewhere in this thread. Send the lua file in a PM to me if you want to participate.

[strop]

I am vexed. For some reason the car simply doesn't have race pace this time, aside from the two rather large errors (though in the big picture they didn't contribute much), and that shunt I gave leo (Sorry! ) But as to how I have suboptimally built my car, I am scratching my head.

Well, I think it is better to stick to this model until everything is implemented to give an idea of the varying performances so that's how it may stay!

I'm very glad for going with AWD because my car rocketed off the line. Granted it was out of position due to a giant error in qualifying but 14th to 7th in the first few corners with a final position of 4th was a lot better than expected. Judging by the lap times I might have managed third with a decent qualifying session too.

Der Bayer, is it possible for next time to have the race run until all cars have crossed the line next time? This one ended as soon as the leader finished, which probably denied a few people a last lap battle

*edit*
I've just noticed that rileybanks seems to be listed in the wrong position judging by the marker's position on the map and the distance behind figure at the end of the race. Not sure what would cause that though

Clearly I need more power! And cornering. And maybe wider tires (205/225 now). Good news is I wasn't dead last. I was next to last. lol

You do realise pyrlix is running a 4.5 ton bus right?

If it helps you reach some sort of target, my car finished 4th, had 245/30 tyres front and rear, weighed exactly 1000kg, had about 330bhp and was AWD. However, your car certainly looked a thousand times better than mine

[mer_at]

Some minor improvements in the Video would be nice.
should start 10s before the racestart. So you dont have to pause the video to find yourself.
video should end ~10s after last car crosses the finish line.
should display statistics - e.g. "fastest laptime by <driver> in lap <lapnumber> with <laptime>"

[Der Bayer]

Yeah, especially the ending needs to be dealt with to give you some time to at least pause the video

The video ended when mer_at finished the extra lap after the real finish and everyone else was over the line before. The gap when crossing the line counts, not the distance a few minutes after the finish. Rileybanks' position was off at some point, yes, but it fixed itself again when the other guys in front of him crossed the line. I gotta check that out of course.

Sure, stick a needle in my balloon! Big meanie. Couldn't let me have one iota of comfort.

Yet I fail in aesthetic design challenges as well. Boy howdy, I should find another hobby! haha

[strop]

wahahahaha I am merciless!

But in all seriousness I actually seriously made a car I thought was supposed to battle for the podium so it's not like my car did all that well now, but all in the name of developing a good simulation!

It's been completely redisigned. The Not-Lotus body has a serious limitation on tire sizes though!!!!!!!!!!!

[Der Bayer]

I will be fixing some car performance bugs during the next days, so don't expect to much new stuff soon.

[Dragawn]

Damn, I always seem to draw the short straw on crashes, how are they incalculated?
How will the tyre wear affect the races? Will cars who are leaner on the tyres be able to drive more aggressively before pitting if chosen, or will they retain grip better?
can't complain about the results though
