BRC - Out of the Steam - 1945 [Final Race Results]

[Packbat]

w00t, cards!

I'm glad to see that my performance stats are in line with a lot of the cars that are 200 kg lighter - and it'll definitely be interesting to see how I fare, running the second-lowest Driveability/Sportiness ratio.

[BavMotWork]

These cards are ace! I would have never expected the cars to be so diverse. I'm excited to see which ones do well on which courses.

[strop]

Hm, not the most economical car, mine. I suspect the engine is actually too small (684cc v8 lol) because I decided to make almost as light an engine as possible and go from there. But aluminium is expensive! I except to finish somewhere in the middle order, if not a bit further back, so let's see if that comes true!

[Manche]

this series made me think that we need more early game bodystyles!!! something like the cistalia 202.

[07CobaltGirl]

Yes, the year was a very limiting factor.

[3rayman3]

I have the third cheapest car XD

[montoya86]

Damn missed the deadline by just 2 Days... Is there any Chance to enter the competition by now?
If not, when is the next season due to Start??

Cheers

[Der Bayer]

No, the preparations have progressed too far already, sorry. The next one will start when this one is over. I'd guess 2-3 weeks from now.

[montoya86]

Thouht so....damn...

Are there some Guideline allready what the Next competition will be about? 1955??

[Der Bayer]

Correct, but with different tyre width and power/weight ratio limits (have not thought about them yet).

[darkjedi]

when is the qualifying session ready?

[Der Bayer]

I still need some time. I had the training sessions ready but now I need to re-do them because of the sportiness issue which was fixed in the most recent update. I guess we will start after Easter. I want to check everything because I want to avoid that I have to repeat races which already have been made public.

[TheBobWiley]

Drag this out more, the suspense is killing me!

[Absurdist]

While we wait, I thought I'd come up with some (hopefully) interesting snippets about our cars.

So, using the trump cards I have discovered that we’ve got a rather balanced tally of engine configurations used.
V8FP - 15
V8 - 13
I4 - 12
I6 - 9

The highest horsepower in the competition is a mighty and glorious 203HP car made by flax, whereas the lowest is oppositelock's 83HP lightweight, which also proudly sits as the lightest car at 553kg. JasonPoland's 113HP car sits closest of all to the 113hp average.

The quickest to go from 0-100 is mattmr2, with 9.2, closely followed by killrob (9.4) and leo9613 (9.5). The average of the cars, being 10.6.

The cars to watch on the straights are 8bs, Pylix and Frisco557, who can boast 196, 196 and 195 km/h top speeds respectively. The average sits at 180, so the guys at the top will have quite an advantage. The cars most likely to be overtaken on the straights are oppositelock and Nialloftara. Both topping out at 169.

Nialloftara can take heart however, because of all the cars his car is the most likely to finish a race, 44.2 reliability is fantastic, on the flip side, the car most likely to fail is mattmr2 with only 17.7.

A big theme of discussion on the forum was economy, the car which will start with the smallest penalty at race start will be Lothoren’s, congrats! I am eager to see how much of an advantage this can give him. Unfortunately for flax, the cost of his high horsepower monstrosity is a whopping 30.9L used per 100km, so in theory he’ll be starting with over double the fuel weight of anyone else. The average is 8.66L.

Which brings me to the very last topic, drivability vs sportiness ratio, this one varies a lot, anywhere from TheBobWiley’s please make it end ratio of 1.39 to Sniperbait’s suitable for shopping trips and taking your nan to the park 7.17.


I hope you guys enjoy the figures of the BRC. Good luck!
