Watkins Glen Chat...
« on: January 29, 2014, 06:59:45 PM »
Well humper, the best I can do in the in The Dodge Challenger is 1:27.xx  Hot lap attached for the Challenger.
It is not as fast as the Barracuda, at least with my driving.

The server is set to:
Mechanical Failures : off
Damage: 10%
Tyre Wear: Normal
Fuel: X2

We want to ensure all finish, unless you take it over a fence!  ::)
So, you can't blow the things up! Even if you have HUD monitoring, it will go to 0% but still function.
The Tyres go off at about 91%, but having said that, my best time of 1:27 in the Challenger was set at lap 8 @ ~ 90% wear
Tyres were at 80% at 12 laps
And the fuel lasted 12 laps.

Now that's interesting because based on the live server I had you pegged as doing 25s in the Dodge. Even so I couldn't get near 27s in that bad boy.

Got the Jav into the 26s on occasion now.

I like the way BJ selected the Jav. 1 extra horse and more streer. Wish I'd thought of that.

I had tested all the cars on so many laps getting the tracks together, I am totally confused on what car, when!   :o
Pleased that it was the Dodge, didn't think to look at the stats  :-[   It must have been one of those, "Not going to let Mr Fox out do ma again!" seasons  ;D

Haha I had thought of the analogy of the blues brothers, as I look like Curtis in my suit and hat, I'm glad you boys "have seen the light"

I knew your set up was being difficult, I was being phasisiuos
