Looks good to me , lets go with this one for the 15/02/18 to allow enough time for everyone to be ready.

I have most of the cars Phil, but I am not sure where I got them from :-[ Spa 66 has 32 grid spots but I still think we should slim down the selection of cars to give a BoP for ease of handicapping. Seanus/Bacchulum do you have any preferences of what should be included and can they be put into one package?
Spa 66 looks amazing , but the lap time in one of these CanAm cars is still 3m30s.

And that's still with decent aero, as you need a bit to keep it on the track over the bumps.
And I figured it's got the power to push the drag. 8)

Title: Re: Thursday Fun Run 15-02-2018
Post by: Bacchulum on February 10, 2018, 03:49:20 PM
I've u/l sets for the M8C H/W, 917/10 & T260 M/W.
Obviously the M8C set is much more refined, as I just LOVE that sweet music. 8)

More info:
I greatly increased front stiffness while reducing the rear, based purely on modern frequency theory. (a bit of a 'periodic' cheat)
I've also used a medium d/f setting, to help with the bumps, and balanced the CofP to around 48% front (technically a bit too forward but seems to work).
To make it more stable I'd add rear wing (not wicker), as the front is a more dramatic change.

So try my set (with a couple of clicks added rear) Gratulin, it might be more pleasurable (but it's still a beast).
I should be able to help make it even more user friendly, with feedback. ;)

I was thinking the same thing, in the Nissan I am 20seconds slower than Bacchulum (and that was hard work), however I will give his setups a try and see if they help. I think there will be a few of us that may struggle to do fast times, but if we are just happy to lap at a comfortable pace , we may have a race within a race. If we could get a big grid it would be great, I would just enjoy "riding mechanic" in the replays, sitting in with a few of the regular Thursday drivers ;D ;D ;D 8).

Post by: Gratulin on February 10, 2018, 05:02:30 PM
I just tried Baccus' setups and they are much better. However... I am the same - too slow if I want to stay on the track. I've only done one valid lap!

Having said that. These cars are brilliant fun to drive around the Spa 1966 circuit. They will become my demo cars when friend visit!! I love seeing and hearing their reactions when they put their foot down in these things!!

I for one, would not want to deprive the people who can drive these cars, the absolute blast they would have, in a race around this track. I would be happy to have a night off and just "ride mechanic" with the drivers who can control these beasts while enjoying a few beverages  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8).

How long do we want the races to be?
5 laps is ~16m40s while 7 laps is ~23m20s.
I think 11 laps will be too much.

Since 1 lap without crashing is an achievement for me I would say 5 laps is good. The gaps between drivers would be too large after 5 laps.

BTW any idea how much fuel needed by the Nissan per lap?

Not much fun for me, after all those laps practicing and qualifying, had a big crash on lap2, and despite no damage being on, it somehow lost a front wheel. Originally thought I had landed on a bit of track-side rubbish but replay shows a front wheel wedged under the car. :'(

Sorry to hear that GW , I heard you say it over Discord but the impact on you did not sink in , sorry :-[ :-[.

Anyone got any ideas why?

Is it possible to escape back to the pits during an online race?

Yep, you can Esc back to pits but you lose a lap.

This happens to all cars. If the hit is big enough the wheels will travel past the suspension stops quicker than the Physics Engine can keep up with and it loses where the suspension should be. So damage for the car may be turned off but if you hit the algorithm hard enough the Maths breaks.

Thanks Seanus, not many people would have been able to provide the answer :).  I think we forget at times it is all just one's and zero's with  very  leading edge mathamatical  simulations thrown into the mix.

But there's another rule to comply with to make a prime.
Two primes multiplied together can't equal a prime.
Zero times two equals zero, two's a prime so zero can't be. ;)
This rule also excludes one.
