Here's how this is worked out.
1. The slowest Exige 240R S3 was Dick. He can't be given a faster car. His lap time is the baseline.
2. Phil and Imperious were slower than Dick. They can have a faster car, based on their gap to Dick's lap time. In Phil's case, he went from an Elise S2 to the slightly faster BMW 1M. Imperious steps up from an Elise to an Elise S1.
3. Everyone else needs a slower car, based on their gap to Dick's lap time. For example, Gratulin was 1.09 seconds faster than Dick, in his Exige 240. He needs a car that is 1.09 seconds slower than an Exige 240, which is the Elise S2.
There are 10 in the elise sc....I still maintain that the baseline should not be at the slowest. Maybe not at any extreme end. In the middle, probably. Also, potentially, the extremes should be dropped from the calculation...I already filter out extremes. With this selection of cars and lap times, the spread of Elise's cover a lot of the lapttime differences. The baseline has to be the slowest, because you can't make him faster as he's already in the fastest car. You can only make other people slower.
It's done by the numbers. It will never be an exact science, with different guys, different cars, different tracks. How I'm doing it now is how it's going to be done for the rest of the season.

You tell em Wally! Threaten to put them all in Z4s if they don't like the magic number system..

Lol just noticed the Z4 for guy edit, I was the one questioning your authority and got him screwed over. Dont think that would be much fun for him but we can all beep our horn as we lap him so be fun for everyone else. :D

I deliberately drove around at 90% throttle last night to make sure I would be slowest. ???
I feel like I am responsible for everyones car selection next week! lol
Grats to Wally for putting Guybrush in a Z4
Grats to my team mate Cramjet. We are 3rd on team standings.... ok fine two races in.... shut up Marty!

Would have been an even better result if I didn't run us both off in that last race!
Last night was the most fun I've had in any racing sim. The field was so bunched up you'd go from one battle to the next - it was great fun holding onto the back of a lotus through the bends before gunning it past 2 or 3 of them down the back straight :D The different way each car put down a lap makes for some awesome racing.
Wally, who had the highest top speed? Or is there no way to know?
Let's hope they add more stat gathering abilities. I'd like to see a quick summary after each race, who got the fastest lap, highest top speed, best position gains and losses.In the race stats, I do show your move from your qualifying position. In theory, I could work out the total passes and losses, but only as at the end of each lap. I.e if you pass someone and they pass you back in the same lap, I wouldn't know. I only know if you finish a lap in a higher or lower position than you started.
Hi Wally, can you could flick the practice server across to Castle Hill please?

At least it's only the PCU and not the CPU.Hi Wally, can you could flick the practice server across to Castle Hill please?

after about 5 laps.

Going to say Castle Hill runs poorly compared to other modded tracks on my PC. I get the PCU warning a fair bit here.

Seems the handicap is working quite well was fun running some lap with Dick and Guy. Dick was more on pace and the 3 of us were fairly close. I was able to pass guy which doesnt happen all that often and dick was pressuring us both.I think Dick learnt "nice" from you and guy ;D 8)
Dick still needs to understand how to race nice with others but I predict he will do better and so be involved in accidents further up the pack this round then just hitting those at the back of the pack like he normally does. ;)
I'm in the 1:10s but realistic laptime is 1:11s in the Elise S2. I just lose the front-end. Need to learn over-steer driving style. Understeer washes off too much speed.

not bad. not bad.. Guybrush was doing low 1:06s in the Z4 yesterday.
Well? what times are we all doing?
I'm 1:10.0something. Could break 1:09 maybe...
Exige 204R s3
My PB in the Elise is a 10 flat.
Don't forget that if the Elises end up being "too slow" people will automatically get faster cars.

I wouldnt mind an elise for the full season as its possible to get some pace out of it, just more of an issue with the z4 id rather avoid on any larger track. ;)
I know this is an AC forum however...
I found that the Training section that comes as part of Live For Speed http://lfs.net (http://lfs.net) was invaluable in teaching me the basics for car control. It teaches you braking, cornering, starts etc.
The other benefit to LFS is that it runs on "less powerful" PCs very well since it is an older generation sim. For example, if you are struggling to get 50fps in AC you will exceed 100fps in LFS quite easily.
The Demo is free and comes with 3 cars plus Blackwood and, I think, includes the Training module.
I may or may not make this race tonight. Some family crap has popped up and not sure I'll be in the right head space although a good race might take my mind of things! Hope to see you guys there - sorry if I'm not!You're still on the grid so jump in if you can.
Well, it was an interesting night. I was never going to hold onto the Elise's in my little (big?) Z4, but it was fun trying to get as much as I could out of it to keep up with Wally and co. while fending off Freezer.
Still, I was happy with my efforts as most qualifying and race laps were around my PB taking into account fuel loads and tyres... but still over a second slower than Marty. There is no easy way to bring everyone together without ballast so I'm happy to be mixing it with a few others, even if it means the championship isn't viable for me.
Overall it was a fun night. The first race I was on my own pretty much, separated by a bit to the car in front and behind, so that was uneventful. The second race I was behind Wally for most of it but couldn't past as I just didn't have the speed into/through/out of the corners or the brakes to try a move. Eventually Freezer got right behind me and I had to defend the big boy for the last couple of laps. That was fun. The third race Wally was on my tail, a little bit behind, but I felt I had to defend into the corner after the wiggly bit due to the braking difference between the cars, but I went a bit long which let him past and I had no hope of catching him after that.
Overall I think I passed only 1 car on track over all of the 3 races, but still had fun. It would be good if we could find another set of cars with similar performance differences for next season and do the same thing.
Oh, and I quite like Dicks skins. I knew straight away what kind of car was in front or behind me just from the colour. Good work Dick.
Race 3 i had major lag issues, I caused 2 bad incidents very sorry for thatI wouldn't worry about it Viper. Blame the netcode. There are a lot of randomly jumping cars, like the bad old days of the old netKar. I forbid you from pulling out.
Until i can fix my issues i will pull out of this season
Again, very sorry to Dav o and Grubbet i think it was

Apologies to Schmittez whom I tagged after getting a better run out of the 2nd last turn and spun him in one of the races.
