I am surprised ballast slows these cars so much, only 40kg and my times have gone from 1.33.7, with probably half a second to find, to cannot do better than a 1.35.5 and have to put the brake bias so far froward to counteract what I can only presume, being all the weight is over the rear end

Maybe that's too much :( If you win two races in a row (120Kg) you might as well stay in the pits and watch the race next week...

I just did some testing with 40 kg ballast, and it slowed me down by 1.1 seconds. That might be a bit excessive, although a 1:35.5 still puts you in 10th place on the lap times: http://52.65.162.16:50041/lapstat?currservers=XGN%20Tuesdays.


I'll reduce the ballast a bit to 15kg, 30kg and 45kg (practice server updated).


Note there's a ballast app offline (one of the dev apps, so you have to have that enabled) where you can set your ballast to whatever you want for testing.

Ballast sucks...big time.It is a shame that the pit waiting is not working cause it would have been the ideal solution.

Hey Wally,
How about reducing the 60kg I have for the incident last week (which I still claim is undeserved).

Yeah, OK, I'll make that 45 as well.

Sure mate. I have no idea how to make a video, so grab the replay from here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/s3vjod825d1r3e4/ks_praga_r1%40spa-spa_osrw_20170131211639.7z). You will see the incident on lap 1. I hope you can see the pedal app.
As I see it, you squeezed  past on the turn (good pass), Then as we straightened up on the exit, you applied power, I applied power, then for whatever reason you cut power and slowed. As I was close behind, the tap occurred and you touched the wall. Then I braked for you to rejoin in front of me. You can see the accelerator positions on the pedal app by switching to the appropriate car.
I don't want to make a big deal of this, but I believe it was just a racing incident. However, I accept the decision of the stewards (even if I don't agree  ;D ;D)
