This Sim is going to be around for a long time. It hasn't even been released yet! Regarding the "super ranking", if you look at the all time stats that I link to in the race results, there is a column there like "Ranking" or something. The smaller the better. What that indicates is, on average, where you finish out of a grid of 100 cars.

What's more he whistles binary at 4.6 Ghz, and if overclocked using liquid cooling he can push up to 5 Ghz. After that he overheats, crashes and sits in the corner wearing his underpants on his head, rocking back and forward sucking his thumb.

There's little happening in these cars, and since there's no bump drafting, overtaking is extremely hard. We had a train of cars going, and that's it until someone makes a serious mistake, which isn't that often since the car is very forgiving.I really-really recommend against a season with this car right now (with bump drafting it'd be a different matter, probably) Logged Glen73 Administrator Full Member Posts: 898 Karma: 32 Re: Poll: Car for season 2 « Reply #39 on: July 02, 2014, 10:04:22 PM » I removed my vote, c'mon Bird, 99c and it's yours.......

Bump drafting is what they use in NASCAR when one car bumps the other car in front from behind to increase it's speed while the trailing car doing the bumping also gets an increase in speed from the slip-stream. They do this multiple times on a straight to draw away from a pack or just because it increases the overall pace around a track.Will be interesting to see how the Tatuus goes in a race. Hopefully it leads to close racing... maybe we can give it a run Thursday night? The race a few of us had the other night seemed to be nice and close.

Seasons are still short, remember, with the goal of trying lots of cars. Whatever car we choose will be fine.And remember, Bird, not everyone hates wings Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2324 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: Poll: Car for season 2 « Reply #42 on: July 03, 2014, 05:36:38 AM » It's not the wings this time, Wally. The car is nice to drive, but boring to race under the current circumstances, that's all.And sorry Guybrush I mean slipstream. I don't know nascar at all, so I thought the two were synonymous. Btw, Wally, can you tell us what exactly is the setup you're running for the race nights? Which instance, which windows and if you don't mind; which server version? Thanks. We had a bit of problems in AACL last night (server crashes). Trying to get to the bottom of it.
