I've got a feeling it's got too much restrictor.

It looks like maaaybe the short tail is a bit fast and needs a little restrictor. A bit more testing required.

It looks like maaaybe the short tail is a bit fast and needs a little restrictor. A bit more testing required.I tested Spa in the shorty at your '2 stop' fuel multiplier (2.9 correct?) and needed 317 litres for 1 hour, with a 99 litre tank. Which car did you work out the multiplier in?I think the shorty has a smaller tank than the others, maybe an equalizer?

Which car did you work out the multiplier in?I think the shorty has a smaller tank than the others, maybe an equalizer? They all have 100l tanks, but fuel economies vary (the short tail has the worst economy). I tested at two different season tracks that worked out to 2 stoppers for all cars, but different tracks may give different results.I'm thinking that with the variables, the cars and multipliers should be fine. I like the dilemma of having to balance pace with fuel economy. And the long tail does weird things with rear tyre wear (with the default setup, at least).

I have revised the multipliers to:2.4x for a 2-stopper1.5x for a 1-stopper 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” Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11036 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Need more Porsche Long Tail times! « Reply #9 on: November 03, 2018, 12:58:29 AM » I have reset the Porsche times on the practice server. I'm trying 50% restrictor for the short tail, and no restrictor for the long tail.

The top 4 times (different people, admittedly) are in each of the 4 cars.

Thanks. I'm happy with how the times are looking now, bearing in mind the differences in drivers and tracks. Quote from: Phil.8 on November 03, 2018, 08:31:59 PMhow do you do a 2.12 in the merc, I cant get it around a lapMy thoughts exactly. It's a funny beast, the Merc. Prodigiously fast in a straight line, but slow in corners. It would take some learning to get the most out of it, but could be a weapon in the right hands. It also has the best fuel economy, so would give you the most pitstop flexibility.
