The imp continously showed wheel spin (lights always on) when I drove it the other night.

It's not really an issue, thought I'd mention it in case it's an easy fix.

However, you spoiled it. I would have said the Mustang and the Audi need some additional weight to balance the field a bit.

I might do another fun run next week with a little parity ballast.

The worst is the exterior/interior car sound imbalance which makes it near impossible to race in close packs.Mod cars should add to AC. For example the 60's/70's British saloons provided by Seanus for the current Thursday season.For early 90's European Touring cars Kunos has already provided us with three very good cars with sorted sound and physics. Those cars are well known and loved online and would attract more drivers. For good close racing pick one of those and add a bit of ballast and restrictor to Joe. I do not feel the cars we did last night would improve a season's racing.

I do not feel the cars we did last night would improve a season's racing.Same thought occurred to me. Why not use the Kunos DTM cars? I know we've got at least the Merc and the BMW. You could add modded ones, but they would have to be made to match the Kunos ones in performance. Once you've picked a car you can adjust audio to suit the particular car.Btw I followed the DTM around that time and I'm pretty sure they had a ballast system based on finishes in the races. I think a win got them some ballast. If you win then again, the same amount of ballast is added again...up to a max weight, but I can't remember details. That obviously contributed to close racing in this series.I find that's a fair system as it should keep distortions in the championship to a minimum. However, it was on an individual basis, not like P1-P5 plus x amount of weight. « Last Edit: December 23, 2020, 01:16:05 PM by killagorilla » Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Fun Run Dec 22 - DTM '91 « Reply #13 on: December 23, 2020, 02:09:33 PM » Thanks for the feedback guys, that's what the fun run was all about. I reckon I've seen a mod somewhere where someone simply balanced the 3 KS cars closer.

(avoid this)I noticed the wins not matching fastest lap times. The differences in lap times seem to give a clear picture about performance...guess Mael's lap is rather an anomaly. Maybe the outcome of last night's races are a bit deceiving.Ballast per result was done in real racing...a lot of probably pretty smart people worked this out and decided going for it. I don't want to sell it...only saying it works imo.
