Title: Watkins Glen Chat...
Post by: Bruce on January 29, 2014, 06:59:45 PM
Well humper, the best I can do in the in The Dodge Challenger is 1:27.xx  Hot lap attached for the Challenger.
It is not as fast as the Barracuda, at least with my driving.

The server is set to:
Mechanical Failures : off
Damage: 10%
Tyre Wear: Normal
Fuel: X2

We want to ensure all finish, unless you take it over a fence!  ::)
So, you can't blow the things up! Even if you have HUD monitoring, it will go to 0% but still function.
The Tyres go off at about 91%, but having said that, my best time of 1:27 in the Challenger was set at lap 8 @ ~ 90% wear
Tyres were at 80% at 12 laps
And the fuel lasted 12 laps.

Now that's interesting because based on the live server I had you pegged as doing 25s in the Dodge. Even so I couldn't get near 27s in that bad boy.

Got the Jav into the 26s on occasion now.

I like the way BJ selected the Jav. 1 extra horse and more streer. Wish I'd thought of that.

I had tested all the cars on so many laps getting the tracks together, I am totally confused on what car, when!   :o
Pleased that it was the Dodge, didn't think to look at the stats  :-[   It must have been one of those, "Not going to let Mr Fox out do ma again!" seasons  ;D

Haha I had thought of the analogy of the blues brothers, as I look like Curtis in my suit and hat, I'm glad you boys "have seen the light"

I knew your set up was being difficult, I was being phasisiuos

Race one had a blast racing against humper, we even went side by side through a few corners which was a high light for me over all. Race two we had a pitstop thrown in for good measure which sent all of us rfactor noobs into a state of panick fumbling through my memory bank comming out non the wiser. My pit crew was made up of drunken old lazy man while rpo had a f1 team conducting his pit.

Had a blast, good company and look forward to next week. Well rpo on both wins. Memo to self..... leave the apple peeps alone.

Thanks all great to see a nice field for the first round

Yeah that was a great. I like these cars and the fixed setups.
I spent the first half of the evening talking to myself wondering why no one responded to anything I said.
It's amazing how long I kept going for, until between races I went and looked at TS hotkeys and worked out why no one was talking to me :)

Thought I might have got by Glen in race 1 but clearly he had other ideas. Had plenty of fun trying anyway.

Then come race 2 when boys found the extra 6 degrees of steer the pace seemed to go up. Not sure why but my car seemed quite different in race 2 and I managed to drive straight of the track at turn 1 before the 208 second pit stop? Oh well still enjoyed it all.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, bummer alright, only just got back on-line, problem with Internodes equip at the exchange apparently. Was on hold for 1hr 40  mins last night hoping to get it fixed.  Did a few laps in the arvo and got down to mid 26's, so was looking forward to it. Oh well, there is always next week. See ya then.
