APR 4 Race: Tesla Roadster Sprints at Tsukuba
Monday April 4 - Lobby Open @ 8:00pm, Race @ 8:30pm Eastern (GMT-4)
Race specs firm; practice with confidence.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This week we'll be doing 4 x 15 lap sprint races with the Tesla Roadster. The Roadster is an all-electric vehicle which means a lot of things, but for this race in particular it means spec racing at it's purest. You can't add any power over stock (electric = no turbo, chips, engine upgrades, etc...) and because it's driven by a CVT transmission there isn't even an adjustable transmission upgrade. The only thing you can do to the car is drop weight. So in the specs below you'll see that I've left all of the vehicle HP/Weight/PP restrictions as "unlimited" meaning you can (and should) do anything you want to the car - i.e. lighten the load.
Please note that I won't be racing or spectating this race (nor listening in via mic). I'll be watching the NCAA D-1 Men's BBall Championship Game at a friend's house. I suspect I won't be alone either, but if you still want to race just join my lounge and enjoy. I'll make sure all the restrictions are set correctly but you'll have to start the races manually.
Also, you guys in the lounge are free to adjust the settings to make for better racing. I.E. if you want to increase races from 15 laps to 30, go for it. Don't wait for me to do it as I won't be checking in.
