◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[kendawg]

As the champagne winner of last nights event. I will choose the qualifying track.
Tez you can pick the pp.

Apricot Hill Reverse.

 

[bloodredsky]

Ah I missed out, my b. How did Sarthe go ? Did anyone break 200mph down the straight ?

 

[tezgm99]

Nope, most of us went with an NSX. The highest I got was 186 which was lower than expected given I was drafting and could get 185 by myself

Edit: can I get clarification about the first post please? It says 'should be 100pp away or provide very different splits'. What constitutes enough of a difference if I go with the split for next week?

 

[jobyone]

hmmm.

Well as long as the total PP is 100 away then half of the split can have some overlap. Not sure we need a hard and fast rule. But if one week is 2000 no split then the next week could be 1900 with a split of say 1050/850 but I would not want to see a 1900 split of 1000/900 as that would mean running the same cars.

 

[tezgm99]

Since my original choice has been destroyed by joby's rules ....I'll go with no split and 1580PP. So average of 395, low of 375 and high of 415.

 

[jobyone]

Happy to please...

...oh wait. Well I think 1580 looks like fun

 

[kendawg]

Now @jobyone who gets the drop / add track this week.

We waited for ya. But there was no blood on the track.

Joe jumped out to a big lead then spun out on the second lap. Tez and I then battled for the win.

[kendawg]

@88GTA Next week sounds good to me. I don't even have a lineup made for tonight. So I'm good for some practice tonight if anyone wants to.

Sounds good Ken. I am hoping for a lot more free time next week so I will be more organized.

 

[bloodredsky]

Shall we just postpone tonight until next Thurs then ? That's my suggestion, as I like the car groupings so far. Give everyone some more time to test/buy/grind, etc.
