just so happens Im working on that very thing

New best friend right here.

Damn I just realized "R.U.O.K. Racing" sounds funnier. Yes, I am okay racing. lol

 

[brntguy]

So Twitch only killed the first part of the broadcast. But the race is intact and a good watch. Heck of a pass by Warden!

Don't think this forums with allow me to embed the vid. First couple of mins the vids muted till after the start of the race then it's all good.

In preparation for season three, I have created a "Spotters Guide" for the series.
Please let me know of any corrections I need to make.

Possibly the even more difficult part would be if @GGGMotorsport didn't have a paint chip already, then he would have to figure out what car has that color, and buy it. Love the detail you put into your league. It truly amazes me.

Thanks guys. Glad you liked it. As for the missing paint chips, some of them were difficult to find as I think I had to buy 6 cars to get the missing chips. and there was only 1 I could not buy but found out what the color was so found a substitute.

Tuning question - how do you quickly fix "lift off oversteer". I really want the Lambo Diablo GT and Diablo GT2 to handle well. I'd love to make some kind of Super Trofeo series y'know?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Has anyone ever thought of a racing series that isn't stock, but has all the cars set to the same regulations? Weight, Power, and Downforce all set to the same numbers. Would it work?

I am having this same issue with these and a few others. Reducing the LSD decel seemed to help a little, but I would also like to know how to fix this.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I went from all stock customizable suspension (set to stock), bought LSD (set to stock), full weight reduction, max downforce. I was also thinking of limiting the power for the sake of a racing series so it's more managable when in groups. I think the LSD made the biggest difference.

I have never drove that lambo before, but from all the time tuning, i notice if you put a really soft front end on any vehicle it will let you drive it the way you want to, for example the lowest number spring rate, with TALL dampers, 10 and 10 and use a soft (1) anti roll bar.....if that doesn't fix it then idk what will.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Seriously? That works?

It may take the over steer out but if you want a little over steer back, good luck trying to figure out which suspension piece makes it balance.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

As I understand the question, you want to cure oversteer (loss of traction to the rear while turning, causing the back of the car to swap ends with the front). I'm no elite tuner, but it would stand to reason you want to induce some understeer in the car. I don't know if what @go6 suggests will work, will take him at his word, but the point is, you need the back tires to stick when you're accelerating. Softening up the rear suspension some should have that effect. Fiddling with the differential settings can help with lift off oversteer as well. Last I looked in the tuning threads, camber is best set at 0s.

 

[Fallen_log]

Finally got my wheel. I suck at driving with it but a few more ajustments on the stand and a lot more practice, I will be ready to go.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I've heard that about camber, in that it's completely useless and is still an issue that needs to be addressed if they want to claim a true physics model. But I'm not that hardcore so whatever. I'll mess with the LSD but only that. Everything else is going stock but with less HP so it's not such a monster.

Since I'm off Wednesdays now I can make a race series then, but I'm really bad at keeping up with that stuff. If someone would like to run the series but give me complete creative control, that would be a great team-up.

What wheel did you get? I'm with a Driving Force GT

 

[Fallen_log]

Fanatec Carrera GT wheel. The force feedback is something I have to get used to.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

That looks nice. I'm googling images and there's one with black pedals and another with silver. Is the shifter sequential or an H-shifter?

 

[euclid58]

just so happens Im working on that very thing

I did not know there was so many others with black, so maybe I can switch to another color if that's OK.
Let me know if that will work.

just let me know what you are going to change too.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Yea there are a lot of dark colors there

 

[euclid58]

Lets just do White/Black then, sorry bout that.. that's final.

 

[euclid58]

Oh... dang near forgot why I came over here for in the first place, I started looking at that cool poster with all our cars on it.. Last nights All Star Event was such a blast to be a part of, I had a really enjoyable time..
Thanks to everyone for making it such a great time..

So are you dropping from this series then?

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Yesterday the series officially wrapped up Season 2 with its season ending All Star Race at the Nurburgring!
Below you will find the official results as @et_ took the win in convincing fashion. Congrats. We had 11 drivers participate this seasons All star race and when the dusted settled, 10 were still on the track. Well done to all the drivers and I look forward to the start of the Season 3 Championship!

Thanks for a great season and hope to see you all next season for the American Muscle Championships!​

There isn't hardly a paint chip Grim has come across that he didn't like. But of course health issues do come with eating lots of paint chips. That's why he has such a thing with stats and numbers. His family refers to him as "Rain Man".

Spotters guide has been updated!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

So are you dropping from this series then?

No, that means I can race in every week from no on until the end of time!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Also, I just meant I would like to start a racing series with everyone in the same car (like this one), but obviously earlier in the day since this series takes place at night.
