Bob and La Sarthe top speed...

[Disavowed]

Anyone else having problems with Bob being unable/unwilling to get to top speed with the X1 in La Sarthe? It looks like he's feathering the throttle in top gear and not willing go past 380kph on the straights. Meanwhile, he'll barrel through the back S turns @ 390+ kph.

Did you change the oil?

Yesterday Bob raced his 1st endurance, Grand Valley and he hit over 400 kph for a second in the main straight.

La Sarthe is to bumpy, maybe it cannot hit more speed.

Yup, that's with a fresh oil change. I had thought that perhaps the suspension was too stiff for La Sarthe's bumpy track so I went in and drove the X1 myself. I passed 410kph without any problems whatsoever... bumpsteer was controllable, no white knuckle antics...

Bob never drives as quick as you will, i can lap indy over 2 seconds quicker than my top Bob, When your in the X1 with Bob you are that far in front that i don't really think what speed he hits is a problem

Very true LoL! But it just baffles me that he's unable to hit top speed in La Sarthe hehe.

its because of the faux traction control that bob uses. he will feather the throttle when he loses grip.

He can't go 400+kph or his tail comes off...

Haha! Just ran Bob at La Sarthe in the rain in "full boil" mode and he finally broke 400kph!
