BST Revolution | V8-Johnboy Wins Series 9Finished

[buck1]

Jb I've been hooked on this game for a Solid 4hrs just so I have the cash to buy a 2nd rod, man this is soooo addictive you even have to wait ages for a bite.

I'm lost for words

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Cheers JB. Emptying the glove box should do the trick 👍

Enjoyed last nights races, i think. Although i placed quite well in all races my car seems well off. Since the update things seemed to of changed in the spanners department. Driving felt like trying to hold off a rabid rottweiler
Although, i always laugh when i see a video of a sim racer wearing gloves i might have to pop my biking gloves on next week for grip. Sweaty palms. I'm hoping its just a track thang.

Also, the tyre wear race didnt seem quite as excruciating as i remember. I guess thats a good thing

I'm just waiting on Hancs car choice regarding teams. Then ill pop a press release in the post.

Excuses aside yeah the update did throw things off a bit, took my eye off the ball slightly so hopefully things are a little better now. I'm not sure what you were managing last night Sy I pulled a 38.7 quickly enough this morning with the weight boost and a pretty ropey set up. I do feel this isn't the best track for the Maserati fingers crossed better tracks are down the line and there's always the drop score trump card's.

@Furinkazen Can only laugh at that post.

@neljack and @raceorama123432 Can you guys confirm if you are full time? Gedi has someone else who's interested in joining thanks chaps.👍

I never quite made it into the 39's. I am hoping its just the track as i was all over you guys at Monza (skill) the other week I'm just gonna have to work this whole setup thing out, but cheers JB. Appreciate that 👍

No problem mate iirc you were quite handy around Spa too.

 

[raceorama123432]

@V8-Johnboy I should be full time! I will let you know before a meeting if I can make it!

 

[Roflwaffle]

JB, expect Rofl to be ending up mostly in the gravel whilst his teamie @Siggers does all the work

But there's no gravel at Tokyo

 

[V8-Johnboy]

thanks

I am open for a new teammate or joining anyones team by the way

^ Anyone out on a limb team wise? If so don't be daft enough to turn this chance up

 

[Hancock]

Did a few laps with M5 with a quick setup and managed 38.2. JB try running the M5 with no wing!

 

[Roflwaffle]

Wing is mandatory I thought

 

[Hancock]

Wing is mandatory I thought

Yes it is, but it might be an option to try and balance it out with the rest of the field.

38.2 was with wing at 1450

 

[Gedi69]

38.2's and you say the M5 needs help

 

[V8-Johnboy]

1460kg was probably right then awwwwww

@Hancock can you tell me what you can do at 1460 kg please. Hanc any reason why you cant just fit the wing and knock all the downforce off just a thought.💡

Gedi I don't think m5 needs help, quite the opposite. Lowering DF improves lap time... What I thought was maybe get rid of aero completely to make it more unstable and balance the car that way with power weight. Adding 10kg won't really sort out the issue IMO.

I've no problem with this can you send me some spec figures im happy to try it.👍

Ok bud but I was just on about in the lobby last night when it had a weight cut.

Problem I think is its bonkers good on a hot lap but a bit naff race pace wise. I still say if your theoretically getting pole and building a lead that should be enough especially with precious little draft help now.

I'll explore the no aero option tomorrow can't be doing with it tonight. 1455?

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Gang in discussions to bring back the M3 V8 for the troublesome M5. The update has improved it and a light weight version may just work currently 138.6 around Tokyo with decent straight line speed. Testing other tracks stand by.💡

 

[syjones1]

Managed to find a second last night with the lower weight and some work on the diff. Managed to tighten it up a bit.
39.1xx. Theres more to come but thats just track time.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

@Hancock @Gedi69 (or anyone) will you guys be able to test the M3 at 572bhp and 1350kg please? It's working for me at both Monza and Tokyo in comparison to the Jag, updates turned it around it seems. Put M5 times aside.
The M3 dynamics wise feels more like the current line up so should fit better under race conditions with a bit of luck.👍

 

[Hancock]

I will try it now!

 

[Gedi69]

I can barely get into 39's let alone low 38's, bit pointless me tryingtrying

That doesn't matter mate all I wan't is a comparison to say your individual Viper time.

My viper time was mid 40

 

[Hancock]

JB what setup you using, I'm struggling to hit 38's but it's not had oil change or done any miles, will that make a difference? I'm using 07 coupe m3

Yeah do oil change that will make a little difference. I did the body rigidity also. Car's correct mate do you want me to send my set up through via pm?

 

[Hancock]

Yes please

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Yes please

Ok mate sent.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

My viper time was mid 40

Ok so if you can match that in the BMW?

 

[Hancock]

Who's driving m5? Is it possible for these guys to test the m3, I think it's a better match.

Maybe worth trying it at Suzuka full Circuit as well as Tokyo!

Only Toffe I think (iv'e sent him a heads up PM) which is strange in itself that it only has 2 pilots. Myself and Hanc have tested it guys and chances are the M3 will replace the M5 either way we will have to admit defeat with the M5 it just doen't quite fit (bloody V10's huh Toad). You are of course welcome to try it and switch if you wish. After @Gedi69 has tested it out tonight we will make a formal announcement. 👍
