BST V8 challenge -COMPLETED

[RacerPaul]

Hi all Yeah, quali is going to be a bit of a bind. Has to be done though. But do you push for a good
position and risk chucking it off, or take it steady and get a solid lap in and see where it gets you?

I'll be taking the smooth and steady approach 👍

[Gedi69]

Me to!!

[Furinkazen]

No qualifying for me, just a sprint race simulation / 50% race simulation.

I want another pole so you know my answer.

No, it's NFC, Nordschliefe Fried Cars.

My fastest lap was offline
=> you don´t start in the pits
=> no Tire wear
=> Not a "legal" lap xD

A qualifying simulation (Out lap and 2nd lap as the flying one):
8:33.439 => you get plenty of tire wear because you already drove a Lap.
Maybe you can go faster if you make a super slow out-lap (I did a hand stopped 8:38 out lap which is probably too fast for the Tires xD)

Lol

 

[Culkin]

Hey guys I wont be taking part in any of the 2 meets for the last round on monday, I absolutely detest the Noob-boring lol and would be better off on a lawnmoawer I spend that much time on the grass plus im not in the championship and the last thing you guys need is me on track spoiling the fight for points

Good luck to all and see you in the Monaro Cup 👍

I'm thinking the same culk

 

[RacerPaul]

Hi all Well, I'm all set up and ready for tomorrow. From what I've seen of times, I'm ok for pace. I'm resisting the
urge to practice loads because although the old adage is 'practice makes perfect', I believe you can do too much

Good luck all, lets make it a grand finale!

 

[Milldrum]

Has anyone radically tuned their car? I'm talking about having no aero or adjusted the gearbox to have only 4 effective gears.

 

[KingSakery]

No I only did my Nürb softening of the Suspension (and raising it a little). My Tranny fits perfect for the long Straight (there is some room for drafting) and that´s it. (Normally I´m in 3rd and 4th Gear on the Schleife sometimes in 5th => only 3 useable Gears xD)
Hope I don´t screw my race laps (once in the Sand => it´s over)

No, mine sounds much like Sakery's. A bit higher, a bit softer and enough on the gearbox for a bit of a draft on the back straight

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm using my Laguna set-up...

 

[Gedi69]

ive found that soft suspension works well on here,but im still no where near everyones pace so i think a nice sunday drive is in order and hope to pick off ppl when they make castles.

 

[UncleBoB]

My best is 8.21 , still some mistakes made, But i doubt that anyone can do a lap without making a mistake

What kind of mistake, a drift, missed apex? Or spinning?

 

[UncleBoB]

bit of driving on the grass, bit on the sand Also, it seems I can't to find the apex in couple of corners

I cant get anywhere near these times.

 

[jackargent]

I cant get anywhere near these times.

Ho hum. Me neither. I'll just be out for a pleasant drive in the country.

I do like the ring but need to get.in another 10,000 laps or so before I begin to know it. More.than 75% of the lap on that thin grey strip counts as success for me.

It will be a nice farewell for my maserati before it goes for a little rest.

See you on the track (& on the grass & in the sand)

I'm slower than a slow thing around the ring jack so hopefully we'll be on the same pace 👍
