BST V8 Challenge S3 | COMPLETED

[V8-Johnboy]

Yeah I like that idea stu, sorry but same cars week in weekout would be boring.

Would be quite a noval idea opens things up to all manor of V8s no testing each season just pick 8 V8s 8 tracks and away you go sounds kinda good.👍

BTW Death By Carbon Racing ~ Carb & R35
Team FTR Furi & Tom
RB Racing Bash & Racerpaul.

Might start duping paint chips. 💡

How about 8 races, 8 cars. I know, sounds like what you proposed. But here is the twist. You can use any car on any track, but you can only use a car for one track for the Season. When someone uses the Ford, they can't use it again for the Season.

You might get 6 Fords one week, 0 Fords the next week and 3 the week after. If someone misses a week, then they forfeit a car selected by the Stewards.

No the opposite the Camaro and Corvette are said to be too strong and possibly will be dropped if we cant sort them out.

Ok mate thanks pal, and yeah is a shame about the Aston.

Heres my Fuji F times R/Hards.

Merc~141.864
BMW~141.822
Vette~141.852
Camaro 141.541
Lexus~141.612
Dodge~141.642
Jaguar~142.336 (just couldnt get the power down threw it in incase someone was able to find a really good set up)
Maserati~141.667

Monza.

Merc~149.722
BMW~149.582
Vette~149.279
Camaro~149.952???
Lexus~149.723
Maserati~149.772
Jaguar~149.869
Dodge~149.807

Mustang and Alfa 8C struggled in the 151s/52s so were left out.

I did tons of test laps with various setups all ONLINE only thing i can think off is the tyre update etc (bug possibly??) has effected my test results what with Kings 2 second gap for example even if i have over modded (to much slider use rather than minimal modding and minimal slider use advice left now in post 2) re modding all the cars i guess each time would reflect the same. Gedi is testing hard while im out of things (thanks pal) Andy to is doing a bit for us as is King. Anything else anyone finds will be useful. What personally i dont want is anyone penalized for finding good setups ie. downforce/modd fitting etc i'd prefare we just share information. All these times could no doubt be improved with more set up work.
Testing continues.

 

[Gedi69]

Yep I will be testing all the cars to the max on all tracks over the next week.
I agree with king about the vette and camaro being quicker but sorry not 2 secs faster than the BMW! My BMW is only 0.5 sec slower than the 2 front runners(with room for more) at monza.

 

[Carbonox]

If anyone has a spare BMW with 591hp, can he gift it to me? Mine has only 574hp and it doesn't seem to gather them too quickly.

A spec, professional, supercar, daytona Give it to your bob to run in on this race and it won't take long to run in trust me I'm doing it as we speak.

 

[Carbonox]

I can't watch Bob drive on an oval for even a minute, so I think I'll deal with it myself since B-spec probably still doesn't have a speed up function like in GT4

Yes i agree they are a little quicker i figured more weight would mean more tyre wear bringing the others into their own later in the race i could be wrong Dropping them may be the simple answer we will see.

I prefer my BMW to only be touched by skilled drivers.

Hehe ok then Rp & Carb in a BMW will be worth a watch.

 

[Hancock]

Thanks Hanc all helps Gedi will need to confirm hes got Kings car, the trick is to modd as little as possible meaning less slider use i think.💡

Gedi are you testing offline is so i can put the run in cars on share.

Yeah put them on share but I will need them when I test online and for tyre wear. TY jb

When modding I start with intake and exhaust mods, the more the engine can breathe the better the engine has always been my understanding.

So could you please give me your M3 setup to get a 1:47 at Monza !!

My Camaro does easy 1:47´s and my M3 can´t get under the 1:49 barrier and that with racing Softs !!
=> due to the camaro setting a 1:47.4xx and the M3 being at 1:49.2xx it´s a 2 second Gap *almost*

Offline record with my Vette (which is now at Gedi´s garage): 1:46.777

=> offline isn´t a Testing place for online races
