<- BTCC-6 -> Season Complete - skengdigi is the first double Champion!

[Ian_83]

I agree. It's an amazing car and probably too quick for the BTCC even at 1400kg.

Why the CSL and not an ordinary M3?

 

[mrbrendon999]

I was on the verge of rage quitting on Autumn Ring while trying to keep up with the CSL. It is so much faster than an FF on the handling tracks and also just as fast (if not faster) on the power tracks too. It has flipped the ballance and made it far worse than it is already.

I agree (even though i don't mind 'cause my dodge matches it ). But i believe it may have a nice change a fr winning instead of 90% ff

 

[Ian_83]

If the FR is as quick as an FF on the power tracks and quicker than an FF on the twisty circuits too, the FR will more than dominate. Put it this way, I don't drive FR's all that well, but if the CSL gets introduced I will be using it.

I see by the way what times you getting on HSR now

 

[Ian_83]

1:12's. Not as quick as you. I haven't had much practice yet.

Ah k mate I'm not practicing cause i cant get any faster. I'm low 12s/occasional high 11.

 

[SkengD]

Brendon might make a late charge for the title with the speed he has now .

Ha yeah that's what I'm aiming for

 

[Ian_83]

I'm not going to make it easy.

That Dodge has some serious pace though, I think it has the top end out of the cars this season, so it should do well around HSR and I'm expcting Bren to win one race. It'll give him something else for his signature.

My Alfa is okay around HSR, it's nothing special though so I'm expecting to be fighting it out with the Ford's again. I'm usually in a Ford sanwich each race.

Aye mate look forward to those battles, and those ford sandwiches appear alooot. I wonder how tasty they are

 

[SkengD]

My 1 lap pace is bad but its a draft race so I should be able to get a few podiums .

Not great as I'm usually the filling.

Skeng - I'm aiming to do exactly that, draft my way to as many points as possible. Podiums and/or wins are a bonus.

Ha xD, looks like im gonna be watching my rear view none stop down the straights, wont make it an easy overtake

 

[Ian_83]

Is Stig doing better on HSR? He struggled on GVS.

Slipstream is very effective around HSR, I hung onto the back of a GT300 RX7 for 7 laps. I managed a low 1:11 behind him.

Stigs doing very well, the alfa i gave him is difficult but fast, and he's doing good times in it. I manage 1:11.2 behind rolo on start of lap

Done a 13.01, the car is very fast and is much more responsive however it locks up and has become tail happy lol, so to get quicker lap times, I just need to master the car, more than I need to learn the track, opposite case to grand valley

If it locks up just continue turning, if the tail goes out loose off steering and throttle for sec then put them back on or just continue trying to steer, i understand the problems i had them at first but get used to them and you'll be a bullet bill

 

[Ian_83]

It shouldn't be locking up Stig. Check your ABS and brake balance.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster...not looking where your going...Lol...your better off holding your line and make them go the long way around you then pick up the slip as they pass you....

Haha mate, only down straights but yes i shall do that

Its my setups, they are sharp on the brakes, but allow you to turn well while breaking rather then plowing straight on

50 odd laps is a lot to do at HSR in a loose car and not expect to have some big accidents. Especially when you factor in having to share the track with a dozen or so other cars. I'm going for stability over outright speed (kind of have no choice tbh but ...) Anyway, most of the passes happen on the straights so there's no need to be crazy quick in the corners. If you gear it right and run no wing you should be fine in any of the FFs. No need for suicidal suspension/brake settings!

 

[canyondrifter]

^^ Is my teammate giving advice to the opposition?

Not at all...I'm just pointing out an amusing point of view ... besides I wouldn't want you to A have too easy of a race and B I wouldn't want to hear how you lost due to a silly accident that cost you dearly on the last lap.

Well said that man

Very true. One mistake costs a lot of time on such a high speed track. Simply rubbing the barrier in the final turn can loose 3 or 4 seconds. Playing it safe is a good call.

I see your point, he does have a good gear and no wing on Alfa, i put the fastest setup i could on it for him , as for me i prefer the crazy cornering as its suited to me, and to be honest, if i drive smooth im alot slower, but i don't crash when i drive agressive.

The only real issue is that we all have our own driving style and your style may be far different to the Stig's.

Canyon and I have a slightly different driving style (mine is better), our tunes don't always match, but we both get the job done. Personally my biggest issue is my tyre wear, which is far greater than Canyon's which is due to the way I throw the car around.

You would love for me to have a shocker of a race day wouldn't you, number 2?

Besides, I'm not going to be behind Brendon.

Ive noticed im similar to you at driving, like to throw car around etc, and yes i took that into consideration, the Alfa i gave stig is actually alot smoother then my cars but almost as fast (in my hands) i got a challenge for you guys by the way, after the season ill let you all know my GVSr setup and i want to see if you can drive the srt4 round there just for fun, and good luck getting in front of me

I'm up for a challenge after the season ends...but bear this in mind...how will you feel if after a whole season of getting to know your car what it's going to be like losing to someone who only just got given it? Lol...exact same setups for the race ...then another with minor tweaks to suit our own personal driving styles ...allowing us a little practicing time of course....
