Chase for NASCAR Sprint Cup S2 Champs: RFLX_Niop, Hendrick, Chevy

[Knelly]

Yep, in the speed test. New time above. Looking for the 200 now.

 

[DrifterJoe]

My Daytona setup (minus its small amount of aero) got me 194.0mph.

That was my starting point, with my Daytona setup.

What % is your power limiter at? 0.1% may make a difference. Mine is at 56.4%.

197.2mph now.

EDIT: 199.9mph.... I went from 199.8 to 199.9 right near the end.

 

[Knelly]

Same percentage.not surprised you just jump in and crush my time . Is 200 possible?

Can't get more than 199.9

Finished for now but the challenge is set.

I forgot about something that apparently only works for offline physics.

206.5mph (332.3km/h)

Wow. 503 BHP on racing hards? Good job.

Yep, 502/503bhp from the power limiter on 56.4% and racing hards. What I did for the extra 6.6mph shouldn't actually work, but does. (thought apparently only offline)

On Playstation blog they posted a routine scheduled maintenance for today 8 am until 9pm PST. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/01/18/playstation-network-scheduled-maintenance-2/

 

[DrifterJoe]

Any idea what speeds we'll hit at Route X in the race? I've only run in full BHP rooms.

Can't remember mate. Thought we tried it in Niops room the other day but not entirely sure.

United Kingdom = England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

 

[JakobNascar88]

R u kidding me that PSN is down tonight?

Really?

Expanding upon what Mudd said, I do believe two-car tandems will be the preferred way of getting around SSRX, which is kinda cool since you can't really do it at Daytona (which is the way it should be, lol). You can stick with a group of tandems if your by yourself but you can't go forward without a drafting partner. My opinion: the person(s) who are able to perfect a two car draft in SSRX's tricky turns will be the winner of the race.

 

[Knelly]

Managed a top speed now of 202.9. Catching you up Joe

 

[Furinkazen]

193.2 with Daytona set up. A start.

Is the room you're opening tonight NASCAR at SSRX Furi?

 

[DrifterJoe]

I can hit the same speed online as offline, but I hadn't tried anything other than going straight before with the setup. It's horrible.

 

[Knelly]

I bet man. Scared to try it out. Just hit 203.6 while typing. I can find more.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I reduced part of my setup so that I'm now getting 199/200mph and it's a little better in the corners. The main problem in the corners now is that the car rocks back and forth in them. Time to sacrifice some more speed for handling.

Join my room when you want to try it online.

 

[Knelly]

I will but later on mate. Not got seat and wheel out. Going old skool at the moment.

Edit 204.3

 

[DrifterJoe]

I found out which setting was ruining my handling in the turns, and I've adjusted it fully in the opposite direction now.

I was getting 192mph with this setting maxed out, so I reduced another setting all the way and got back to 194mph. So my top speed on my own while online with a full tank of fuel is 194mph (on the back straight, not the front straight with the elevation change).

So, do "The Spints" have a category for 'most hilarious quote'?
