Some feedback on yesterday:
1) I doubt I'm gonna be using a car like that again, I got very little side-by-side action. Which is understandable. I think in race 2 Iain got wide in the last corner and I dove inside. No sure he saw me, but when he decided to come down a contact that wouldn't have been too bad in some other car ended with a case of me pinballing him all over the lawn. Sorry, Iain. I tried giving him a push down the straigh after that and apparently that's a bad idea too.
2) I stand by my opinions expressed before. Especially banning the AWD when rear-drive cars are allowed.
3) For race 4 I switched to the car that has a ton of downforce. I suppose it could've been fun if I ran it before. That way people would've been expecting me on their insides/outsides in the esses. Sorry Cote.
So I suppose if everyone shows up in an SUV for Cape ring race, high-downforce car car pass them in the esses. If not, I expect the winning combination to be a car that's slow by unpasseable through both sets of esses (effectively running good laps for inself, but slowing everyone else down relative to the target).
Have fun, I'll be back in January, running mid-pack with a car I enjoy.
Good feedback and it's all stuff we considered before so I'll put it into the DeadNutsEven perspective. I'm going to use your feedback and experience as the example so don't think I'm singling you out even though I am..lol.
I'd be awfully disappointed in this group if the field for Cape Ring was full of SUV's and trucks but I would bet the farm it isn't likely. The whole vibe we're trying to create here is a friendly place to gather and race, where talent is equalized by everyone qualifying and being able to run the same laps times. If winning was the primary goal, we would have 8 SUV's in the next race but in dozens upon dozens of races going back to the Parity League that hasn't happened and I doubt it will start now.
From the beginning, back in the days of Parity Racing, we all realized that there was a way to game the system. In the very first race I think it was, our host Mike showed up in the Dodge Ram at Nurb GP/D and someone else (DitQuois?) was in an Elise the rest of us were in the usual assortment of street cars. I believe Mike's opinion at the time was that although it qualified under the rules it didn't make for good racing to have such a big vehicle on the track that was so off pace in the corners, kind of blocking the way. I don't believe it ever showed up again, nor do I recall any other vehicles of that nature making an appearance but we didn't change any rules to make it illegal to use it, the guys, of their own volition, just decided not to use it or vehicles like it.
The kind of unspoken, underlying current, was that the better drivers (which Mike was) would not go out of their way to take advantage of the system in some way because
victory was not as meaningful as good close racing where if you do win, it's likely because of racecraft and talent, as opposed to picking the class of vehicles that games the system, whether they be big heavy tanks, or race cars or what have you.
On the other side of the coin, some of the slower drivers can use the advantage the comes with the 4wd or downforce of a race car because it gives them a little more consistency and a better shot at finishing on the podium, even with the couple of small mistakes that they are likely to make during the course of an event. To take the option of that advantage away from them, makes it that much harder for them to be competitive and discourages their participation to some degree which is not our purpose here.
So I guess you could say we've never really focused on going to extremes to find a winning combination before, most of us show up in cars that we just enjoy driving, that, like IForce mentioned earlier, might be cars that aren't competitive in head to head PP racing, but which are fun to drive and can be perfectly competitive under this formula. I have always liked that Vette I drove last night, but it's not competitive in head to head PP battles, but is still fun to drive. I drove behind IForce last night and realized the DeLorean had a great exhaust sound so now it'll be on my list of cars to drive. Track's GTO looked nice and sounded pretty good so it'll be on the list too. But the Range Rover is not on my list because it's too far off pace, but then again neither is the GSX-R for the same reasons. I want to be in their mixing it up with everyone else, not way out in front at some points on track and way behind in others.
So you could say I'm glad, we're all glad, you arrived at the conclusion you did about the heavyweights. Hopefully it means that you're in the DeadNuts way of thinking, that competing and battling is the main goal and winning is just the cherry on top
or any request for tune and test, just holler at me, if I have the car in my garage, I'll give it a go
