Did you know?

I haven't...but i think someone here did something like this. It's in the Race Reports section...dang, i'm forgetting who did it and which car.

I've done it for the 1/4 mile with the Midget II. Got 13sec truck??

Here's a little to add into the original Cien debate, I've only driven the car once, and in one location, with no modifications. It's not eligible for that many races, and some of those that it can enter it's waaaaaaaay toooooo much overkill for my liking. This, however, seemed to be perfect match:

Extreme Hall: Like The Wind Race - Test Course
Car: Cadillac Cien '02 (Minimum Downforce) / MR / ?HP (760HP on garage screen) / 1450kg / ?kg/HP (1.9kg/HP using garage value) / 200 A-spec points!

vs. Nissan R390 GT1, BMW V12 LMR, BMW McLaren F1 GTR, PlayStation Pescarolo C60/Judd, Pescarolo Courage C60/Peugeot.

Cadillac had fully customisable transmission and adjustable downforce in stock form! Downforce was minimised for less drag, and an autoset of 18 on the transmission allows for cruising at ~233mph on straights, and upto 250mph while drafting. Took off slowly from the line since I was on stock SM tyres versus everyone elses RM tyres, but once up to speed, the McLaren is reeled in first, giving a speed boost from the draft which allows me to catch the green Pescarolo, and again the slingshot puts me on the tail of the white Pescarolo. The BMW & Nissan who were once 7s in front have had their lead cut to under 5s by the end of lap 1, and after passing the 2nd Pescarolo, it's just a matter of time before I've crept up on them, passing them both in the second turn on lap 3. After that it's an easy cruise to the finish line, and 200 points!

Oh, the Cien definatly has its place. I never said it's totally useless. But "its place" is not anywhere near the Beginner's or Pro leagues! 💡

Yup. And Drifting 24/7 did a fine writeup of his experience, too.
