FRL~ToCA11~GTP #1~ CHAMPIONS: Ninners (RPM-ECM), AMD87 (Alfa) Team SYM (Nissan)! FINAL TABLES UP!Open

[Akmuq]

I'm doing this on the last weekend:

Playing crazy golf?

 

[Ninners]

RC cars as obstacles.

 

[Roflwaffle]

RC cars.

No, the cars are the obstacles

 

[Ninners]

Good point.

[Ninners]

I prefer karting.

 

[gokartman78]

I prefer karting.

Karting sucks.

 

[Ninners]

But you're gokartman right?

 

[Bo]

I had to quit karting because of injury

 

[Spurgy 777]

Karting sucks.

Cars are much more fun

 

[Ninners]

Especially when abroad you're parents allow you to drive their Ford Ranger with a messed gear lever which would jam constantly, I was heading straight into a barrier which was alongside the gate by my house and my Dad yanked the handbrake(which was down by the pedals, unlike modern cars) I was so close to totalling our new car.


Of course this was when I was quite young. Before I witnessed by cousin take a wing mirror off his car and another, it was as funny as hell.

The other guy was so angry

Yea, but racing makes you realise that it is like any other form of motorsport. The person with the biggest wallet always wins, and that will never change. With karting it's worse because there is no limit on testing or engine regs etc. I had to stop because I couldn't afford it anymore. I crashed and the cost to fix would have been about £1,000. To someone outside the sport that may seem like a lot, but in karting people can spend that kind of money in an hour. I can confidently say that the amount of money spent on my racing over the past 3 years would come to a value which the people I was competing against would spend in a month. It takes the fun out of it, and you end up racing people of a poor caliber.

Sums up my life.

I quit for a while too because I got thrown off one. I didn't run professionally though, just for fun.

 

[Michelin]

I never drove/raced a kart.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I rolled over a kart. That's my claim to fame.

This is also why karting at higher levels just seems ridiculous to me, the amount of money people spend to win in karting is often more than it costs to win in cars - just bizarre..

Isn't that how it should be.


I think you means the opposite of what you said.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Karting is only meant to be a bit of fun, and possibly a launch pad for future Motorsports. It gets too serious at higher tier competition.

Get back on topic.

Will probably actually use the Nissan, so 👍

Furi, I think the specs on the Civic aren't right. I got to the PP and power it says, but without ECU.

It shouldn't have Intake Tuning.

It does have Intake Tuning, but you need to use Power Limiter to drop to the designated values... last season without ECU power and PP were the same but with PL at 100%...

Pretty sure it shouldn't have the ECU. I ran testing with the same spec as last season.

But maybe Furi thought it needed a straight line boost, I don't know.

Wow, I think we've all been testing with different specs.

 

[Scaniabebe]

Going to get a couple of Meganes up to Spec And see what's what today...

EDIT: @Furinkazen - just thought I'd let you know that you made a Typo on the Renault's Information... On the description about it on the last line, it's not "it's", it's "its"

It's kinda strange indeed... he said to me beggining of the week when we were reviewing the spec sheets on OP. Although the Civic with ECU installed but limited to same power (342) only means a very slight change in torque figures, unnoticeable on laptimes...
