Completely opposite for me. I'd like to get a win in every drive format. I've had FWD and 4WD. Just need RWD now

Tried a 4WD, didn't like it... (only in GT5 though)

I know, remember me and you drafting in Q for like 5 laps round HSR, you in the VW, me in the Audi.

That R1 got me my only podium in T8... that season's what spoiling my average in ToCA stats (finished inside the top-3 in every other season so far)

Early testing at BH Indy (some with decent setups, some with very, very basic setups, some with apparently bad setups):

4 cars in the 47.1-47.3 range.
2 cars at about 47.7. (those coincidentally were the basic setups)
1 car at 48.0.
1 car at 48.6. Ahem. And that was with a setup from a well-known tuner. No idea how to get 1.5s out of that one.

What's a little scary is that at least 2 cars among the fastest also seemingly have great top speed.

Really.

 

[Furinkazen]

Really.

@snowgt message me back your results and i'll forward to the testers. Also an en masse test tomorrow should result in a fair lot of data to be collected. Be Brands Indy and Cape South methinks.

This, I'm aware that some of the cars might need tweaking. So details are needed.

Honda needs a radical setup. Super soft front/hard rear and no rear camber works decent.

Good god, no. Don't go super soft on the front to give oversteer. Sure you'll get more oversteer but the car will be horrible on entry. I wouldn't go more than 2kgf/mm softer/harder on an end on spring rate. Use the other variables.

I might go 3kgf/mm on a really imbalanced car.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Yeah that was a serious post from me (no really). I don't want to drive the Renault again, had enough of full lock round corners and waiting till out of the corner to get back on the throttle.

Are you going independent?

 

[Ninners]

Are you going independent?

Hello. Can I sign up? Or do I need to wait till after Saturday?

GTP Name: Andil
PSN Name: Moieman
Number: #77
Car: Volvo
Team: Independent

Thank you please.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Well damn, Furi is screwed already

 

[Furinkazen]

Well damn, Furi is screwed already

Not quite

 

[Ninners]

Andil is probably going to miss a few rounds it seems.

At least it won't have an effect on the HSR Teams Title Charge this Season

 

[Furinkazen]

Correct. Because you never were going to be contenders anyway

 

[snowgt]

Would not surprise me if Lexus or Honda.

Let me put it this way…the Lexus is in my top 4.

 

[Furinkazen]

Let me put it this way…the Lexus is in my top 4.

I've heard either top or bottom track pending.

My ranking:

1. Renault - easy to drive out box.
2. Volvo - not as quick initially but much more settled and sharper.
3. Nissan - Very sharp all around.
4. Alfa - good all around.
5. Mazda - tests shown it to be near the very top but for it isn't suited.
6. Hyundai - feels good but not had that much mileage.
7. Honda. Just a bit too weighty and tricky to drive.
8. Lexus - Just can't get it to work for me.

 

[raceorama123432]

Currently at 47.4

Edit: Had a go in a certain French FWD and couldn't break the 47's, move to RWD good I'd say

1. Nissan

3. Volvo
4. Renault
5. Mazda
6. Lexus
7. Alfa
8. Honda

For me anyway. All were in the low 47s though, with one sneaking into the 46s. No doubt that most of the cars are capable of high 46s.


Bonus points for guessing who's are RWD fan.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I've only tested a few but so far:

1. Hyundai (Better at fast tracks i.e. Monza)
2. Nissan (Very sharp handling but struggles at bigger tracks)
3. Alfa (All-round solid car)
4. Renault (Pretty solid but just not on par with Alfa)
5. Honda (Simply awful)

 

[Scaniabebe]

You won't be either
On the subject of the Megane, the HSR Test Driver has got a 47.309 out of it at Brands Hatch Indy... Not a bad effort!

 

[Ninners]

I got 47.1 in the Volvo at Brands, didn't like it that much round there.

Ours has a 47.1. You lose.

Mind you, our test driver does have a dislocated thumb...

You're the test driver...?

I'm not.

Oh.

I should say that this isn't the list in order of lap time, it's my preference. In terms of lap time the list would be slightly different.

RWDs are looking good this season 👍

 

[Yeratel84]

Furi, while checking car specs on OP, as I'm building all the cars to test later, noticed a couple mistakes in the spec sheets...

Alfa: PL value missing (it's 90.5% by the way)
Mazda: Wrong rim size (it only allows standard size)


Also, just giving my opinion... cars using +2 rims look awful...

 

[Scaniabebe]

I agree.. I think the wheels on the Megane are ugly (that's any of them with 2" up).
