How do you guys like this?

The more I look at some of these liveries, the more certain I am that S2 will be better than S1. We might be a little down on raw numbers, but hopefully that's just all the post-once-never-care-again types done with :)
 
The first official spec test has been performed with two of each car competing directly against each other in a short race. To make a long story short, the BMWs are extremely quick (especially on the acceleration front) when they're not caught up in traffic, but they're not the most fuel efficient. To further test the fuel efficiency part, I took them back to Nardo and gave each car 5 liters of fuel. Both the Ferrari and Porsche, who were pretty similar in pace, came back to the pits with 0.8 liters remaining. The BMW was literally on its last breath (0.2 liters). A difference of (0.8-0.2)/5*100=0.6/5*100=12. In other words, the BMW uses ~12% more fuel to cover the same distance. The question is now if they can be fast enough to make up for that.

We do have a crap ton of factors that no one can predict during race pace; possible accidents, caution laps, duels against other drivers... Fuel usage will become even trickier for the Beemers once those factors settle in. Of course, if speed is on their side, and if it can be used well, that disadvantage could easily be overcome.

You're more than just right in that. There's just so many variables that not even testing all the tracks with 100% race distance can predict anything.

*cue the reference to many Le Mans races where one manufacturer was clearly using more fuel but being faster than the other yet still managed a very close finish*

I'd also like to remind everyone that the initial deadline is less than three days away, although at this rate it's likely to be extended by another week. If I haven't got anything from you by them, oh boy, my creativity will go nuts. :mischievous:

@rallymorten How can I open my BMW templates on Car Viewer?

I shall be doing a tutorial right now, it's a question that's been asked more than once.
 
You'll get a cookie if you can find the very video that first introduced me to that particular song :sly:

Come on, you know that's hard stuff to find. Between TheStrawHatNO, Vinesauce, and god knows who else, there are a million videos of Tomodachi Life around! :crazy:

Also, nice way of sneaking my own dang car in, you clever bas:censored:rd. All the banter indeed. :lol:
 
Double post already? Oh well, again, it's for a good cause. Did anyone say "banter"?

Only three days remaining! Keep an eye out for this space, gentleman... :sly:
 
Now that's a new one.. would you mind sending the template my way so I can do troubleshooting?
 
Not just that. The entire thing you do the edits on. Might find some time to do transparent background on the logos.
