@danbojte , what is the reason for changing the alignment? , I'm 1 second slower and the tires seem to burn up faster, and my BB had to be changed. I don't mind the change, just wondering why.

This one is better for CS tyres. The car's handling is better and the lap times are better, you can't be slower.

The BB for me is the same or maybe needs just one click changing. I make these changes, when I make them, for we to have a better driving experience and for fully enjoying a car.

I have no problem to get back to the first setting, just I felt it will be better for us. If any of you wanna go back, just let me know and I will twist it back.

I'm fine with this, I'll just have to get use to it 👍.

@ALB123 : Your PS3 might overheat and causing funny stuff like graphic corruption and random lock up. If you can, open it up, and blow it with air pump, do not use vacuum cleaner. Take out the fan and clean it with damp cloth, remove all the grime and dust. I cleaned my PS3 every 6 months, and it has quite some dust collecting in 6 months alone. Very easy to do and safe, I have done it many times. BTW, my PS3 is slim not super slim.

Turning ps3 on cleaning mode helps too, it blows most dust out.

Right. 👍 I'm doing this around the 1st day of every month.

It's good it could recover. 👍

Swift S1600 Junior WRC at dirt track ( toscana ) or snow track ( Chamonix )

Snow would be fun, did a classic mini race around Chamonix a few months back was great throwing those little things about in the snow

The toy looks good :

and the real JWRC Swift S1600 :

@Ridox2JZGTE missing ability to rip bumpers as on that Suzuki..

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Sorry guys, something went wrong with my browser, double post

@OdeFinn, yeah the real car looks skinny, the bumper got ripped, snow is unfriendly

I had it yellow but @OdeFinn beat me to it, the yellow was 1 second faster , I think we should have a penalty system for the colors since some of them are faster, White = 3 seconds penalty, Red = 2 Seconds penalty, Yellow = 1 Second Penalty , just my humble non-biased opinion .

Midnight Purple R35 GTR anyone ? or a pink one

The purple one would be @Brewguy44 color , don't know if he's going to be there though, I went to his garage and all he has for a pit crew is 1 tire girl ...

we do with what we have right?

I on the other hand have found the perfect tire changer, the only problem is that I may not be able to come back on track once I stop for a tire change.

How much does an orange one gain?

I've only built the car haven't run it yet, will hopefully get some time before the race starts to get to know it and the track.

Track data is being uploaded overnight

I think that it`s somewhere between the red and yellow , something like 1.5 seconds , the green actually slows you down, that`s why I picked it , to give you guys a chance , according to the ACRC (Automobile Color Research Center) green adds 3 seconds to your time, so when I`m doing 1:12 I`m really doing 1:09 .

3P0 wants a gold one, I told him there's no way I'm driving a gold car, it's either white, blue or silver

He is a bit of a hard head , but he makes a great ballast , good thing he didn`t want purple , I know some people who would not take it lightly, probably end up chained to the rear of a car and pulled around for days on end .

Is it a sliding scale? Just wondering if it's a darker orange 1.8-1.9 seconds and a lighter one is like 1.2-1.3!? I'll just be taking the 2 anyway Formula Red Pearl's looking to be a favourite 👍

And can I just add, Ridox2JZGTE's idea for a Rally event is so . I'm definitely interested in a Snow race, I've always found then to be load of fun. And a @OdeFinn says it's always a great learning experience 👍 I've seen what you guys over in Finland have to go through to get your driving licences You guys have got it right over there The experiences you guys go through during driver training does make a big difference IMO. I think a lot of what they do over there should be used over here too, Skid pan training for one 👍 Over here you don't get taught how to save certain situations that can occur and more importantly, you don't get to experience them in a controlled environment first. So when something goes wrong on the open roads it's usually a complete surprise and people don't know how to deal with them It's probably safe to say in Britain you don't really start learning to drive until after you have you're licence

If you ask me it's a better use of tax payers money to do this kind of training to combat road safety issues than to keep putting up speeding cameras

Yup buddy, you got it right , & blue is 4 seconds slower , next thing you know we'll be obligated to all have the same car color , good thing nobody has noticed that putting on the wipers makes you go faster, it cuts the air resistance , yeah seriously I've tested this and have all the data stored away 👍, like real far far away .

I think judging from past race replays @danbojte at least knew about this already
