SNAIL Tuner and Team Series IV

[freshseth83]

Down to the high 1:39's in the MX5 now. Anyone else got any times?

 

[iceandspice]

I believe we have to go on the honor system unless anyone has a way to check everyone's cars. The guys who race with SNAIL are usually trustworthy in my experience but if someone has a better idea let me know. Also I feel that if you are caught cheating you will be banned at least from this series. We for the most part know who's fast and so if someone is way faster than they should be it will show. We will be doing weight checks the same way we did last season.

BTW are you going to team up with GTP_mike46an2 or just tune? If so that would be awesome having 14 drivers and 7 teams.

Looks like no one took the s15 this time around which is surprising because I really liked that car. Anywho looking forward to Tuesday. Hope my internet connection is good that night.

I am sure you have hp values to balance the cars, do you think its possible to allow DC5 in 285hp its only 4hp for FF car. ( i am fine with 281 hp as well)

Sure i will like to team up with GTP_mike46an2, if he wants to run DC5.

Thanks

Is there a reason you want the extra power? In testing the setup I posted was the one that made it equal with the other 2 cars. I don't think 4 hp will change it much but I'm inclined to leave it as is until after the first race. I will say the DC5 was faster at some tracks and slower at others in comparison with the other 2 cars. If we find out one car has a major advantage I'll adjust the specs some. I think the ballast will fix any differences there are also.

What's the fastest time anyone has done at Indy in a DC5? I've gotten into the high 138s in the Roadster so far.

 

[zeromisfit999]

rolling at about a 140 in the dc5 first time in tuning tonight though.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Mid 39s in the Integra I think it was.

Spooble, do you want to use the Integra? I I have it on share right now. Compare against the Silvia and pick one I guess.

 

[freshseth83]

I run more wing to get through the turns. I could go faster but it says 516pp. Thats a lot lower than it can go with full downforce.

Its fine, we did test run, DC5 is competitive . I could a 1:39.7xx without draft, tune is still work in progress.

I guess I should clarify that. You can run max downforce if you want but just don't change the engine specs from what's listed. Of course the pp will change and that's fine. What I listed was the untuned pp of each car with the engine specs set as they should be.

 

[freshseth83]

Oh ok, Cool! I could probably go faster around the turns with more wing. It might cut back on that long straight though.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Integra is off share for tire wear testing. Let me know if you need it back on.

Edit 1
Back on share. Small change to dampers saved half second at Indy. Feedback by pm please. Thanks guys.

Edit 2
I guess I'm the only one around here today. Just for fun I ran my Silvia RM from last season. I guess I can't tune FF cars - the integra eats tires while the Silvia's tires wear like IRON. Fastest lap time is within a tenth but there will be problems with the integra over the course of a race- the Silvia will walk away fast. I'll have to look into the LSD settings.

 

[Ridgeline]

You guys are killing it.... I still haven't broken 1:41 at Indy. 👎

 

[freshseth83]

I can run 1:39s with the MX5 for an easy 10+ laps. Hard tires have little wear.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

The Silvia will do the same but the Integra is FF. Lots of stress on those front tires.

 

[freshseth83]

The Integra isn't quite as good as the CR-Z imo. Still pretty quick though.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Yeah, CR-Z is good but not on the list.

I asked a tuner friend for some FF help - going to try some different LSD settings but my money is on the Silvia here and I'm going to keep tuning it. I just don't see how an FF can keep up with FR over 15 laps. I'll have a set up ready for Indy RC soon guys.

I am dropping out as Driver. I will be tuner and behind the scenes

updated DC5 tune and in my share. I will send out msg shortly to Chiochan (ChuthuluGoat) and zeromisfit999 (lifesagamble420) with the updated settings

 

[freshseth83]

With the new tire wear and HARD tires, I don't think being FF is too much of a disadvantage anymore. As long as they're slightly faster to balance out the fact they'll pit sooner.

 

[Chiochan]

You should run them. Only one team is using the DC5, I would like to see 2 teams for each car, ideally.

Sorry Wolf, not enough time to do it. Its weekday, I need at least one day to tune and test. After that based on feedback may need further adjustment, fine tuning and more testing Just not enough time. Other Tuners have ready tune for Silvia, may be you could use them

Don't worry about this week, can I count on you for next week? 👍

Anyway, can I be added as interested driver; I think Iroquis also confirmed.

I've added you and Iroquis to the drivers list. Let me know once you've confirmed him as a team mate and I'll add you to the list.

 

[Chiochan]

Anyone want to practice? I got some time to kill and would like to perfect the tune.
I am in d2

Got down to 1:39:6XX with the DC5. Front tires seemed to hold up for about 15 minutes. Gotta try to figure out how to squeeze 5 more minutes out of them.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I'm up for some practice from 10 to 11pm est.

I run .8 camber max and front toe -.25 rear toe -.15 with lsd 5 12 8. That might help out.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Lap times have been affected by the new update. The car doesn't really feel much different but it's an easy half second plus slower vs 2.08. Nothing I could do with the suspension helped so I think it might be a tire grip/aero change.

 

[Wolfsatz]

Confirmed! Iroquis and I as team!

 

[hillracing]

👍

Can you get me the car numbers, color and tuner you will running before tonight? Glad to have you on board.

Also Oshawa-Joe I need the car your team will be running. Dabneyd and Kcheeb I need your color also.

Thanks guys. See you tonight.

We are staying with the Silvia RM.
