Apologies for lack of updates, will get things on track. Twissy-gate has kinda chucked all the points tables in chaos, and we got the specs to finish tweaking as well.

Here's an idea, considering i'm his replacement, give me all this points ;)
 
I will probably pull out of t8ca if I don't qualify next time because I find that not qualifying is a bit of wasted time.also because my ps3 is in the front lounge my parents have To go upstairs which is not fair on them.
In my opinion the top 12 lockdown should not be in place it should be first come first served.

Which is the most unfair method because otherwise you get slow crap people in. And also it guarentee's full grids.

~Notices its drivers outside top 12 who are slow complaining~

Fastest drivers = best quality and most competitive driving.

lol keep whining. The rule isn't going to change because some new kid cant drive well enough to get through.
 
I'm driving the socks off the car I can't go any quicker because I'm using ds3

I use DS3 and do pretty well. I don't know if I would have qualified at GVE had I had to do so, but it's definitely possible to do with a pad.

Gokartman and smuffy, two of the fastest here, weren't that much slower when they had a ds3, still near the top of the time-sheets.
 
It could be driving style, not getting the exit speed or running a bit wide. Even if you lose only a tenth in every corner, once you have 10 corners that's the difference.
 
Set up probably. Still laughing at Scania sending me pm saying Honda too slow... And what wins race 1? A Honda.

Bit hypocritical. You moaned VW was too slow but everyone then laughed at you...because VW isn't too slow.

I believe I keep telling you to get out my threads and stop stirring things up? Different VW anyway. As I said, you're not racing this season or involved so I really see no need for you to stick your nose in :)
 
Ford was toned down a bit but still is fast around GVE.
Pre-Season I did 1:06mid-high in the Ford. Smuffy in the VW did same, and I remember pretty nice battles with him in the pre-season races. In addition others where at "equal"-pace too and we had pretty mch epic close races.
I did 1:07.3 as fastest at Saturday. In addition I was 3 weeks away from PS3/Interwebs
=> It would be possible to be faster.
But I still think the Setup is more important than the Specs. For example last season.
No one picked the Mini because they didn´t test it correct and tried a few things.
All said it was slow on the straights, and what did I?? outpaced others on them straights in the Mini.
=> You see setting up a Car correct will gain you plenty of Time.

Ford is same. It has weaker brakes but the cornerspeeds you can achieve are higher than other FWD´s (with the correct settings) and the Torque it has (5 cylinders for the win) is huge even without E1 (40.0kgf.m and with E1 41.2kgf.m) and it surely has good grip even at start.
But I almost couldn´t pass after the Straight at GVE. I used the draft but the Pug and the Honda where non-reachable for me, but they are trickier to drive (but they should get respeced :D *joke*).

GVE is a fast Track => Power over controlability

==> At other Tracks the Honda might not be that fast (espacially if there is a super slow Hairpin or Turn in general)
 
Someone actually suggested "first come, first served"? :lol:

And yay, Furi's premiumless again. That makes two of us! :)
 
I'm amazed that the Honda won at a power-centric circuit. Last time I checked, the Honda was relatively slow in a straight line.
