The Rolex Sports Car Series, Season 4 Discussion!

Yo guys!

So I've been wondering, but wouldn't it be a good idea to set a base weight for cars?

I know the Aston Martin goes well above 1300 kg (1362 kg), and the Audi and Camaro go to about 1312 kg. I was thinking 1350 kg would be a good base.

As long as you don't feel like you're driving a boat, I'm open for the idea!
 
Well surprisingly, I ran the Aston at 1370 kg and 450 bhp and was hitting near the 1:49.5 mark at Daytona. The tune I had for it was nice leading into Turn 1, and I reckon it can do a little better. If we bump the weight, we can probably bump the bhp a little aswell.
 
I think the idea of an overall base weight is a good idea, it just makes balancing a lot easier if one variable is removed.

Sometimes, it doesn't always work though.

Anyways, who all has the R390 road car? If you have it, we may really need you in DP this season!
 
R390 vs. NSX concept? I don't have the NSX concept, so I don't know how those cars match up. They are both mid-engine. I don't know about the downforce levels though.
 
The NSX has 35 front 60 or 65 rear. It can match or beat the R390. You can't install a wing though. But if you leave the wing off the R390, it's got the same downforce level. I don't think it matters either way, you can spec both of them to be damn near equal regardless. That's how good the NSX is.
 
The thing is, if we're looking for a car that resembles a DP car then the R390 fits the bill perfectly.

Add the gt auto wing, and we have ourselves a near perfect match.

Sure does! DP may be colorful this season!

That will be a relief. What if we had 2 silver, 2 blue/white, and 2 blue/red cars. I would run yellow/green the next week lol.

Y U NO SAY HI?!

I will paint my ride brightly :)

I'll probably find something I like. I'm not sure what yet. I might go 8star paint scheme.

No chrome paints though ;)

:P I am ready to get the r390 road out for some tests. Min weight is 1062 I think. Not positive though. We made need 530-550 horsepower to deal with the extra weight.
 
If we're doing R390's I'm going to run a gold-chrome with matte pink wheels. Or the other way around, if we could paint wheels on a standard. Just to piss you guys off. :sly:
 
Passionate Pink is a very loud pink to use. I have a Lexus LFA in that colour, as well as a Chevy Z06 RM that colour too.
 
Has the Toyota 1 race car ever been considered? It looks the part, not sure if it measures up though.
 
I already have a leg up on you guys for settings then as I had this car setup with a decent tune for James' USCC thing.
