TOCA7 Pre Season Thread - Approaching End Of Testing Phase.

[Furinkazen]

will it be independents with the black carbon bonnet and teams with the coloured bonnet

Correct. Although Mini, BMW, Infiniti can't have Carbon bonnet anyway.

Suzuki has carbon hood and cars need to meet a minimum weight of 1000kg. I updated the spec list on the OP tonight.

I saw the updated OP, and it doesn't mention the carbon hood for the Suzuki...
And its the first time I read anything about minimum weight for the Suzuki. Or does this affect any other car?

Cleaning up OP gradually. With the weight reduction its 981kg. Ballast required to bring it up 1000kg.

You could take out the Front Aero A from the Infiniti because I don't seriously know from where you saw that a concept car would be able to use any aero part.

@Chris, Spurgy and I tested at Fuji.

[chrisjohnson93]

If I have a session then. Can't guarentee anything.

And 1am at South America.

We tested at Indy
Basically what Mich said, the Honda, Mazda and Infiniti are all on the same pace, and the Suzuki, BMW and the Audi could all do with a boost, Suzuki around the corners and BMW/Audi on the straights. But the Suzuki can't be boosted anymore so there really is no point in picking it

Couldnt agree more about the bmw.

I didn't do any testing yet, but I bought all the cars and configured them yesterday. One question about the Suzuki: It says in the OP that it should have exactly 305hp with all upgrades. Mine had 314 straight out of the dealership with tuning parts and oil change.

So, no matter what configuration you guys have been testing it with, either there's room for making it faster with the run-in, or will it be restricted to 305...?

I just restricted mine to 305, I wouldn't trust the OP too much

PMSL!

 

[ATIN3222]

My advice scrap the Suzuki for something else, it doesn't have enough grip

 

[snowgt]

Btw, about the Mini...I have never seen stage tuning have so little effect on power. It costs something like 50,000 credits and you get about 10hp more.

 

[KingSakery]

Infiniti Concept will probably be my pick Furi saw how she annihilates at the start 👍
And she doesn´t have that horrible Understeer the G35 has (although she still has some Understeer but it´s not lap-time-killing).

For the Mini: Drop her. Really I can´t see how to make her faster.
1:42mid at Indy <--> 1:39.6 Infiniti
=> huge gap maybe it´s different at tighter Tracks but I would still question that.

Scirroco:
VW needs a boost too. high 40´s at Indy. She is just missing some powwer


That are the 3 I already build up, will test them all but Mini is already out (will still test her with new specs though).

@snow: 183bhp before and ~198bhp after Engine Stage3 => [lil jon] What !! [lil jon/]

[lil jon] What !! [lil jon/]

This reminded me of a funny but crap video I stumbled apon many years ago when I used to play BF2 on the PC.

I only linked as it has a few swears at the end .

Just wondering when will the season 7 schedule be released?

 

[Spurgy 777]

How much power should the VW have?

 

[gokartman78]

mine got 289 after 400 miles

 

[Spurgy 777]

Ok, just running the Mini in right now, half a lap around SSRX

 

[gokartman78]

watch out for the turns

 

[Spurgy 777]

watch out for the turns

What? Turns?!? As a challenge I'm keeping my left wheel over the white line a all times so I don't get too bored

 

[paulmac2k9]

Didn't work..

 

[Spurgy 777]

Didn't work..

Just made half the track invisible so could end up that way

 

[paulmac2k9]

On the bright side it may be light enough in that form to be fast..

 

[Spurgy 777]

Yeh, probably won't handle too well though

 

[gokartman78]

looks like it could do with a rigidity restoration...
