Hot dang, I'm glad I'm not in competition with you power-sluggers. Maybe I should tune this thing a little bit, it is losing traction in the end of the turns for me...
 
Nice pick! I've been waiting to take the mini out of my garage. See you at the flag.


P.S. It's CRAZY to give out settings before the race. Give it to them after so they can figure out why it works for next time. You can only learn by tuning yourself.
 
Wellyrn, I am very excited to see what you run. Since you are running in the same division, my times are not very good. I tried my best, and I think this will be my best run.

24.875
53.462

I do not think I can do any better. Although I am still trying.
 
Won the Mini on my first attempt so I was quite happy. Haven't dropped below 55 yet but I've barely begun.
 
Hi,
I was able to get
24.01,
51.51,
then my wheel took its last lap.
Twisted it off,stripped the gear,smells like burned
popcorn.
Oh well,now I can start building my 1970 Buick
Stage 1 455 engine,.030 over,GS118 cam,ported,
polished big port heads,and after I
finish that,I intend to put it in my 1969 Cutlass S ragtop......
But I digress.....
If I dont get another chance to run this week,good
luck to everyone.
Later,

Would you care to share some settings with us mortals ?....

No special settings mate, just a little adjust here and there :dopey: I never thought anyone would need a posted set up for such an easy car :D

I'll boot up the PS2 later and post my details for the mere mortals :lol: 👍

Thanks Mate 👍

Appreciate all the help I can get... :)
 
After another session I now got a clean save:

24.360
52.533

Still a lot of time out there. :)
 
I think we should hold a minute of silence for cinjun's wheel. RIP.

Mr P: I think I liked you better when you were dead ;)
 
One Question i have.

Super soft Tires
fully Tuned (can i drive without ASM & with TCS)
but no modificatin (settings)

is this correct ???
 
GoKents
The Car: Fully Modified Mini 1.3i (super softs, all that stuff)
You can add all the upgrades, put in whatever settings you like, and ASM / TCS are optional.
 
No, no, just tune it up to 178 bhp (stage 2 turbo), put everything else on it, lightweight, etc. and then you can twiddle anything you want, drive with or without asm/tcs. There are often restrictions about that sort of thing, but not this week. When there are, it'll be in the first post.
 
Correct, turbo 2 as well as racing suspension, brakes, lightweight, whatever else there is. everything you can buy, T8 tires (not T2, but I think you knew), and settings as you like.
 
Kaneda1975
O.K. Turbo Stage 2 T2 Tires (very soft) & settings as i would like, right !?

You can use any tires you want to this week.

I would suggest the softest ones... T8's. 👍
 
I can't get any better than 53! Is that good for a divison 3 racer. Compared to Mr.P im nothing!
 
banjobear
T8 tires (not T2, but I think you knew)

Thought I'd take the opportunity to post a "T2 Leaderboard". Someone used to do this when I first came to the WRS, but they left shortly after. :(

Anyways, here it is:
(I based division placements on Weekly Race Series. Driver Classes.so I hope they're up to date ;))
Refer to post #102 for the updated leaderboard.

* indicates that I couldn't find the driver located on the list linked above. (One more for Kent's to-do list!) ;)

My apologies to icemanshooter23, there's just too many characters in your name, and it kept screwing up my table! :P
 
These 51s are stunning. Never mind a 50.9. Can we convince Lotus350 to accidentally shut Mr. P's wang in a cupboard and put him out of action for a week?

I wasn't expecting any 23.xxx either - although I hit a flat 24.0.

Crossing the start/finish line at 103mph, turning into the first corner at 121mph...

The problem with that is that it puts Lotus out of action for a week as well. :lol:
