Will the Race_S set last for an hour? (The tyres I mean)

Doorman

Quote from: Toddshooter;252865Seeing as you can't touch your brake pedal with the race-s set without a lockup. Could we have someone take off a few clicks of brake force and then use just this slightly modded race-s?
The trouble is where does it end? :g: "Seeing as you can't turn in properly can we change the camber a tad?"
 
There's a little man sitting on my shoulder saying "Let them use whatever they like" but then I'm tired, I expect he'll go away very soon. :norty:

That remains to be seen. :)

 The only thing that is undrivable about the set is the brakes...they are mad to be honest:D
 All the other aspects of the set can be overcome quite easily. After many laps though the brakes are a huge issue.
Just my 2cents:)

I was going to write a long and deep philosophical reply, but then I tried the RACE_S and thought that it will work ok for me.. :D

Oi, leave Doorz alone! *shakes fist* :)

Race_S has nearly always been used on team racing nights. And on many occasions there have been complaints in the beginning, but at the end of the night most people were quite happy with the set. It just takes some getting used to, in some cases a bit more than others. Now, I'll admit that I haven't tried the combo yet, and I'm sure the brakes are horrible but... I just have to say: SUCK IT UP! We're all gonna be driving the same set, and we're all gonna be struggling with the brakes most likely. A good driver can adapt to even the worst of sets, I should think :flirty: Besides, there's plenty of pitstops for the driver changes, so plenty occasions to change tyres and/or repair some damage.

Hopefully I can get some laps in on that combo tonight and I'll know what you mean about the brakes, but my opinion will stay the same :)

You saved me a post. :)
I'll be running some AI to see what kind of fuel load we need to last 11-12 minutes. The way I see it, the heavy footed will have to restrain themselves until the latter stages when there will be a build up of fuel. So lots to ponder over eh? :norty:

The brake power and balance seems ok to me, but it turns like a whale especially in few corners. I say the suspension and tyres need a sledgehammer.

Don't you think it would have been better using the same as the weekly combo? :sideways:

Toddshooter

Tried the set again last night and brakes were fine:g: or at least drivable:)
My pedals must of been having a fit the first time I drove it:sad: I kid you not!  I could not touch my pedal without the tires squealing like a banshee.
 I am an advocate of Race_S so this wasn't a regular thing for me to complain:rolleyes:
 See ya Sunday:woot2:

Don't YOU start! :sideways: I anticipate an extraordinary amout of flak over this event. :rolleyes:
I've done some tests on fuel consumption and timings etc. It takes approximately 10 minutes to do eight laps using approximately 7% fuel.  Therefore we'll have 8% to start and 8% refuel at every pit stop. Teamwork is going to be paramount and the spectating driver would be clever to monitor laps/time of his partner in order to let him know when to pit. He'll have enough to concentrate on.
The more I think about this the more excited I become. :woot2: You think the start of a normal hour race is stressy?
 Oh my dicky tickaire! :sad:

Y'know I was going to suggest you check your pedals potentiometer, maybe it was sticking. Then I thought 'sod it' :lmfao:

I'll bring some muffin and latte. Would that be good?
