I'm in the F250 mate, it's lovely

[Clive Loynes]

Thx a lot Clive :-)

Have sent the setup and TT lap to the email on your profile, so if that isn't correct you had better PM me with your correct address.

aww that's even more annoying    I want to drive it but i'm not as quick as I am in the other cars I tried. It doesn't want to brake, it understeers, then oversteers  its a mess or certainly doesn't feel nicely balanced like a race car should. Maybe I need to do more laps in it.

What about the Alfa Junior and the Junior WB ?   

[phspok]

What's a "Junior WB"?  Remember, this one is an inspiration from Tudor. I have not actually run any
of the cars here yet.... and Tudor is technologically challenged at the moment.
As far as I know all the other cars are intended.

[Clive Loynes]

They seem to be same power and weight.

[Hotkeys]

Oh Hotkeys will be nervous, his GR2 lap record will be on the line here

 

Unfortunately I won't be around to defend it tonight  

.............. but I will claim to the day I die, that the old P&G cars were much slower than the present  

You guys have a nice race, while I take a sip of my claret in the summer cottage

Yeh they definitely are Stig. I still have v2.1 on my PC & I few times I have compared cars & the ones in v3 are faster even though the power & weight is the same. New physics I guess.

The Alfa Jnr WB is the 70s version of the Alfa Jnr. It is faster than the normal (60s) Jnr, but I don't know if it is too fast for the other cars at this track. Haven't tried it.

well considering its from the 70's and the rest of the car set is 60's, i'd say its unsporting to allow or use it  It'll probably have better brakes and better tyres for starters.    But not tried it, and not my call.

I looked long & hard at the Alfa Jnr WB at the last race (Keimola) but in the end my Escort time had the edge.
IIRC it has vastly better tyres than the normal Alfa Jnr & I'm sure it's slightly better off in terms of either weight or power

I would say that if you can go quicker in it than my F250's 1:00.7 than it should be banned!

[phspok]

I wil try the cars tonight, but..... I am extremely unlikely to ban anything on the day of the race, unless
it has a clear advantage over everything else.

[Legzy]

The original Jnr is 5kg lighter & has '69 tyres.
The WB obviously carries 5kg more weight but has '72 tyres.

So hopefully no too much difference.

[Clive Loynes]

I had a go in both last night and found a difference of 0.1 seconds.

Thanks Guys, that's enough to leave well alone.
