UKAC Race next week - you choose

[goldtop]

Just took advantage of the steam sale to update my AC content. Very impressed with the Praga so might be up for this one too.

[Jeffrey]

Pick something for next week people, before I pick something Friday . I want things decided before the weekend, so people have time to practice and have things downloaded and sorted in time.

[Maikel K.]

I'm gonna miss next week unfortanely  :'(

As Maikel is away then lets do a track day fun race as they are always fun.

Imola

Mazda RX7 Tuned
Lotus Exige 240R Stage 3
Porsche Cayman GT4
BMW M235i Racing
Porsche 911 Carrera S
Lotus Exige S

After that, lets start the next championship.

[Mark J]

Agree with that

Sounds good to me. I'll try to put some laps in to see where they stand, although I struggle at imola,  so it won't be be easy to get the maximum out of the cars.

I tested these a few months back along with all the other cars and we ran the faster pack. This is the next group down and lap times across the board for all the cars is 2.02 - 2.03. Obviously the aliens will faster but the cars are all pretty consistent in times.

Okay, all good.
These are roughly the times on RSR
Mazda RX7 Tuned 1:59 - 2:00
Lotus Exige 240R Stage 3 2:01
Porsche Cayman GT4 1:59.7
BMW M235i Racing 1:57.5
Porsche 911 Carrera S 1:58.0
Lotus Exige S 2:01.5

These aren't the fastest laps on RSR, but I've taken away the fastest lap if it was by a big margin and picked an average lap for the first stable fast laps.
The Carrera and the BMW seem clearly the fasest with both lotus cars dragging behind.
I'm fine with picking these cars, just hope people will pick sensibly

As we have quite a car choice, we can drop the BMW. You'll find also that the fast cars will have the advantage on the long straight but the Lotus cars will catch up in the corners. This is what happened last time with the faster group. The 2-11 was left behind on the straights but was killing the 911 GT3, Nissan GTR, Audi R8 etc in the corners. A real cat and mouse affair

 :'( I've spent half the afternoon practicing with the Beemer! The only other front engine is the Mazda, and that is just plain
horrible with the default setup

That thing has setups on the setup market. Just make sure you pick the semislicks.

We can keep the BMW, and hope people don't go lame mode and pick it when they are way faster with it.

Ok cool and I don't think people will be faster  I'll be in a Lotus and Mark will be in a Porsche

You picked the car, I ain't responsible, this is your event 

[phspok]

The beemer was not bad on the default setups, I just changed dampers a bit to reduce the power slides.
The Mazda on default setup was undrivable ror me.

If it causes probs with alien car choices, I can probably crawl round in a Porka If required.

Check tyres on the Mazda on default setup, maybe it's on 90's streettyres instead of semislicks. Mazda is loads of fun
