This is a race to test the track and the car combo. If they are competitive enough, they will be the next series.
I haven't tested the track yet, but more people can find more bugs. So the track is somewhat a placeholder, but if it works, it will be the first round as well.

This ll be great!
I love the 908, i think the 330 P4 is 1-2 sec faster. Maybe 'd add ballast (just an idea).

In my opinion 15 mins of qual is too few, i prefer 20-30 mins.

If it's really the case, then it will be hard to slow it down by 1-2 second. That's probably a lot of ballast, but that's what we'll find out. Or else it could be GT40 and 908 series Smiley.

It causes some unpredictability. If people have lots of time to set a lap, the grid will often look the same. Will look into it for the series.

Dont worry about ballast, just add air restrictors to the 330 and gt40 where needed..

The 330 is the fastest, then gt40. Usually on most tracks because the gt40 has a rev limit you can increase

I have no idea how to implement air restriction and I also don't have a clue how much something affects. With weight I can make a guess how much kg to aim for, but not with air restriction. So I'm gonna need some help on that or get a way to accuratly test it  Undecided.

i can test it roughly for each and let you know, then just tell picnic and he will have to ad the air restriction in the servercfg file.

Just a question Chris.
After I tried the restrictors to BoP cars in an italian champ, I must agree with you that they're probably the best way to balance the car without modifying the physics adding ballasts.
I would like to be helpful in balancing this pack, but I don't understand how to set the restrictors when offline. That can be done only modifying the servercfg file or I can modify the restrictors even offline in some way?

Thank you Smiley

You would have to start a server and set the air restriction for each car.

You can set air restriction offline if you create a custom championship. Just create long practice sessions with one or two opponents and restart championship to make adjustments or swap cars.
