Awesome, also… spent 4 hours building my fastback style car and got about 2:22 on slicks (suspension needs work)… start playing with the GT style car, in about 30 minutes im at 2:21 on slicks with basically no optimization on the car 
I think I found my car body…
Edit: sub 2:20 now… still lots of room for improvement in suspension… Me Gusta!
Low 2:22 on automation track is the benchmark pace?
Only less than 30 reliability Riso ? That’s interesting. Might mean my engine is overengineered
it means your car is too heavy if you need to push your engine into such numbers. I mean I sacrifice a bit of reliability to push some extra revs, but don’t go under 45
Nah it’s lighter than Riso’s.
I am not using the V6 but yes the aim is 30 reliability like in brc 1955.
Good time but you might want to find half a second.
Pfft, 15 or less is my motto.
My car is a lemon. A rocket powered lemon. :'C
And yeah, I think low 22 would be a good point to aim for.
2.19 on max camber I suppose?
mine is using a 2L V6 with 37.6 reliability.
so 2:22 is average time… and such… is slow?
dangit… my car is on the edge of breaking 2:21 though…
and how many MR to FR cars are there?
You have to consider Matti did set the best time of 2:21.58 in the test race. On the other hand there were only three cars under 2:22.
Supposing the next pre-season tests are more than 2 days away, I will have to consider that my car isn’t qualifying particularly well but is doing very well in terms of endurance over a 90 minute period (dropping to 16th at the start due to a lack of pace but progressively overtaking the field after about the 45 minute mark. Weather may have had something to do with it). I did look up all the tracks and found there to be a wide and pretty even mix. Still not sure what I want to do, but I notice this time there is no ‘dropping the 2 worst races’ in the rules, as far as I can see. Can I get confirmation that all races will count? Because that will definitely change things in terms of ideal reliability… won’t be so tempted to drop it to, say, 18 and hope the engine doesn’t kaboom too often 
I would also like to know the scoring system. Good call on that one Strop. What tyres did you use Strop? Maybe if you didn’t use slicks you car would perform proportionally better in the wet, as per the charts.
I’ll be curious how reliability is affected with the longer races. Is it scaled any differently than last season?
No drop results this time. Scoring is in the OP.
Engine reliability has been scaled for the 90 Minute races. 30 is the rough guideline, but you can be lucky with values below that or unlucky with values above that of course.
If I don’t use slicks and the race starts in the dry, I’ll be in real trouble ha. I’m fairly sure my car has quite a bit of room to move. I mean, I only built it to do 2:41.6 in de-randomised BROBOT mode. It’s probably a fair bit porkier than the faster qualifying vehicles.
everyone got reliability above 30, meanwhile im praying my new engine doesnt explode since its only have below 20 reliability
at least i able to reach about 2:21:50 in test track for now
finally… im actually making a car that ALMOST breaks the 2:20 mark with 50 reliability overall (33.4 engine)
now the question is… is the extra second worth it?
my current submitted car is almost a full second slower, but have 66 reliability and better fuel economy. and im pretty sure less tirewear due to less agressive camber
not to mention better drivability because FR vs MR…
im sure it’s faster for at least the first 30% of the race… but endurance… still not sure…
Don’t worry, just pit four times!
although you are the winner of the pre-season test…
i somehow think that tip is a bit misleading… hmmmmm :b
but really. i just watched the race now, and your car wasn’t as fast, but you have some really good stratiegery.
also im still considering getting 2:20 with an undercooled engine and get 50.1 reliability, or slightly slower but gets 57,8 reliability.
edit:
welp nevermind. i accidentally got both somehow…

pretty sure you want a car that race faster in 90 mins instead just two and half mins, you clearly dont want a car that will just hug the pitstop all the race
Got my car running sub 2:20 with 32 engine reliability, 235 kmh+ on the back straight, and insanely low camber… still needs work… Only revving to 8300 (low based on my previous engines)
v12 POWAH!!!
