BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [RACE 7 P&Q]

BTW Der Bayer sorry for spamming you with my car changes. Could not get my head around what to do with them. :blush:

It looks like my first BRC will be middle of the pack because I just canā€™t drop those times.

I hear ya, my project is nowhere near the times Iā€™ve seen, I think Iā€™ll shoot for hopefully not being humiliated.

It usually takes a while to get your groove in this game. Like I said earlier, I was 33nd in the 1955 BRC.

(One thing you can do to add interest when youā€™re well back from the leaders is pick someone closer to your speed as a rival. I spent a lot of races last season rooting for my little dot to catch up to 07CobaltGirlā€™s - rarely did, if I recall.)

If I finish the race and Iā€™m not dead last, then Iā€™ll be happy. Otherwise Iā€™ll just have to work on something better.

Itā€™s often referred to as ā€œsetting the bar lowā€. :wink: You caught me several timesā€¦due to blown engines.

Uhā€¦ Not to be a grammar Nazi, but I think you missed something Packbat.

ā€¦itā€™s apparently been a longer day than I thought. -_-

Edit: And I reversed a ā€œmoreā€ and ā€œlessā€ in an earlier post, too! Aagh!

itā€™s only now that i watched the test video.
i submitted my car with the number 95.
but on the video 95 is taken by przemicho.

i didnā€™t got any feedback from der bayer, so i assumed it was safe, and i got that number.

until i realisedā€¦ thereā€™s 2 car with number 95???

alsoā€¦ tire wear penalty is quite amazingā€¦ im consistently losing almost 0.1 second per lap. didnā€™t expected this to happen

It is highly likely that with so many participants there are many double or even triple requests for numbers. Giving feedback to every one of them I think would be too much to ask.

wellā€¦ yesā€¦itā€™s my bad.
i assumed that 1 number is only for 1 car. as i found out thereā€™s also 2 number 25(s)

and 3 or 4 66ā€™s which is why Im changing my race number

man, my performance in the last BRC and now this one have me wondering how I was so lucky in 1945 :stuck_out_tongue:

Hopefully going to nail down the last of my changes to submit tomorrowā€¦ also going to try a different pit stratā€¦ maybe, looking forward to the trump cards to see if they capture my car well :slight_smile:

anyone mind helping me submit my car again?
a different car.

just finished watching.

got something interesting, i think because of the rain, i carried too much fuel at the start. so when i pitted i didnā€™t refuel at all even and even finished the race with almost 5 laps worth of fuel to spare, maybe more.

also that rain at the end is a godsend for me:) since i went no inters, i was on wets the entire race and was chasing every one like a grim reaper :stuck_out_tongue: i think i made up 7 places in the last 5-6 minutes of the race?

Exactly. In the beginning I wanted to look who requested a number first, but then, with so many entries and revisions, I just gave up.

Yepā€¦ this car will not go under 2:20:65 on ATT no matter what, even -1.5 / -1.5 camber only gets me to about 2:20:20ā€¦ O well.
I think I figured out something that will help my car, plus changed up my pits now that I know I have to lug around the fuel that gets me to the next pit, so I should be carrying 20kg less fuel (faster laps and faster pitā€¦ hopefully)
Looking forward to the real races, hopefully we get some quality commentary like last season.

Added a poll: decide if the scoring system should be changed because of many entries.

I think that having 30 cars scoring points due to the amount of entryā€™s is a great idea.

im only have about 21.x engine reliabity yet my engine doesnt blow up. i wonder if this happen because i avoid my part going dark orange even red valve float depsite iā€™ve rev high enough and not pushing little more depsite perfomance advantage. is anyone who got engine blown up have engine part that have orange reliability or even red?

@Koolkei
