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

[asdren]

I tried the tool too, but it crashes as soon as i select any trim

Edit: I double checked, strangely it doesnt work only for the cars prepared for the BRC Challange.

To all of those having issues please give a detailed description of what you do and when it crashes. Does it immediately crash when clicking “Select Trim” or when you choose the trim file? Is Automation still running when you work with the tool? I would recommend to close Automation.

The error occurs when i choose certain trims including the one for BRC, in the pop up menu. There are other trims of other cars working fine…

It occurs either way if the game is running or not…

This is what I get. I enter my name and a name for the car. When I select “Trim” it turns to this screen. I have tried it with the game open, closed, the car exported, the car not exported. I am running as administrator.

Here is where I have extracted the tool and its components.

I think you have to create a folder BRC1966 where to extract the program, not extract the compressed folder into the automation one.

[asdren]

The folder structure should look like this:

[Der_Bayer]

Andrea is right, create a new folder please.

For the other ones having problems: I will think of a solution but I really don’t know whats going on. You would help me if you could export the car which is not working in a PM. Thanks for your patience.

PM with the export sent.

Just curious if someone would mind sharing some ballpark figures so i / we can have an idea of what the cars should be able to do? My current car does the automation track in 2.23.01, which is quite a lot lower than the competitive cars from the 1955 BRC, and i assume these will be faster, not slower. Or if we could have an idea from a benchmark car on the automation track and/or airfield track? Want to participate yet not finish last

Oh sh*t right now I am doing 2.27 … this is not looking good

I think your time is fine. opens automation, deletes car design and cries

[mer_at]

can’t enter “.” into the CarName

What would be nice:

• if i knew how much fuel my car holds!!!
• how much fuel i need for the whole race (approximately)

[RoyalStig]

Claiming #21. Also, I couldn’t wait for this, especially as I just missed out on BRC 1955.
Also, my car is getting around 2:27.XX on the automation test track.

[AirJordan]

For those who did previous BRC: how much would you say does (how much) brake fade influence race performance?

[Dragawn]

Cheers Bayer
Does tyre wear affect handling balance? e.g. worn front tyres causing understeer.

[strop]

I think the technological advances from 1955 count for a lot, as do the new tyre widths. I’m tossing up between a few bodies with similar times and fuel consumption rates. All of them at this stage are doing about 2:23ish on AT so I assume that’ll be competitive as a single lap time. Now I just need to test the handling characteristics and fuel capacity… As well as weight. All my cars run between 230 to 270hp with weights from 920 to 1080kg. The clear winner is also quite a bit smaller though… Will have to refuel more often…

Wait. I just realized i was running on sport tires at 2.26.10. Now on slicks, much better . Everybody using slicks?

[strop]

Oh yes I was running slicks. Probably would see 2:26 or sonif I ran sports.

Yup, using slicks as well, and seeing that i’m running within “strop-ish” i’m pretty happy for the time being. Just a bit worried about how my reliability, driveability, tyre wear and such will affect my error rate. Just hope i haven’t derped on any rules, don’t think i have but fails do happen on my account

I’ll also add that I’m letting my cars run a bit ‘heavy’ for now, including making safety at least 25 (I’m scared of damage done due to crashing). Im also giving myself a fairly healthy reliability margin (37). If it looks like I’ll struggle in qualifying I’ll just have to amp up the risk

I wonder just how much camber affects wear because I did go quite aggressive with that…
