It’s enough if you send it once. I won’t remove it if you don’t send in a car between the various tests.
Ok, thanks. Just a bit worried because this is one of my first big challenges in automation
.
If we have an amenable time to both of us, I’d be happy to participate.
Edit: @GenJeFT I just wanted to make sure you saw this post.
#[color=#ffee00]Final Pre-Season Test[/color]
PST6_csv.zip (4.5 KB)
Get your cars ready for the season! Send me your final entries until Monday. Cars will not be able to be altered after that. But your strategies can, so wait for the practice results of the first event to determine your race strategy.
If you want we can talk about why and how I designed my car the way I did and the differences to the one I used on the Hockenheim endurance race.

I am incredibly irritated that my drivers keep sh*tting themselves in a sub-1 difficulty car. I mean it’s statistics so this stuff will happen, but argh.
Link to Google Docs to Not Break Thread
Look at @Absurdist’s total time.
I’m sure there are some errors, so lemme know and I’ll make it better.

^Noted. I did notice though, and had replaced with a hyperlink. Is that still a no-no?
Edit: Hyperlink back in. I’m leaving the comment so other people would know.
Link is okay. You may remove my comment from your post.
Now that IS properly 70s 
Also, @HowlerAutomotive, how did you calculate the number of pitstops we’d need?
The formulae are now on the first sheet.
It’s all based on fuel again. so if you’re running slicks and want to stop early, download the file and delete the extra laps. Any laps beyond “full stints” you need to add manually, look at the formulae on the lines with the colorful squares. I couldn’t be bothered to come up with a way to detect it automatically.
Edit: There is now a second sheet, where I have removed errors from the top 15 to get a feel for what the cars can do. I didn’t check the exact lap for all cars, I checked the amount of errors and averaged out the most obvious outliers between previous and next lap.
@Der_Bayer, is the severity of errors affected by anything else than randomness and drivability? Because this NA car which is supposed to be putty in the driver’s hands is consistently making 75%+ errors in the past few tests where it has run and losing an enormous amount of time.
Fuel; much better, Tire wear; better, Speed; meh, not that much worse.
But much more consistent lap times.
N/A this time, still the same large heavy car. (85-95 kg overweight)
I could try to join you in this, not as analytical as packbat but i’ll make up for it in norwegian “charm”
(Norwegians are known for being particularly lacking in the charm area and quite cold)
Just noticed my fuel consumption: Considering ATT is 4802m, 20 laps is 96040m and I was ready for pit. If I had pitted at this point and continued for full 200km race I would have 1kg of fuel left when I passed the checkered flag. That is cutting it rather close, too close for comfort…

Consider that the 'Ring is 20,8km and we’ll be doing 10 laps. And Spa is ~14km and you’ll need to do 15 laps so 7+8 (and most of spa is brick-on-gas-pedal so I expect consumption will be up).
I’m probably going to be running my turbo, because the NA is slower and isn’t proving any more controllable. The fuel consumption worries me, though.

Reliability is 34.8, I made sure not to sacrifice reliability

The actual lengths of some of the races vary, with only one exactly almost exactly at 200 kilometers and two over 8 kilometers longer than specified.
Betonschleife - 201.696 km or ~202 km.
Diepholz - 200.925 km or ~201 km.
Kassal-Calden - 201.096 km or ~201 km.
Spa-Francorchamps - 211.5 km or ~212 km.
Norisring - 201.81 km or ~202 km.
Nordschleife - 208.52 km or ~209 km.
Mainz-Finthen - 199.752 km or ~200 km.
Hockenheimring - 203.67 km or ~204 km.
Spa, Hockenheim and the Green Hell are all going to force those with no or very little fuel reserves to likely do an extra fuel stop, as especially at Spa where the 1 stop has two different stratagies, each one lap apart (or 14.1 km), alongside the extra 12 kilometers. Having fuel reserves (conservitive estimate around 3-4 ATT laps worth) would probably stop this from happening.
Spa will be interesting for 1 stop; there’s ~113 km (or 23 ATT laps) to cover with a higher fuel consumption than on the ATT.
I’m too lazy right now to look up throttle percentages, but I’d bet you need around 26-28 ATT laps of fuel, depending on the car.
Also, @Der_Bayer ,
do pitstops in brobot take place on the lap before, after or whatever is closer to the specified percentage?
So, I gained 2 seconds in-game, 3 seconds in BRC simulation, and…everybody else gained 5 seconds! smacks head on keyboard
Fuel is same…tire wear is horrendously worse (super heavy car with 6.2L V8), top speed is not at all what I was hoping for. Barely hitting 230km/h!!! smacks head on keyboard again

More people seem to have that top speed issue. But 230 km/h with a 6.2L? How much hp do you make?
I get a 247 km/h top speed with a 4.3L V8.
That time gain thing, yup, same … 6 ranks down with a faster car.
curious whether anyone got knocked off the 110% time now, or did everyone get faster?
@FrankNSTein: after the percentage is met.
@CriticalSet9849 I haven’t checked the 110% times yet, but if it is very close I think I will still accept the cars slightly above it, as it would only hit 1 or 2 cars anyway.
