@Riso: I still don’t get what you want to say.
@AirJordan: I guess 2 cars will be possible.
Cars will always pit the right amount of time after their last pit stop when in endurance mode. I. e. the timer is always reset, no matter if it was planned or not.
Two cars, both start in lap 4,5.
Car one runs out of fuel in lap 17. Is noted at the end as 13 laps driven.
Car two runs until the end of the session, is noted as 20 laps driven. However car two started in the same lap as car one. Should the counter not take note of that and show it as 15,16 laps in the statistic?

Car two ran 20 laps. It started in lap 4.5. And if the first car started would have continued driving, they would have been at lap 24.5. Or in other words, a car runs 20 laps unless they run out of fuel, which your turbo did.
Will wider tires reduce wear?
Also would the bug that caused my car to not have a body affect its fuel usage?
Car one started four laps after the leader, completed 13 laps, ran out of fuel. Because the ‘leader’ (i.e. whichever car started earliest or was able to pass the car that started earliest) was on lap 17, “lap 17” was displayed at the time it ran out of fuel.
Car two started four laps after the leader, completed 20 laps. Because the session was limited to 20 laps, the leader never went to lap 21, so “lap 20” was displayed at the time it finished.
The lap number in the upper right corner is meaningless in practice because it is the lap number for exactly one car: the leader. That’s why Der Bayer added the laps-completed page.
I believe Der Bayer said they would.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure what these types of cars are called, but yeah, it sits too low to be an SUV, but its too bulky to be a hatchback I think? Still, atypical body doing under 2:19 around the track, albeit with significant tire wear… I am looking forward to this season.
Der Bayer, will we get another practice like this before the main season? I would love to try my current setup against a more… intense… version of the car.

Yes, the car weight to tyre width ratio affects tyre wear.
If I cannot load your car, I will have to disqualify you, because I cannot check which body you used.

I’ve fixed the body issue now I’m just wondering if my fuel usage will be different now because of it.
Probably not.

Great, so Laggator stays! So much tuning to do…
@Riso: Only about 10 or so cars actually ran lap one during lap one. (I didn’t count exactly how many, as I was #1 and #2 out of the gate so I didn’t need to count cars or laps) When my two cars finished, lap 20 was finished (one of mine stopped on lap 12) When the last car finished, it was that car’s lap 20. Math is easy!
First time participating in one of these. Is the Pantera and Ford Falcon bodies legal?
Does cooling afect the chances of blown engine directly or it only takes in effect the reliability number?
What bodies are people using?
Can you use quality sliders on the non tyres tabs? Like gearbox, suspension, bottom, etc…
^ you do know the modpack ‘essentials collection’ right?
the mods in that pack are the only one allowed.
CMIIW here
cooling affect the overall/calculated engine reliability, since brobot doesn’t use the same calculation as the game
there’s both car reliability, and engine reliability, both are different and affects different things.
the bodies people are using varies, as every type of body has their cons and pros, you just have to fine the one suited for this challenge according to you.
and yes on quality sliders.
der bayer, is it possible to just display what lap the car is on, on the car data itself, rather than on the top of the screen, just for both practice and qualifiying?
or is it too a bit too complex for only a small impact?
Now with the addition of the new 70’s rear engine sports car body, I think I should try for a super fuel efficient and light tire wear build…
Anyone played with the new body that was released? I can’t seem to find any sort of usable cornering with it…

The Ford Falcon body is vanilla. And the Pantera one is in the essentials, but it’s also vanilla now.
Are they legal yearswise? Just need someone to confirm that they are 1965 bodies and that we can use 65 bodies.
I’m trying it out now… What are you using for suspension? I’m going with double wishbone all around.
Just set your year and click the “last 10 years” filter in the model tab. That will let you know what bodies are permitted without having to check the dates of each one. I’m pretty sure anything from 1965-1976 is fair game.
After you select your body, remember to click “all years” and advance the year to 1976. The game hiccuped for me when I didn’t select “all years” first - said that it couldn’t find the mesh file for my car body.
Are engine blow or some kinds of failure except driver error disabled in practice?
I think cooling is the reason of so many engine blow in BRC 1966.
actual cooling/required cooling*eng.reliability=BRC reliability?
If this calculation is correct, there will be so many car that explode its engine in this race since engine is bigger than BRC 1966.
