BRC QuER - Hockenheim 1000 km 1976 [FINISHED]

Now, I shouldn’t comment on what I vote for, because I wouldn’t want to skew it but,
Is it bad if I I had a twitch reaction to Bit’s Snuggles car and rated it a 5?

There are some really nice cars in there. There’s one that I’m in love with but I’ll wait to after voting to say. Others… You know, not so much, I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy them, I’m just saying I’d probably use monopoly money instead. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oof - that was a lot of cars. I doubt I’d come up with the same votes twice, but hopefully I haven’t given too many 0s to pretty cars or 5s to ugly heaps. There were definitely both represented. :stuck_out_tongue:

nope. i did the same

that said. how do i quote?

and also. denta… wtf is with your power curve O_O it looks like a mountain cliff silhoutte

Highlight the text you want to quote.

well… that i have never seen in my life… so thx

DAT FLAREEEEEEE MY EYEEESSSS

I have to say, the range of designs really is marvellous. There were some I found to be…questionable, and others I immediatley fell in love with.

its not only me who decide go crazy with turbo cliff power curve :stuck_out_tongue:

btw packbat, i got some question about your fuel estimation formula. since some turbo setting have more earlier power peak than NA engine and ours car will mostly run in late RPM far from turbo power peak, are the actual race fuel consumption is more worst than the fuel estimation formula result?

sooo. will there be a reward for the lowest fuel consumption on the race?

I’m really nervous about my cars’ fuel consumption. I’m not sure about my calculations at all.

@koolkei Bragging rights?

unlikely. puffster have the lowest consumption if the calculation is accurate.

but mine is the more likely one to finish :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: okay i’ll be honest. i want to feel like at least i ‘win’ something, because frankly my car doesn’t seem to be a winner

I do not think that city driving statistics is relevant to our cars. Mine for example chugs less as it goes closer to redline, some engines chug more higher up the revs. So there’s that. Fairly certain we won’t find out till first pit stops start

@squidhead That is correct!
Whoever is participating in our little challenge probably will be sticking out quite a bit in the race stats.I’m looking forward to that.

Good morning @Killrob , strange not hearing your commentary this race but it was explained that summer time hours don’t do you a favour.

Anyhow, if someone have missed it, Der Bayer said that sometime this week we will see practise. Good times :slight_smile:

Yes, before it was bad already with the broadcast starting at 7am, now it would be 5am. :slight_smile: Although, getting up at 5am to comment on you car doing so well (because it was tuned for Brands Hatch) to then see it fail when it did would have been a great pleasure! ;-D

I hope I at least do half decent. I think I have the best 0-100 time, but I couldn’t quite get that 2:19-2:22 range on the track. And I have no idea what I was doing with the BRCTool setup, so let’s hope that goes well :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I can’t say as I noticed a huge difference from my estimates with my own entries, both of them turbos - I’d be interested to hear if others have. It’s a very rough estimate anyway - basically just for ballpark purposes - but I don’t see a theoretical reason why it would be less accurate for these turbo cars than for, say, a NA car with the peak power cut off by a low redline.

Based on your calculations and my guess that Hring has r=0.75 I calculated that turbo will run out of fuel at 8-9min (4laps) and it did 5 laps, and calculated 18min for NA and it managed 20. EDIT: laps not minutes… 18 and 20 laps
Pretty good I would say.

I’m guessing it doesn’t. I used the 0.75, and the end result judging by the first test session, well I’ve been able to drive 14% further than predicted.

That’s about right - the median car should go about 17% further than r = 0.75 would predict. It’s an intentionally conservative estimate.

(That is, assuming that Hockenheimring is exactly the same as Norisring, which it isn’t.)
