BRC QuER - Hockenheim 1000 km 1976 [FINISHED]

Boss Motorsports 93 (KLinardo) has a pretty long pit window and has been set up to be consistent on a long run.

Boss 73 (KLinardo2), on the other hand, is a relatively thirsty sprinter.

6th and 15th. I am ok with this. @TheBobWiley Which of your cars is the V12?

If this race happens this weekend, Iā€™m gonna be so happyā€¦
ā€¦World Endurance Championship starts, Chinese Grand Prix AND the 1000km of Hockenheim!

Odin, with the V12 placed 8th, my slightly slower Thor (V8) fell back a good amount in the wet for some reason. They both have nearly identical suspension.

Hopefully the race isnā€™t this weekend, super busy with finals and a concert :slight_smile:

Also, is there a way to bookmark pages in discourse? When Der Bayer changes the post title my bookmark breaks :frowning:

The race will not happen this weekend.

Whatā€™s the deadline for sending our strategy? Still 18th April?

Deadline was on Wednesday. The deadline you are talking about is for BRC 1966.

:cold_sweat:

Both my entries are back to back, Iā€™m not concerned about the Battle Wagon since I did kind of submit it as a novelty, but the Ferritto was my serious attempt and itā€™s about the same, or even inferior on the dry pavement. I get the feeling my best chances will rely on a track full of twisted metal and hopefully my cars not being part of that.

Forgot to redo my strategy. Probably the run till you drop thing will be ok though. But I was half way through doing the math on it XD

V12 turbos now available for the full 1976 seasonā€¦ my body is readyā€¦

as a new entry i learned so much how to tune my car for brc during this pre-season, maybe i can be more competitive during the full season, espacially as the update gives more possibilities :smirk:

Anyone play around since the new update? Total Car cost is stupidly low it seems, I figure its because they put in the factory and design tabs and once you start adding workers the cost will go up? Am able to max almost all quality sliders now before hitting 10k total costā€¦ with an injected turbo V12ā€¦

I will revise the rules before the official season.

That doesnā€™t seem right and is not the case here. Can you give a more concrete example?

Total cost for my V12 car ā€œOdinā€ dropped from a few cents under $10,000 to ~$6,500 after the update hit. Now that we can hire engineers and assign build time/budget I assume that will affect the total cost and production time is no longer a set amount added to the Total Cost automatically.

And its almost a full second faster around Hokenhiem!

Iā€™ve got a car I build last year or so that is now 13 secs faster around the Ring. :rotating_light:

Any idea on when the race will be taking place?

No, not yet. I still have to test the safety car stuff quite a bit.
