So this will be my first BRC and i missed this grrrr
This was mine. I almost entered the BRC 66, but missed the entry cutoff date by about 15 hours.
Gonna have to throw RP to the wayside next time, or I may get cut!
I ā¦ was actually hoping to bring RP back in - the Hockenheimring Specials just werenāt competitive enough to make me happy, so I want to see what I can do with my old 3.3L SOHC V8 and another big FR coupe.
Thanks a lot for the camber info @FrankNSTein @austrogalant @TheBobWiley @SkylineFTW97 - should give me something to go on.
I think I had about -1.3 camber on the cars.
Would be great if the game were to show some expected tyre wear instead of this guesswork.
If such a thing reliably existed in real life, itād change F1 a whole lot 
Or maybe thatās just because of the specific brief the tyre manufacturers get given. Was tyre wear more predictable back when Bridgestone was supplier?
Bridgestone basically built bricks. Also F1 had free testing a decade ago, you could have all the data you wanted.
Plus unlike we, teams are able to adjust suspension for each track and see how it performs.
Adjustable settings (suspension, fuel mixture / ignition timing, ā¦ ) between each event would be a nice thing, but I donāt expect that in brc soon because itās also a lot of extra work for Der_Bayer.
Not to mention a lot of work for us! I was practically pulling my hair out tuning suspension for one track!
Yeah. The whole reason I built the van (my first entry) was to cool off from building my second.
What a race! 
Amazing! With a bit wider weather gap I could easily be in top 3! But than again without tricky weather changes I would struggle in top 5, maybe even in top 10.
Shame for my sensible-ish number 1 car that crashed at the beginning (nerdās russian driver simply executed a headshot), now I have no way to compare strategies.
Congrats to @Leonardo9613! Thanks to commentators (@KLinardo you fit really well in and since you are no developer/Betatester I enjoy the number of questions on BRC and calculations). Of course massive kudos to @Der_Bayer.
Few tweaks here and there (I must squeeze an extra lap or two with those times) and Iām ready for the season. Or Iām Iā¦not sure who will pay that fuel bill againā¦

Iām currently watching the race, and Iāve learned that any tire wear over 20% completely destroys my times, so some tweaks are needed in my car to keep it consistentā¦ Like pit stops when the tires get to 18% not 25% like I was pushing. And some engine tweaks as well.
Edit: Ouch! I had to pit on the last lap for fuel. I will probably try a lightweight, under 5L V8 for the official series, as my 455 or so ci V8 had too much torque, and the weight with the torque hurt my tire wear.
I dropped an entirely new engine into the car Iāll be using during the real BRC. The one I used was fuel efficient (for a high revving V8), but lacked the power I needed to pull away on the straights. However, it was really good in the corners, and the rain didnāt drop my lap times by much.
Iāll probably go with some refined version of the hockenheim car and (if the 2 car rule stays) a completely different concept for the other one.
Only one car per player in the future. It was a complete mess.
Just as well, I tried two radically different approaches. A novelty station wagon, and a serious mid engine low power lightweight racer. Despite the major differences they were only two places apart!
I think the one car rule is appropriate, but I was happy to have a go at both N/A and Turbo Designs. Problem now is that I have no clue what car I should rebuild for the real series. Iāll wait on rule updates in the mean time.
Will there even be any rule updates aside from restricting admissions to one per person again?
Cost limit would be interesting as the $10k cars from Hockenheim now cost around $5-7k in the current release version.
