BRC: Shakedown Challenge [FINISHED]

:laughing: well my flintstone car is no much better :blush:
We have to improve in the next rally (this one is ā€˜almost lostā€™ :laughing: )

Wow, 3rd, above my expectations :laughing:
My day is made. Iā€™m curious how next stage will turn out, probably not as well with the gear ratios :stuck_out_tongue:
Good race everyone!

15 in both catā€™sā€¦ not too bad ^^ especially for the Spade which should be the only estate based entry!

thanks for organizing this Bayer :slight_smile:

Yeah, I think I just need to keep a close eye on my carā€™s weight and try for MORE POWER! Next time :wink:

Not sure if this has been answer as I only just saw it on FB, but can I enter both Group B and the 1600 Demo class with different cars?

If so, Iā€™ll enter in a couple of days, if late entries are allowed?
Havenā€™t played for months so need to get up to speed!

Welp, only real way for my companyā€™s cars to go are up! Wellā€¦ down by 1 as well, but still. Next set of rally challenges I think Iā€™ll actually have something for Group B (NA powered though).

You could have entered both competitions with different cars, but it is too late now. However, this round was really meant as a test to see how things went and if anything needed to be changed for the proper competition, so you arenā€™t missing out on a huge amount

Iā€™m honestly rather pleased with a result on the lower end of the board. Because itā€™s exactly that, a result.

I focused way too much on making my car tame over giving it enough power to fight with the 400+ horsepower monsters.

Power isnā€™t everything as my Volvo proves. It is getting spanked by almost every other car becuase it is an undrivable mess of a thing :s .

In a little R&D session I just had, upgrading to my newest prototype resulted in a time nearly 15 seconds faster. Hopefully Iā€™ll be able to bring my best next time.

I canā€™t believe I missed this. Oh well, iā€™ll have to enter in the next one I guess. Good luck everyone

Its not the end of the world and its too late to fix now, but iā€™ve just noticed that for some reason my car is listed as 1110kg, when it should be 1100.1kg. I only noticed because I was checking out the stats of what seems to be my main rival, dduff442ā€™s Padiwagen, and comparing it to my own car

The model I have from you is saying 1110 kg. Thatā€™s all I can say.

his is a bug! the data jump at every save up or down

I think that the trigger is the brake size

Stay tuned for the stage 3 results which will come tomorrow (probably at the same time of the day)! Stage 2 track files have been added for download in the second post of this thread.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Well Iā€™ll be! Held on to 8th even with the slowest top speed of the field. :slight_smile:

The 3rd stage gonna be a hellā€¦ a curve!! a curve!! :laughing:

Top marks for consistency with my car. 5th again :smiley:

More importantly, I seem to have pulled ahead of dduff442 in his Paddywagen. Hopefully enough to make up for my comparatively poor handling.

edit
I just tried The I6 version of my car that I made on Monday. It would have got 1st on stage 2 with a 6:45.34.

Combined with its 4th place time on stage 1 of 5:41.10, that gives a total of 12:26.44, which would have been enough for 3rd

Urgh. This stage should have been ideal. Thereā€™s got to be a high-speed cornering issue with the Padiwagen because its high-speed acceleration is very good. Stage 3 wonā€™t be kind, so 5th is safe from me anyway.
