I hereby set a relatively small challenge, make your car go faster than mine around full Pikes Peak. Time is 7:48.650, good luck. (evidence will be sent along this on the discord server chat)
Lap time made by Dodeusz#5948
If you beat that time, dm it to me (crusader#3233)
That would involve clicking on your user name, and then clicking on the message button in your profile tab - but I suspect you are too new to these forums to send or receive DMs. However, once you become a regular user, you will be granted both of those privileges on these forums. That might explain why you also want to accept submissions via Discord.
Current record holder with a time of just over 5:52, this run was made in 4.18. Car is up on the beam repository if anyone wants to take a drive. I’ve been told it drives badly with a wheel, so keep that in mind. Record lap was done with keyboard and copius amounts of practice.
spamming +15 ofc, the tricky part to get right is the aero which took a long time to nail… engine, gearing and suspension are fairly simple parts in comparison IMO
yeah, I made a car with around 1400 pounds of DF in beam and the poor thing cant even move an inch without scraping along the ground. I’m guessing I have some suspension tuning to do.
that’s another part of it, making sure the car doesn’t scrub… ride height (both the setting and what the body will allow), springs, even tire size… with enough fine tuning you can get ridiculously high downforce without scraping so much, but as you can see in the video the top speed is not that great anyway, only around 185mph for a car with 1200+hp… you just need to sort of gauge what you need most, top speed vs downforce. in my case going crazy with downforce helped a lot more for the laptimes.
