Another set of cars that doesn't get a lot of use. These are fun cars to drive. They're light, low powered, and they're classics. The 420PP spec is really good for most of these cars (a few might require Minor detuning).
I don't have the specs finalized, but I may go with the traditional 420pp (for most cars). It fits these cars nicely. I can say that the only class fitting car I don't want to see is the Europa. It's too damn fast. The Europa is welcome, I guess. My first tests were with kg/hp ratio, where the Europa kicked ass. With PP matching, it wasn't quite so dominant. If you notice you're cleaning up every race because of your great car, lower your PP 5 or 10 to see what happens.
This will basically be just a bunch of random races on custom tracks. I will make a few tracks, short and long, and a few others load theirs in the lounge. I'll try to get races around 10-12 minutes long.
Generic Suspension Tune - will help most cars with mid-corner stability (if you know a better way, do share
:
Ride Height: F 0, R 10
Spring Rate: 8.0, 8.0
Dampers Comp: 6, 3
Dampers Ext: 5, 2
Sway Bar: 2, 1 (or stock)
Camber: 0, 2.0
Toe: 0.00, 0.00
The first 4 areas were the ones that helped me the most. I didn't test the last 3 much, but I suspect that if the cars are too loose, some + rear toe might help. I think this tune helps the stability of most of these cars mid corner. You could tune them to make them corner faster/quicker, but be careful, it's easy to make them unstable.
