02/21/13 ToC: Nascar.. Roadcar!
« on: February 20, 2013, 09:21:43 AM »


================
Class in Session
================





=======
Daytuna Road Course / Indy Road Course
=======

 





When: Thursday, February 21nth
Official Running Time: 7-11:00pm EDT
Lounge:  HostTuna
Lounge HP Limit:  601
Lounge KG Limit:  1560
Car Setup: Open
Tires:  Racing Hards
Tire Wear:  Fast
Grid:  Reverse grid based on previous results
Start Times:  Auto clock set to 6 mins
Lap Count: 6


Wrinkles:  None! Race clean, race hard, have fun!

NOTE:  This week I want to run them detuned down to 601hp (down to about 68-73% power), not wide open as usual, to aid for more comfortable driving for everyone on road courses.  Even at 601hp they're still quite beastly but not nearly as much as if they were at full power :).

:stoopid:  Had a blast last night!  Considering how bulky and powerful they were (even at just 601hp) I thought they handled surprisingly well at those two road courses.

throttle control is the biggest issue with these cars when exiting hairpins, the torque can bite you in the ass if the earlier than normal braking points don't... :-X

Sorry I had a drink in my hand. 


Also, good thing they are heavy and not easily knocked around 1565kg was useful for that at least. Again Sorry Ex.
