Bamboo and I have been testing all morning. We have found that acceleration tests result in very close lap times. I'll be watching the F1 race and checking My lounge for friends stopping by.
Thanks Mike, mmacek96

I have only recently tested the Speed test pack Add On (see playstation store). The acceleration tests have been useful to me several times so far. It doesn't take too long to test a couple trans settings and find all kinds of time.

I wish I could have attended this practice, but I have been busy lately.

So are you matching the car settings using the Speed Tester, to make the cars even?

Hi MGT, Yes A group of Guys have tried this technique of matching cars for events, If You have a chance check out a few cars acceleration capabilities, match em up then run some laps. Please post Your results somewhere or here. So far this method seems to work quite well. Thanks MGT and Maybe Us Tuna's can check out the Method as well.

My goal is to match up some cars for Monday Night Racing, but I haven't seen what works.

I heard another group was doing something, but haven't found the details yet.

I promise I'll make this as painless and easy as possible  ::)
all Ya gotta do is visit Your Local Rt X The performance testing track in Your pre 1978 ride.

They might even school up if We have enough. In each Group
Next Test em
Group 1> Small Production cars 18 sec 1/4 mile 105 mph or so at the 1 mile mark. Old scool mini, bug, ginetta, 2002, alpines etc. about 80 to 100 hp, less for lite wieghts
Group 2> Small Sports Cars, Sports racers 13 sec 1/4 mile 150 or so @ 1 mile Alfa TZ, XKE, Stratos Both styles etc.
Group 3> 13 sec 1/4 mi. 150 or so @ the mile mark. Big Bore Cars Camaro RM, Vette, Art Morrison, Grand Touring Garage Stang, Challenger RM, and Euro Exotics lambos 512 boxxers etc.
prototypes > 400 hp other details still to figure out. Toyota 7 ford Gt and MkIV, Ferrari 330 P Jag XJ13
