That's a pretty crappy design. Who only drinks 12oz of beer? A pint would be better or how about a German Mass.

Post by: EX_stream_tuna on June 11, 2014, 07:27:39 AM: I'm sure the engineers at SOLO figured out that after 12oz of beer in a plastic cup on a muggy day, one's drunkeness has a habbit of causing one's hand to slip due to condensation on the cup ;) :laugh

Post by: BakedTuna on June 13, 2014, 08:40:52 AM: Bump

If you hate Ascari these cars may help you learn to enjoy the place

If you love Ascari here is an excuse to have fun with friends there

If you have not ran CiaY before these are only 180 hp and would be a great way to get into the series

For everyone that has ran with us I look forward to seeing y'all out there again soon.
Title: Re: CiaY Season 6 Caterhams
Post by: EX_stream_tuna on June 13, 2014, 08:46:33 AM: I actually happen to love Ascari. I just hated the way my Caterham performed last week (and my mental state)

If I happen to be able to attend, could someone throw up some Diff settings that work well? I think that is what my car needs most. Thanks

Seems OK.

Post by: EX_stream_tuna on June 13, 2014, 10:52:19 AM: Thanks Bada!

I think that low-ish 18 setting on the middle setting is the key. It should keep it from snapping into oversteer mode. Differential tuning is the thing that interests me the most lately, as it's been one of the things I've understood the least.

Motor City Hammy has a good write-up on GTP about tuning in general, and the Diff section really gave me a lot of perspective.

The measuring line marks is a lie.

Also, the cake is a lie too.

Post by: BakedTuna on June 21, 2014, 11:53:52 AM: Thin crowd but fun racing. Points are updated. Next week we are at Matterhorn the Rifflesee & Rotenboden circuits.
Title: Re: CiaY Season 6 Caterhams
Post by: Feldynn on June 21, 2014, 01:10:41 PM: I pulled a B-Spec move at Monaco and caught that guard rail on the left entering the chicane (after the tunnel) about halfway through I think, though it turned out that made the last 3rd or so of the race very exciting as I tried to catch up to Baked and we had some pretty intense racing together all the way to the finish line :).

Also, all information regarding Matterhorn has been redacted.
;D

Congrats to Three Time Champion of CiaY you know him you love him, the one and only badaboya. As well as the three championships he has yet to finish off the podium at the end of any season showing consistency in all types of cars. Nice job out there.

Going into next season three different men have all 6 CiaY titles between them are we going to see a fourth next season? Looking forward to trying and to more fun racing.

See ya next season.
