Tire and fuel wear are tunafied you say?

Something like that.  I'm not criticizing anyone's event, just one of their parameters.   :D

You want Jimmie's Johnson Rick?

My wife might, but I'm not much into tube steak.  As far as my driver choice, just add someone for me.  I don't follow NASCAR or any racing for that matter, so I can only name a handful of guys.  I'll take whoever.

I forgot all about this, and will probably need another reminder next week.  :-[

Put me down for Dale Jr.

How is the qualifying going to work by the way. If we are not there on Wednesday and show up for the 125's does it affect where we start? And vice versa.

He may have run into the track drying truck under caution if that's what you mean?

Stay thirsty  ^-^

Qualifying next week Wednesday.  Don't worry if you can't make it, as we will run the 125's for those who missed qualifying.

Don't forget, 2 TIMED laps only.  :)

I still haven't done anything yet. Didn't we have a Nascar tune posted somewhere around here?

Here is a link that has some. It's fairly old and I don't know how well it works with the new physics but it's a start.

Thank you. I've seen a few now with similar ride hight, springs and shocks. So that will be a good beginning.

I'm curious about this as well.  I know for fact I can't make the Wednesday qualifying.   

I haven't chosen a driver yet.  Im waiting until the last possible moment.  I need to watch some testing before I make my pick.  When do you need that by?

One of the things I noticed recently is that a lot of races seem to have fuel and tire wear set at fast or very fast.  I thought we all agreed that PD butchered the original set up in the game where you could get like one lap at Suzuka before you started to show wear and the tires got slippery.  I expected more to see more and more races with normal wear, but that doesn't seem to be the case (granted, I don't race in every event, but I've been trying to make sure you guys get plenty of opportunities to see me lately   ).

What's the fascination with slippery tires and pitting?

I could say the same about the tuneless evnets, but eh...   :-\

The purpose of the regs is to get as best we can to what is run for the real 500.  Aero minimum was to control top speed, tires to mimic pit windows using sports with fast wear, which equaled out tires/fuel ratio.

The 125's were usually meant to allow 2 drivers into the field by racing their way in.  I am going to do a sort of similar race, with the field will be locked in per who made qualifying and the 125's (with others as fillers) finishing orders will determine the rest of the grid.  It will consist of 3 separate races, with race 1 and 2 both being 10 laps (groups of 8 cars) and the final race being 25 laps with all drivers on track.  An average of the 3 races will be used to set final positions.

Also, the real world driver you are pairing with needs to be in before our race on Sunday.


Hope that helps.  :)

Just wanted to verify the HP figure is correct at 571???  When I took my brand new JPM Chevy to get an oil change it showed 571 PP after the change.  Cutting HP to 571 requires engine limiter at over 66%.  This is correct?
