Was there ever any interest in giving the MX5 max power

TLDR: SM at a minimum. Increase tyre wear significantly. Reduce fuel to 3.

So after some testing with @T F Eccles and @Buster_Danis this afternoon my thoughts are as follows:

SH have the tendency to step out unexpectedly which particularly in the lower divisions has the potential to result in innocent parties being taken out detracting from the side by side racing that the MX5 offers.

SM appeared to hit a sweet spot eliminating the snap oversteer while still being lively when pushing into corners and putting down the power.

With tyre wear at 6 and fuel at 5 (Room settings were incorrect) by the time fuel ran out at lap 11 tyres still felt as good as new so would recommend tyre wear be increased significantly so there is some drop off in grip. Would recommend fuel be reduced to 3 so that a 1 stop can be completed comfortably on fuel while eliminating the possibility of a no stopper.

For some added strategy I would like to see a single set of SS be available provided tyre wear is set appropriately so the two main strategys would be SM, SM vs SM SS SM. It would be compulsory to start on SM so that everyone was on a level playing field in qualifying.

Additionally max power potentially limits the number of suitable tracks as you're likely to hit the limiter on tracks where there is a significant straight.

Yeah, what he said.

@COME_AND_GET_ME7 sorry about the fuel and tyre settings, I did it from memory, knew thee was a 5 and 6 in there somehwere.

SH is just a bit too slippery, such that I am using a fair degree of concentration and caution to keep the car on the track, let alone race anyone. I expect in the higher divs it'd be fine but lower down, chaos. As CAGME says the SM is good mix of grip and slip.

Its stock powers like196hp. Around 260hp its the best thing since sliced bread, Also a fan for Racing Hard rubber

That’s the money

Oh I'm sure we could go for racing meds or sorts

Yes

You wanna race with these as well?
For a car racing league there's a lot of guys who are afraid of driving in here

Yep @COME_AND_GET_ME7 is on the money. Throw away the SH & go with SM & we’ve got a winner! (With an option of SS if the Tyre wear is increased)

hello everyone
not raced much so not very good and never at a club
i was hoping i could join in at the lowest level to try

Another pointless post from another pointless user

Click "like" on the first post in this thread and @Hatfield will help you out

thanks
how do i find the room

It will be friends only so make sure everyone in your Div is on your PSN friends list, or at least the host

A thousand apologies oh exalted one, I shall immediately flagellate myself for not being in your league.

Yes this is a racing league and that's what I enjoy doing, but I do not enjoy losing control and ruining other people's enjoyment coz I crashed and took them out due a twitchy car, nor having to drive uncompetitively to stay on track.
