Sorry didnt make it in time for your room last night
@Beau_Albert, Was busy with kiddies stuff.
ok guys.....still a way to go with this HOWEVER, after running some of these cars last night some are absolute crackers....all these were driven with tuning ON, however i didnt make any big adjustments so i could feel what they were like straight out of the box. I DID however (along with
@v8power383 and some others) make a 1% change to brake ducts so the fuel filled to the default for the car.
Radical SR3 and Formula C ......... BRILLIANT race cars and would be awesome i think for season 3. Minimal adjustment would be required (although CAGME was 2.5 secs faster with a tune in the formula c
). Heaps of grip, lots of brakes and very nimble cars. Also had a decent slip stream to help promote passing. Great out of the box, both would work in a non tune series as well. The radical also has lights if we went down the "night Race" path.
Caterham SP/300R .......... An open wheeler in the same style as the Radical, however think about the Radical blended with the V8SC ! Felt heavier on the throttle, and under braking than the Radical, but still had loads of grip. Also "think" it has KERS so not sure if it has push to pass ???? Had the electricity symbol in the dash.
V8SC ......... to me feels great, long breaking zones in it with the narrow tires and low down force. Agree that it will be more tune sensitive, rather ironic given the voices that want tuning
. Sounds great, looks good and as Seth said is generally a sunday night winner with the masses.
Formula Gulf ...... Wasnt a fan TBH. Was very gutless low in the rev range, and was very loose in the rear end. i felt i Almost needed to drive it like a Kart, could probably be tuned out however.
Pagani Zonda R ......... wasnt a fan for the Sunday league. Other than sounding like i had a angry wasp in my headset every time i changed gears, the car tried to kill me on corner entry, exit and in a straight line. In the interest of less members breaking their PS4s i think we keep this one out of the mix ! (sorry V8)
Although i am not a fan of tuning, i do think that with the Radical or Formula C we could run tuning on, wear on real and have a compulsory pit stop. Would need to test that particular scenario, however i think that the wear and fuel levels should provide a little strategy. Both cars use minimal fuel so i don't even think they would need to take on fuel. Also with the rate they use their tires, even the banshees would get through to the end of the race without having to change their tires. Is one of the many things we could debate about "racing" but i digress and may just be in a grumpy mood
As you know, the issue with NON TUNE is the fact that unless the driver makes a change to the car, it will give enough fuel to finish the race, rather than the default amount (90ltrs or whatever). Those on low fuel have an obvious advantage, if they decide to not make a change to the settings to get the default amount.
Anyway, test out the cars above, and throw up any others you want us to try.....remember we are catering for a wide range of driving styles, abilities and hardware so whatever is decided on needs to try to cover those bases for the majority..... i would love to have it narrowed down to 3 cars by the end of the week to get things rolling
