Grasman Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 It looks like the hard tire performs best when the race temperature, is above 40 celcius. my main competitor in the league was on Mediums and our times are very similar when we are on the same tire. I was faster than him on avg. c.a. 0.3 sec a lap on the hard tire. Very good thing to know for future races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Got another win... moved into 2nd on the table, 17 ahead of 5th. If I can keep this up and get myself a couple of GP's ahead of 5th I'll downgrade equipment in races 14 to 17 to save money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looks like I'm starting p3... doing 3 stops w/softs. I'm finding being conservative with tires and having a lot more use left is much more viable then pushing the limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting p3 as well i just need to wedge a good gap in the standings between me and relegating so i can run a bunch of 99% damage races to save cash (a rookie to ama cheat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 W00t, guy in 5th just put himself and 2 others out of the race so if I can get 2nd I'll be 2 GP's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Another 2nd place... probably should have went for a 2 stopper, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oh, basically burning the car to the ground repairs be damned. When you move upto A do the parts get set back to 0%? Setup for the next race.. actually put a dry setup on the car as the 1st 30 minutes are going to be rain but after that the chances are relatively low. Doing medium tires with a 2 stop race although it'll probably be at least 3 with the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah parts get reset when the next season starts... I think im gonna go with wets this race though because it seems like it may rain for a little more than 30min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm starting on wets.... just have a dry setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasman Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 This is a really hard race to plan for. I'm trying to set the car up for both 1 stop full wet race, a 2 stop wet/dry and a wet/dry/wet. 90l starting fuel and 90/90L for the 2 stops. That will take me all the way if its a full wet with 1 stop (177L needed for a rain race) while also taking me the rest of the way if its a wet/dry or a wet/dry/wet race. The only thing that can fuck this up as far as I can see, is if it stops raining earlier than lap 20 and stays dry throughout the race. for that i need 3 stops on the softs......

Grasman Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Wow, major luck.. I won If it had stopped raining 1 lap earlier I would have been 4th.... phew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I ended up 2nd.... fast progress with new sponsor, not sure how/why since I'm tired as hell and need to hit the sack after being at Road Atlanta all day. Will setup on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not sure how I got 2nd as I got a puncture on lap 1.... but I'll take it. EXPENSIVE race, decided to burn the car to the ground testing since I had numerous components were close to needing replacing anyways. Wings were toast for sure with engine, chassis, brakes and suspension being borderline for race completion. Got 3 stints in testing of 25 laps each which should help driver plus some car points, also downgraded gearbox to lvl 2 to ensure it'll survive. Probably one more replacement.. good news is I am 28 points ahead of 5 AND he is back in the negative. New sponsor is at 53.7 so with a couple more strong finishes I should lock up graduation, sponsor and stop replacing equipment. Starting 3rd, two stopper with mediums.

Guest Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Dominated the race, led most laps, everyone else did 3 or more stops. Does winning the championship give you any money or bonuses? I am reigning in the first place guy and am only 12 points down.. but now nearly 4 GP's ahead of 5th. I suspect after next race I can pull and do the 99% thing to avoid spending cash.. but if it's worth it for the championship I can go for that.

Scooby Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 If i remember correctly you do get more money... i had a damn part problem at the end put me down to 2nd place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 3 million difference from 4 to 1.. not all that much, we'll see how the next couple of races go, may push the limits of parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 W00t! NO part replacement... gearbox and cooling are low 80's after the race so it'll be close. Doing a 3 stopper on softs... currently on pole but that probably won't last. As long as I podium I'll be happy.. sponsor length just needs to be determined so at this pace hopefully in 2 races I'll have that nailed down and work on a 3rd.

Guest Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bloody hell... first pole position and my guy falls asleep. What stops this shit from happening? It's maddening, he's slept on the line 1/2 a dozen times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Blah race.. 3 stopper wasn't the right call with a bunch of wankers doing 1 stoppers. Got held up way too much after that shit start.. had the pace for 2nd but lost too much time. Good news is another podium which should keep the sponsorship speed in place, also got me another round win in the cup standings so that'll be 600K after next race.Seventh podium in a row.. gearbox and cooling must replacements, we'll see what else.

Grasman Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Very good race for me, the perfect strategy. 2 stopper on soft tires. 27/27/26 laps. Lapped everyone but 2nd. 1h37:53.165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
