Scooby Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I tried to prepare for rain like an idiot But this next track will rain most of the race, unfortunately its a part killer if i remember correctly, high wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 If it is a high wear track then I'll have to do some testing.. finish off components then spend gobs of money switching em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I need to do more testing to get my pilot's stamina up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 This is what I'm seeing for wear: Chassis - 29 Engine - 87 FW - 16 RW - 16 underbody - 28 pods - 21 cooling - 26 gb - 25 brakes - 24 susp - 33 Problem is right now I got several components in the 45 to 60% range which chassis and wings higher.. so for me replacing is the only way to go and since I'm replacing anyways I might as well burn em to the ground. Motor will need to be replaced prior... and then after the race too. Gonna be an expensive couple of weeks. Wish we could do either/or strat.. if it rains do XX, if it's dry do XX. I'm thinking 3 stopper might work here with softs.. pitting at 17,33,49 but with wets they last so much more, wouldn't want 3 stints of fuel... would rather have 1 fuel stop and call it a day.

Scooby Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is that with zero CT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 With 0: Chassis - 22 Eng - 71 Wings - 11/13 UB - 23 SP - 14 Cool - 17 GB - 22 Brakes - 20 Suspension - 27 Electronics - 13 Fair bit of reduction but not great.. still a lot of wear. How much does 0 CT risks slow you down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasman Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm trying for 1 stopper in this race. 45-47 laps on wet tires and hope the rain has stopped by then. Hard tires for the rest of the race, regardless of whether it has stopped raining by then... I either lose out badly or gain greatly, depending on when the rain stops.

Guest Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think I'm gonna change my lap change over to 3... that way if it starts dry I'll at least have 3 laps before pitting for dries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasman Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I've just been invited to join a team... Tempting since they allegedly have a lot of info and share willingly. Hmmm Should i join these guys to gain knowledge to bring to our team when we finally get one going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been considering that. Although, I doubt it will stop raining before lap 32 anyway, the hard tires should hold 35 om 0CT (for my driver at least) I'm a bit more worried about it raining longer than lap 47,,, then I have to do the rest of the rain laps on dry hard tires.... hopefully very very few laps though...

Guest Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well that bit of testing + car lvl2 + engine lvl3 helped. Q3, 1/2 second off of pole.. actually tied for 2nd place. Selected mediums for dry tire allowing for a 2 stop strat.. of course if it stays wet I'll have plenty of rubber at the end but if it goes dry for extending time it should work out, we'll see. My cars strong suits are power and acceleration so it suits the track perfectly. With virtually all new components and 0 risks I should ahve a good shot at winning thing.

Guest Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Aw yeah, what do you hear? That's the sound of the US National Anthem playing.

I started 15th.. I started on wets and they had worn down to 60% in the 4 laps it was dry... Thank god it started raining early and it stayed raining through the whole race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 hey guys my driver keeps falling asleep at the start of the race. Is he a keeper or what he needs to train to prevent that? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 What do you have the start set at? It's possible it's too high. Setup for a 2 stopper at Austin... softs, will have a few laps of excessive wear but hopefully the gains from the tires will offset that.
