Title: Preseason Test # 3 - Korea & Indinanapolis
Post by: rip|buzinator on November 24, 2010, 01:39:39 PM
Tuesday, Nov 30th, 2010


Cars:
 - Determine desired Fuel burn multiplier

Korea example ... 45L tank good for about 19 laps @ x1 ... estimated GP race length 23 ~ 24.



Korea:
 - Large starting grid support? Large Grids = OK



Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
 - Formula Master AI speed test

Just tested Korea with a large AI Grid (20 cars total) ... no problems.

Just tested Indy.

Positives:
 - I do still have my mod of Indy, fixing the wall pop out prob.
 - I did figure out a way to make the AI competitive, so no ballast needed.

Negatives:
 - The tops speed of the FM car is about 162.5mph, this is reached very easily and very little can be done to improve one's time.
 - You have to REALLY like the sound of the rev limiter, since top speed is reached almost immediately after exiting a corner.
 - Drafting has little to no effect due to terminal velocity being reached early.


We may want to revisit Puebla. Or give Eurospeedway a shot.

Bret expressed a desire to keep at least one ... I'm ok with that personally, the issue for me is the lack of variety, not many exist for Race07.

Sorry I had to bail, got a new welder today, a Miller 180. Once they got it setup I had to play with it and couldn't stop and ended up turning a hand truck into a cart for it. Sweet machine, the 1948 willy dragster project is back on track.
See you guys next week, sorry about the tap BP.

No worries Bret.

Not the easiest track to learn braking points..... especially off line.

Nice welder by the way.  I have been learning the art for a few of years now......

...and I'm still not very good.     :'(

Gimme some details on your project.  Sounds interesting.

I've been telling everyone it's going to be a dragster, but only if the metal starts coming out bad, the floor pan is trashed.
