quik, the car seems to work better with a slightly deflated tire...

Since we usually run with damage/fuel/tire wear off, tire pressure shouldn't have much impact, but you can run what pressure you think works for you.

 

[Lotheron]

So quick, you making a return as well?

 

[ivan2]

alright more enduro talk, tried 2 more cars, the jag and the 911, the 997 GT3 blows away everything tested so far at 453 HP except for the 540HP gallardo. too many cars to put restrictions on, i think we should just do the -30 PI for waldo thing (and let the lambos and fords GT's back in).

I was only gone for 2 races (ahem unlike other people :awe while I was finishing my first playthrough of Mass Effect 2.

Finished season 3 in career sunday. Next up is R3 racing and it looks like I'll have to buy one as I'm still getting S class cars for level rewards.

In FM2 the best R3 car for me was the red dodge. I see it's in FM3 along with others. I was looking at getting a white one that shows to have better stats. Before spending 300k on it I was wondering what R3 car everyone here liked?

 

[Lotheron]

Poh-Sha!!!!!!

I'm in agreement. Only restrictions should be RWD, A600 and possibly forced forza aero.

mazda R1 car you get in career with an engine swap. or FXX

Roc-Kit-Car!!!!!!

fixed it for you the thing does a godly 170 at the end of mugello straight (and 57" sharp tsukuba).

 

[Kabob]

Issue is that the 997 GT3 has no aero bits.

R1 Mazda does R2, didn't know it did R3 though.

 

[ivan2]

Issue is that the 997 GT3 has no aero bits.

it is just how the car is, aero bits won't change it much, there's only a maximum of 3~5 MPH difference between a least aero and a full aero car at the mugello straight, putting that number in the porsche it will still smoke a lot of other proper race cars. granted, it is slower at hill climb, and i was wondering why i keep hitting 911s in the public room :biggrin:. it makes it all up with the high speed accel, watching that thing go from 150-160 is nuts.

 

[Kabob]

Hrm, you need to send me that GT3 build

 

[ivan2]

ill send you the one im running now, could be tiny bit of understeering. basically widen tire stock compound, sport tranny, race clutch, all handling, no weight reduction and the rest goes to engine.

it's fast, but not lambo fast yet.

I used the Dodge Viper ACR with the AWD swap and Dodge Stock Car Engine swap, and a few other minor upgrades to get it to R3-800. Blows everything else away.

Id prefer no forced aero actually. At that point we can go straight up RWD, A600 with -PI reductions for the leaders in an attempt to keep things even.

Is everyone OK with this? Should we begin another thread for the Endurance races?

Those vipers with AWD are insane.

Once again, I'd prefer to have no PI changing as constantly changing your parts/tune gets annoying for we non-tuner types.

SO RWD, A600, no PI changes or parts changes once season starts?

I'm OK with that, it's just that we're going to have people going away with the race each week and it probably wont be close by the end.

 

[Kabob]

Power:weight ratio requirements?? That might be worth looking into.

That might turn a lot of people off that just want to get in and race to have fun. Besides, how would we know what happy medium is?

Nice to know that it can be downgraded to lower classes. If that is a freebie R1 it will be awhile before I get it as I'm still getting S class cars.

Is that the one you get for leveling up or a different one? IIRC the last car I received was Mine's R34, but I remember there being an S class dodge level reward.

 

[Kabob]

I figure most of the people who want to join in on the enduro probably aren't people who just want to jump in and race, but perchance that's just me.

I mean, you could say (for instance)
2000-2400 lbs: > 300 hp
2401-2700 lbs: > 350 hp
2701-2900 lbs: > 400 hp
2901-3000 lbs: > 420 hp
3001-3200 lbs: > 440 hp
3201-3400 lbs: > 460 hp
3401-3600 lbs: > 480 hp
3601-3700 lbs: > 500
3700 lbs +: > 530 hp

(using those #'s purely for example). At that rate you just look at the numbers, figure out where your car falls and you're good to go.

 

[ivan2]

hopeless, if you must spend money on a car, spend it on an LP640.

The best GT R3 cars are probably the ferraris and i think the top computer drives a F430. You can buy them cheaply in the AH because people get them for free. it won't be 300k, more like 20-30k.

otherwise use the reward cars, the viper is a reward car, after that u will get a reventon that is also very fast, and then a vyreon and FXX.
