ONR RoadRunner - Tyre Pressure formula CONCLUDED!

Car No. #1 (2697 Weight):
Front Tyre Pressure: 29.0 psi
Rear Tyre Pressure: 29.0 psi

Car No. #2 (3509 Weight):
Front Tyre Pressure: 32.2 psi
Rear Tyre Pressure: 32.2 psi

Hi RR, now that gives quite different results eh :-)?

To me your new formula is definitely an improvement, could only test the first configuration (2697) and I was able to improve my PB on Long Beach Full by almost half a second. It seems to me that it is grippier especially on tight turns.

Out of curiosity I actually have a third configuration with 2772 and tried manually tweaking the tyre pressure and came up with 29.4 psi that gave me the fastest time, would your formula give the same result?

Best regards

Same tyre stats?

If they are the same stats then:
Front: 29.3 psi
Rear: 29.3 psi

Yep same stats, I will give it a try thanks!

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
Front 275/35R19
Rear 345/30R19
Weight 3667 lbs

Looking forward to running at Long Beach for time comparison.

Front Tyre Pressure: 28.9 psi
Rear Tyre Pressure: 26.6 psi

Alright, my PB @ Long Beach East in Cadillac on Original TP formula was 00:58.262
My best time on New TP formula is 00:58.131
So I gained 00:00.131

Car felt like it had a little more grip, especially the last 2 turns for this circuit. I could carry more speed on correct line than I could with old formula.

Great to know! thanks,
RR

I got the time down to a 00:57.948 now. So that’s an improvement of 00:00.314 over my original time on old formula, which was 00:58.262. Very good job. I had to change some settings on my Thrustmaster, like put FFB back to 100 & DOR @ 540°.

I don’t know what those settings are but YEEYEYEEY!! Well I’m a very happy Meep Meep =P
RR

LOL I set Force Feedback at 100 (that is the max, determines how much resistance I feel with wheel going through turns) & changed the Thrustmaster Wheel degree of rotation to 540° from the default 900°.

I will probably put up some settings later

RR,

You can generate the numbers of pressure for the Mclaren F1 Vintage ? I ask this because we do not have the numbers of tires , only power and the like.

Car # 11 Team McLaren M23
Weight = 1,263 lbs
Front = 34 %
Power = 465 HP
Torque = 260 LB - FT
Displacement = 3.0 L

Do some research! I’m sure you’ll find the tyre sizes!
RR

How can we obtain the formula RR? I know you said the VB software is not a trial so we can get that easy but will you be publishing a file for it or something else at all?

I’m gonna try to create a complete tuning formula for spring tyre pressure damping etc…
So probably sometime in the latter part of the year.
RR

Not to be rude. But your formula could very well be wrong because each tire uses a different set a specs. Depending on the tire, you’re gonna get different results. I think that you should focus on the race tire.

Until there is proof, I’m going to accept it as right!
RR

I have a couple of cars I’d like pressures for (lbs) if you would…

2,972lbs
F-275/30R19
R-315/30R19

2,229lbs
F-255/40R17
R-295/35R17

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
