I can run consistently in the 50.9-51.2s. I had a few 50.8s and 2 50.7s, the lowest was a dirty 50.740. I dont think theres much left in it for me, no matter what i change the range is still the same.
This extremely high bump has a lot of understeer, so i did as much as i could to counteract that, i added .5 and .1 toe out, camber is 1.5 and 1, and arbs are front min rear max.
Few dirty 50.9s was all I could muster in the end. Spent too long trying to improve the build/tune - only made it worse. Although max rim size seems to make it slightly more responsive despite the extra weight.
My theoretical best lap would be 50.8xx based on my split times.
Could be psychological but the car feels more grippy in laps 1-5 rather than doing 10+ laps.
I think once you get past 5 laps, frustration starts to set in and you start switching things up to find time. Brake a little later, accelerate a little sooner etc, usually doesnt work out well.
The other thing that i do is i pick my own rival and when you beat them a new one doesnt show up. So im just racing my split times with no ghost. I find when im shaving time and the ghost is too close its distracting.
But at this point, this car is being pushed to its limits. We both passed the former top time with this car, so congrats.
I always race ghost cars as it’s easier for me to see where I’m gaining and losing. There’s only 2 places I slightly gain on your ghost - through turns 1/2 and the 2nd to last right (the one that’s so easy to cut!)
I usually just know when I’ve done my best lap and I haven’t felt that yet. I felt it with the Senna.
All good fun.
1 more attempt tomorrow…
Yea i race ghosts as well, but when theyre on top of my car i dont like it. I wish you could toggle it on and off with a button.
Amazing mate. Nicely done!
To you as well, Mugello always pushes competition. Its a short lap but theres a lot going on in there.
Saw your time and knew I wouldn’t get near it but happy with the .8
Fun combo and great competition this week 
Edit, actually, it’s the : where it should be a .
Edit 2: imma just have to fix it in post
PHLS#35 PLAYER#@gAdam6981 T50#51.395 LINK#1453 OVERRIDEDEADLINE#
Attention racers,
Event 35 is over, and here are the abridged results, with full results and more on the event sheet.
PHLS#36 officially starts now, and welcome to the Summer World Tour.
The Summer World Tour is a 4-week special multiclass event. There are 6 classes, from D to R, each with 8 to 12 cars to choose from. Each class will be scored independently, and you can enter any and all classes. The full car list will be detailed in the top post.
When you think JDM, you think of a bunch of cars, FD RX-7, 350Z, Nissan R32 and R34, Supra Mk4, AE86, all these iconic cars featured in movies, anime and videogames. This isn’t about these cars. This is about the worst gen Civic, the forgotten rally homologation specials, and other quirky Japan-only sports cars.
After 1931 Australia’s Big Three were subsidiaries of US companies: GM/Holden, Chrysler and Ford. Due to its position on the world map, it was easier and cheaper to build cars locally than import them, which gave these Australian subsidiaries enough latitude to develop their own models, such as the Chrysler Valiant or Ford Falcon. And naturally, the muscle car served to inspire Australian high-performance vehicles, to the point the only way to make the difference is often to look which side the driver is sitting in.
Britain has an historic love affair with both roadsters and sporty coupés. For the former, the explanation is found in the weather, and more specifically the temperature, which is just right to take the top off and cruise through spring and summer. For the latter, it goes back to WWII, with a surplus of airfields and engineers who, when left to their own devices after the war, started to build stuff that goes fast on said airfields. Add permissive regulations allowing almost anything with a licence plate to drive on the road, and you get a British automotive industry full of small, artisanal leisure car manufacturers, from TVR and Noble to Morgan and Caterham.
Germany is known for its Autobahn, reputed to be no-limit highways, though in reality only about half of the network is truly unlimited. Germany remains the only country in Europe with such roads, which may explain why German automakers still produce a plethora of comfy, high performance sedans designed to cruise at high speed for long stretches of time. You know, in case you find yourself in Stuttgart and your next meeting in Frankfurt starts in an hour.
Forget lightness, forget chassis upgrades, in the United States, if you want more performance, you just need more power. Far from the European definition of a sports car, which usually rhymes with luxury and balance, the muscle car is all about power and straight line speed, period. In more recent years, some US manufacturers developed their own mid-engine sports cars more in line with European models, but the tradition of putting the biggest engine possible in an entry level coupe is well and truly alive, with thousand-HP monsters based on the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang.
Italy is strongly associated with supercars, in no small part thanks to Enzo Ferrari and a great deal of spite. Lamborghini, ATS, Dallara, Bizzarrini, Scaglietti, Pininfarina, Gandini, De Tomaso, people and companies that either worked for Ferrari as the foremost Italian auto maker and racing team, or against him out of spite, and sometimes both. This all led to an industry that can produce the most beautiful, extreme, or uncompromising supercars.
@TBAR1980 Thanks for doing some leg work with these cars. I felt the prelude would have some decent potential and/or the corolla '74.
Will put some times down in a bit.
