The thing is i'm more attracted to racing in a series if there is individual car performances rather than have all cars set to the same power, weight etc, it just adds that extra element of Real Life to it smile I know we have car performance differences in SCES, and although it isn't a huge gap, well sometiems a second or 2, it still provided an awesome feeling to know that at some tracks you really had to battle to be where you wanted to be cos of the car.


I agree.

Yeah the Green hell version we've run here in the past, without the new track, I guess that's the tourist version because you start in the car park...

I just took the M1 out and beat my previous best in it by 25 seconds with the changes I made for Le Mans, I then took the 935 out and it's actually quite quick when you find that line so you don't blow up... lol

935 7.02.1
Capri 7.04.8
320 7.15.6
M1 7.19.5

The Capri and the 320 are old times from me... There's possibly more speed out there now that I've spent the past month and a bit focussed on these cars...

I haven't set a time in the Lancia or Celica yet...

So I was a bit wrong, the 935 is still the fastest car in the mod, but the Capri ain't far off around here... I'll have a go with the Lancia and Celica later this week and report back...

I agree.

Yep I agree I quite like the mod as is, Would just love to have more drivers on track...

If we're going to get into discussion about testing cars round the ring it might be an idea to open up a new thread for that.

I only ran the first race and didn't really have the time for the rest, so I didn't really get to see the differences between cars play out.

...and to be completely honest, the driver aids were the only reason I completed the first event. I don't have the talent to keep these things on track and would likely DNF every single race within the first two laps. biggrin

THAT SAID...a couple of ideas I'm going to throw out for general consumption:


1. Rather than focus on an individual driver's championship, make it a manufacturer effort. Each car has a roughly equal number of drivers doing their best for the team.
2. Don't make all the cars exactly equal, but find some way to help the "lesser" cars. Grant them a little more engine power, maybe? Getting that right would obviously require testing time from some of the fast, consistent aliens drivers. (with great power comes great responsibility)


If all the cars were on slightly-more-equal footing, and you have a good selection of tracks, I think you'd have a good series.

Get onto it, Mr. Mod! smile

I'm sub 7 minutes with the Porsche so far.. still time to gain with a clean lap. So it may be fast but boy oh boy is it notoriously difficult to drive, and you need to know every bump of the circuit or your engine will be toast in a few laps.

If you guys are going to do testing, best to base it on v2.0b (also known as 2.02).

I'll set-up a SimHQ mirror for it, but in the meantime...
