Parcells will give these rides a go later today (stupid rain ruining golf), not sure if gunnys a friend of mine but if he is I'll send over and let you know.
Just throwing it out their...instead of an intermediate weight what about offering less pi upgrades to work with the light build?? if nothing else to confuse the matter, you're welcome.
I dont know what the hell Church is running or how you guys are building your car cause Parcells is averaging 1:40 and 1:37.2...with the original 35 pi to both cars
With both my builds I spent the majority pi on a big ass engine block...no good?
@Church - if you get an opportunity can you send your tunes please, if not no big deal.
@Poids - should I build a light tune with only 10 pi added vs 35?
Should Parcells sssume the goal here is to equalize two identical cars with significant weigth difference? My testing yesterday would "probably" have my light build with no extra pi because I drove the light build with no upgrades just after testing my final heavy build and I thought my times were pretty close. I was definitely high at the time so my memory could be flawed but thats how I remember it.

Really enjoyed the cars :) In regards to the cars I think 3 levels would be good as the only thing the heavy for killed on was speed. I could keep up in the turns but not on the straights. But me on a twisty track and I think the heavy would be a bit closer but it's all driver specific
Will this b a full race series Poids or just a one off event.
Interrested in making an appearance next time.......FR
on its way.......could i still have your race builds Poids,
Cheers me dears.
So was thinking on the way to work. What if we have a set build but change the weight for each one. That Way everyone will have the same power etc but just weigh different? Keep it open tune though.
That just might work.
You could go to this perhaps
Maximum Race pi for the light is B500. (Race Weight Reduction)
Maximum Race pi for the medium is B475. (Sport Weight Reduction)
Maximum Race pi for the heavy is B450. (Street Weight Reduction)
With the above builds at Road Atlanta, here are some initial lap times
B500 - 1:36.2
B475 - 1:37.7
B450 - 1:38.9
I can probably get another .2 out of each but not much more
Hmmmm!
I have tried the sports weight reduction. It seems to work, but allows a supercharger to be fitted. Not sure that's a good thing.
Currently favouring Parcells approach with Light build +10pi allowance. So light +10pi = 475
Makes the building and tuning a little less tricky too.
PS - saw your invite. Was juggling my kids at the time :)
Welcome.
Fire mean FR.
After 15 laps and only just getting in to the 39s I realised I needed to add more pi (power) doh
Was that the heavy or light. If that's the heavy, well done mate ;)
Did a clean 1.37.8 on lap 2 in the heavy. Going to push and tune for more now
That is about what I reckon is my absolute ultimate speed in the heavy. Sounds encouraging. The heavy will be vulnerable in mid to long straights.
Really interested to see what happens on sunday,.
Need another alien.Jonny?
Looks like this might work better than pure handicaps, but I suspect it will be on a per car basis.
Anyone notice the adjustable stock gearbox? Where did that come from?
Was the heavy lol. Just don't a 1.36.9 in the heavy. Time to try the light.
1:34.883 in the light
1:34.883 in the light
Holy fuck. Seriously, you need spaying ;)
So a second faster in the light than standard semi aliens:)
Heavy times still looks possible.
Come on gents. Let's roll out Sunday.

Thanks for all who came and tested.
Heavy tune is clearly too crippling even for the mighty church and Jonny.
A sports weight 470pi looks like the way to go.
MLS showed that these cars are very close on tighter tracks.
I'll have a look at the 470 build once Jonny sends it over
Personally thought the car works well in race situations and the different build/tune approaches were noticeable. Good fun.
What do people think?
@amber - catch you another time mate
I think my build/tune approach sucked :) Good fun though!
Ya good cars in traffic
Should be a good time
