What was the point of putting the Nordschleife on that list? Anyway I voted A1-Ring, Portimao and Brands Hatch.

HOW?!!?!?!!??! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

ficken

The big spoiler and the wicker would probably work a treat for the racing. Bit of a fudge though.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

as a part of the latest patch, the rat loader has been removed from garages. The rat loader is classed as a utility vehicle (in the same way that the tow truck is), and was not meant to be stored in player garages. Certain models of the tornado and karin rebel have also been removed, as they were single player only mission vehicles.

bs

Quote from BlueFlame :

When you inject less fuel for a consistent 6hours you restrict power output by shaving the cam profile otherwise you'd have the most inconsistent uneconomic motor second only to a Lada motor

So you're saying that reducing the fuel input would make the engine uneconomic? I'm not 100% sure what you mean here because the sentence just doesn't make sense.

I'll just go back in time and tell F1 teams that the method they use to save fuel is crap.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Yea and as I said, how you gonna get the fuel milage out of it? You would have to restrict power out put by delaying the valve timing and leveling out the cam profile.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Or, you know, inject less fuel.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Which yields less power. Seriously, what do they teach you? Or do you just not listen?

????????????????????????????????

Quote from BlueFlame :

You really think in an f1 engine you can reduce the fuel mixture to cater for a 6hour race without having to downgrade the cam profile? Wow. I'm actually astonished. Sure there is alot of ECU shizzle you can do these days but for such a change you NEED to change the cam profile.

Next years' engines have to do 5 races including practice and qualifying. The rules were deliberately made so that the distance a WEC engine does at Le Mans and an F1 engine have to do are roughly similar. They should last 6 hours easily.

Yea and as I said, how you gonna get the fuel milage out of it? You would have to restrict power out put by delaying the valve timing abit and leveling out the cam profile. Which would be much easier by just making a new engine.

Or, you know, inject less fuel.

Quote from BlueFlame :

This is the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

The whole point of a turbine is for it to rotate increasing the pressure pulling more and more gas through the engine. You have to spool it at some point it doesn't just start rotating at a reasonable speed from nothing.

And there's multiple videos and images showing a kers system connected via the rotation of the turbine shaft. Nobody is "spooling a turbo" from a KERS system. It's the kers system that's charged via the rotation of the turbine. God knows why you even suggested that.

Not sure you read past the first sentence of my post but anyway. I know how a turbo works, there's a reason that I said that 90% of the time they wouldn't use the KERS (MGU-H) to spool the turbo.

And anyway, why wouldn't they spool the turbo using the KERS (MGU-H)? It sure beats turbo lag. I mean the MGU-H has **** all else to do seeing as you can't use it to drive the wheels directly.

And anyway. In case you forgot, there are two KERS systems on the 2014 engines. You can, obviously using witchcraft, just disconnect the MGU-H and VOILA, you have 1 (one) eligible engine for WEC.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I'm sure WEC regs exclude using KERS system from the turbine otherwise Audi would have already been doing it.

You don't have to spool the turbo in an F1 engine. In fact I'm willing to be that 90% of the time F1 teams won't be spooling the turbo using the KERS anyway.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It clearly says that 2014 car must be a hybrid.

You've got to be joking. That would exclude an F1 engine how?

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well you ain't gonna have an F1 sister engine in WEC because the rules would exclude it. You either have a hybrid or a diesel or you FO. Basically...

You can run anything you want basically. An F1 engine would be very competitive. Expensive yes, but that is why engine rules are only fully open to manufacturer teams.

Quote from Rappa Z :

I find myself hoping that the cost cap is bad enough to force a breakaway series.

That's funny because the F1 strategy group is made up of representatives from Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Williams and Lotus. AKA the four richest teams in F1 and two of the current oldest (counting Lotus as the 'Enstone Team').

@the last bit



At least have the final race at a good track i.e. INTERLAGOS

hhhehehehehe

So...

Quote from BlueFlame :

Whats with the edit?

I attempted to talk nonsense. It was something about diff locking

Quote from Keling :

So it's really electronic, actively programmed? Not the fake mechanic/viscous mix we do in ISI sims?

As far as I can tell.

I wonder if it has brake steer as well.

12C is glorious. They seem to have got the electronic diff working well in game.

Well you got more Lotuses to come include the 98T and the Evora GTS, but its ok because when another BMW is added everyone will cream themselves cos its a BMW and it's not like there is enough of them confirmed as well

Gonna drive the shit out of the 12C

Also your browser will show you the address of a link if you hover over it. e.g hover over this and it should tell you something on the bottom left.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Can we please just work together to make sure Alfa doesn't win? Even if you really aren't a fan of Aston Martin, Audi, or Nissan (the next highest three), they have more potential for a multitude of licensed cars over Alfa.

Alfa made some awesome sportscars. All variants of the Tipo 33 are awesome and I would kill to have them in AC. Don't forget the all the F1 cars they made as well, especially the late 70's and early 80's ones.

Also if by voting in Alfa, we get a 4C, I'm all for it.

Tdu

Just because a car is used a lot doesn't mean that said car is automatically good. There's a reason that the current best car in the Porsche line up is the Cayman. Of course, the 911 is OK and works as a racecar because it is reliable and has good fuel consumption. If they just moved the engine a few feet farther forward, it could be so much better.
