Welcome to the second edition of the Road Super Series
WHEN: Wednesday, 31st May, 60min Q@19:00 CET \\ 22 Lap R@20:00 CET
WHERE: Rockingham Historic
WHAT: Mod racing road cars


This will be a test event (possibly series) to drive some of the best road cars mods that provide the driver with a sense of the limits of the car in a natural format.
This event will enable drivers to race on the same platform and will be provided a racing set for the track. This is a test event to see how the community react to this format.


Some of the cars we will be driving are private, therefore, we need to setup a sign-up list of the racers interested. In case of a private mod, the car will be available for the contestants 24 Hours before the event.

Do NOT contact the mod creator for copying/modifying/inspiration etc

.


For the second installment of the Road Super Series each driver will have at his disposal a machine made with rotors instead of pistons, very exquisite if you ask me. Made in Hiroshima since the 70's this production car has made eyes roll around the world, this particular model produced since 1998 with a 1.3L sequentially turbocharged and 276hp.
With road tires, drivers will have to challenge themselves to the limit of the grip while managing the rear end around the corners, this will not be an easy feat with almost 80Km of distance.

DATA
Lap around the track

Setup used in lap & layout of the track below

Setup update
Updated setup files, decreased tire pressure and added a bit of camber too.
Qualify and Race set now both represent these changes.
If you are having a high temp or high tire consumption, just increase the tire pressure by 0.1 or 0.2 bar, but this will give less grip, specially on the front.
Camber can also be decreased by 0.3° if you get too high temps

NOSLE takes the victory in the Road Super Series Special Event by Race Green, using the Dorito FD7!!

The qualifying was competitive with only .4 separating the top 3, the poleman Lorenzo , NOSLE in p2 and Tbug in p3.


This Green duo, was involved in a two-way scrap for the first third of the race, but then after a wheel in the grass by NOSLE, he lost the lead to T.Soini, adding drama in the battle for the lead until the last lap of the race! Lorenzo had a mishap on a chicane, which left his head closer to the ground than the wheels, this promoted Pombo to p3 after battling hard with his tires the whole race, consistency is key!

But in the end it was NOSLE who finished ahead of the pack, Soini in P2, Pombo in P3!

In the podium the newcomer Pombo, while Tbug DNF on lap 16 due to issues.



Unfortunately this event had only 8 participants due to being at the same time as another event from B2R, on the next event this will be taken in account. Boooooooo
