2020 Touring Car Proxy shakedown run


Sports Racer

Recommended Posts

Here's the times for each car on my little test figure 8. This was done last night on a cold track and the cars weren't cleaned so don't read too much into the times.

fetch?id=1664864&d=1597880604

I'll take photos of the underside of each car so you can see what chassis they are running.

On the weekend I'll redo the shakedown run with each car's tyres cleaned (roll them on sticky tape) and post videos and comments. The results of that run will determine the starting order for Round 1.

Cheers

Paul

 

May the downforce be with you.

Well looks like my Alfa will be in the hunt.B) I sure hope so. Tony, Tony, Tony. 3 cars in front of me and about 5 cars right on the bumper. If this was without cleaning the tires no telling how things will shake out. Thanks for the preliminary shake down.

UM Tony on NSR Rubber. I hope what I read about Urethane/Yellow Dogs being the tire of choice is true. "Only Time Will Tell" :D

Your Alfa was weird to drive. It felt like it had no weight to it and "floated" through the corners. With most cars you can feel how heavy they are when you drive them so it's easy to get them to drift. Yours felt like it would easily tip over before it would hang the tail out but it kept on hanging on. 

These times don't mean much. There are a few Canberra cars in the proxy and testing on the real tracks show they are faster than mine.

A much better test is how long it takes to do 15 laps on my track. 

 

May the downforce be with you.

The shakedown run has been done. This is the qualifying order for the first race next week - Wednesday 2nd September at Alvaro's track.

Brumos was the fastest, doing 15 laps in 34.29 seconds on my little test track.

I took videos of each car + comments when doing the qualifying. I just need to work out how to import 18 x 70 Mb files to yahoo. :wacko:

Videos and comments of each car during the shakedown run.

Youtube is giving me grief trying to view all of these. Some work, some don't but they are all public.

I'm not able to view the results, it starts to come up but then goes away and I see this: fetch?filedataid=50018&type=full

I can watch the videos and looked like an ok run but they all look pretty good.

Curef, your car was easy to drive, slight noise when turning left, like it was skipping across the track. 

Will be totally different on another surface so don't be too disenchanted with your slow lap time on my track.

Rico, your car was 4th fastest.
