Mini Challenge Discussions

Yeah I know Robie's bloody quick, in race 1 he was catching me up towards the end! I'm loving all the car designs as well. Jack, try to refrain from spinning on the warm up lap next time

Thanks for great race to all.

And sorry for hitting there you on last corner Jacko, your car had some gfx glitch, half of it was under the track, or you were floating above track.

Overall really enjoyable event with good atmosphere during the race (and qualification)

*Gitchi

Ha...it wasn't only the practice lap, I also spun on like lap 7 of the 1st race! No worries Gitchi it happens and doesn't bother me at all. Next time just let me know you're there and want the position and I'll concede it if I think I'm holding you up.
Great race all in all guys...excellent way to start the new season of events!

Keep er rubber side down!

aah, that's not so good Jacko, you need some practace with the simulation steering

What sort of lap times are you guys running around Tsukuba?

Yea...like I said before, the car and I are don't seem to agree on things!
Haven't run any laps there yet...will be on in a bit to do some.

I have been doing some practicing on Tsukuba Short and i have so far a best time of 0:47.636 ill be on today for practice for MINI's and ALMS

Strangely enough I was consistantly getting 48.6 seconds after 30 laps, beforehand I couldn't put many good ones together

Smokey's using a controller !!!??? WTF man !! Respect goes out to all you guys.

Right, in that case I need help with tuning then or something, anyone ??? Anyone ???????????

Back to the drawing board.

I will help where ever i can. And also i think it comes down to whoever practices most.

I can help you out Robie but my internet is playing up, its the internet hub outside thats broken and i need to wait till they fix it otherwise ill just keep disconnecting then reconnecting every 2 mins

I had a problem like that a few months ago Smokey, it only took Virgin 2 weeks to sort it. How good are they?? (that was sarcasm, lol) I was getting mid 48's last night on Tsukuba. Saying that, Tsukuba is not one of my strongest tracks. but I would be honoured if either of you could look at my tune and give me some pointers. Tuning is definitely not one of my strong points.

No probs m8, i sent you a Friend Request on XBOX invite me to a party or something when you get on

aah, Robie at least you have some skill in tuning. It's all gobbledy gook to me!

If anybody fancies some practice tonight I should be online, feel free to join me/invite me

i would but i cant get on today:(

Looking forward to the next race, fingers crossed I've sorted my internet problems. Though there's not much room for error around this track.

Glad you like the car design Jacko, same she didn't get to see the light of day in race 1. Regarding qualifying I can't make the sessions as don't get back from work til 7, so will have to ask for seperate session, though a little more practice is needed first.

friday at about 9 ok pal ??

Skill in tuning you say?? Ask smokey about my tuning mate lol. I think he had to redo the whole lot. haha

Haha, the only parts I understand are ride height and aero, and I can do a little gearing.

If you were running that tune last race then that could be why you weren't so quick!


I should be on for qualifying at 5, need to get it out of the way!

Diffs are pretty easy too:

Front diff:
Accel - I normally use between 25% and 50% - use as much as you can to get good drive out of turns without promoting understeer.
Decel - Always Zero!

Rear Diff:
Accel - Generally higher, I'd say from 40% to 70%, for better drive from the corners and better handling when the grip runs out. Not too high though, as it makes the car prone to powersliding.
Decel - I use a low decel, but no lower than 20%. Anything lower than 10% usually has the rear skittering on turn-in. Some drivers may prefer a high decel, but it does decrease turn-in response.


Brakes are also easy - just set the balance and power to minimise stopping distances while allowing turn-in (for trail-braking). Don't go too far though - high pressures lead to easier locking.

Sorry Dalton for not getting back to you sooner, I should be around on Friday at 9 for some qualifying,

Nice Coyote hope you can join this time

Man after all the good talk I hope I can get in on the next dirt/ forza events. Really sad i missed out. let me know when something arises, At least I made a team car design! haha

Hey Antonio didn't you sign up for the mini event? We've only had one race so far so you can still jump in on the next one! Talk to Dalton he'll sort you out.

Not sure if I'll make the qualifying at 7, I might need to do a later session if any mods are on later
