As you all should know by now i have been very busy with revision and exams so this week i got painterr to choose the car so here it is, in painterrs own words from the pm he sent me :p


thanks! for letting me pic the car this week! Lets use the 787B with no up grades, just an oil change and Super soft tires.


the car can be won at the "race like the wind"!

We are racing on Grand Vally speedway so good luck everyone, and hope that none of you forget to post your times *cough* CoTTerick *cough* :)

Yes, it is the hardest!
Just watch the test videos... before u start the tests... and watch/hear wen ur spose to acelerate or let go or brake and try to remember them. Read the instructions as well. That should help a lot coz dats wot i did... :D

Man I am sorry! I thought everyone had at least finished 75% of the game by now! If you all werent so far away I would mail you one of my memory cards with the car in the garage. It would take at least 4 to five days just to get to you guys!

Well not really. I new the track was going to be Grand Valley and I know it is a long track and I wanted a race car and the easyest one to get is 787B because you dont have four it choses from after you race "race like the wind".
the only bad part racing that track it is 20 laps of just boring nothing!! lol

The bad part is I have to race that track to get the 787B myself because the ones I have in my garage I just descovered that they have been modified by me to have a 6 speed trany instead of a 5 speed that it comes with!!! :(

Or I have to reinstall my sharkport and load the program that i have to get he 787B. I just got myself a new pc and I didnt install those programs, when I built it.

i havent read the thread properlpy so i dont no if this has been sed

i think this is right

in arcade mode as you win the tracks back you get lemans cars in the "S" garage people that dont have the 787b could drive that even though you cant modify it you can race and then you wont come last. :)

you have to do every track in either medium or hard level though for that to work

methinks i should go n read the other comps now hehe :o

Hey Diablo VT great to have you with us! It is one flying lap. RAce it as much as you want then post your time here in the thread before Friday night. Try and keep it as clean of a run as you can. I guess, is that right mustang123??

DiabloVT

i dont have a digi-cam or anything, but i promise not to be an asshole when i post my times :)

painterr
06-06-2004, 10:04 PM
Another way to varify ones time is to post your T1; T2; T3 times that pop up as you race the track. All tracks are broken up into three parts and as you cross the marker (check point) it will put it on the screen.

i aint even run a time yet- i keep turning TCS off and doing a bit of drifting :D :D

painterr
06-07-2004, 04:00 AM
is the 787B we use the one we can unlock in arcade mode or from our personal garage?? cuz once u "run in" the 787B from ur garage u can generally squeeze up to 30 more hp out of it. but im just gonna go ahead and use the arcade mode one...
early signs, and im juuust about to dip into the 1:35s

I havent checked on the hp of the one in the arcade mode to see what hp it has but I ment to use the one you have to win at "Like The Wind" race or if you get 75% of the game finished you get it. As far as yes or no that is up to mustang123 he is the one incharge.

Also Diablo we are not to memtion any of our time until we are ready to post it in the thread. Sorry!

Hey thanks painterr for informing DiabloVt on the Comp, i have been at school all day had Gegraphy exam this moning and science this afternoon. everything that painterr has said is true, so you can go off what he has said.

@ PAINTERR

i would be very greatfull if you would check the Hp of both the cars painterr, see i have a maths exam tomorrow afternoon so i will be revising for that :( i will be able to keep a better look over the comp next week as i havent got as many exams, then the week after that i am going to goodwood, i will try and get on a pc, but if you could would you like to run the comp that week, if yes i will send you everything that you need in an e-mail.


good luck everyone i dont think that i will be entering again this week due to dam exams :( ill see what i can do though :)

painterr
06-07-2004, 05:54 PM
I checked the acrade 787B hp and as near as I can tell it is running the same hp. I ran it several times to see how it compared with the simulation one and it topped out on the straight away at 191 to 193mph and my garage one tops out at 194 to 197mph that is because of my tunning the trany.

I dont see why it cant be used, the only draw back is you cant do any adjusting to the supension or any of the others. That will make it slower in the corners. I did several laps with it and I was running at least 4 seconds slower then the time I have in my simulation car! I contribute that to being able to adjust the settings on the car. But I was running with the ASM off and the TCS on. So you might do a little better with the TCS off also.

DiabloVT
06-07-2004, 11:15 PM
yeah i just got off and the arcade car is atleast 2.5 seconds faster than my "standard" (ie, default settings + TSC). and a run in 787B has 729hp, compared to the arcade 787B which as 690hp... yet the arcade is faster :confused:

but i just read back in the thread and realsed that the similation car can have super-soft tyres! so ill go and give it another stab this afternoon, and maybe try and bridge that gap of ~2.5 seconds abit.

and i also have exams ;) :D yay for uni

If any of this weeks enterants dont have a digi camera to prove your time, would you please post the time of your TC1, TC2 and TC3. these pop up brifely in either blue or red numbers depending on how you do. would you please note these down and post them along with your overall time. thanks alot

challenger
06-08-2004, 08:26 AM
cud some one pleae tell me the standard hp for the 787B coz i have one but i cant remember if ive done anythin to it anyway at the moment its 690hp on the one ive got but if this is too much and if it turns out i hav modified it i will get a ned one :)

EDIT: also it gets to 310 KM/H not mph down the straight and that is at 9000 revs

if sum1 cud tell me if it is modified i wud apreciate it

painterr
06-08-2004, 02:55 PM
challenger I dont know what km/h is I am a dumb yank!! :D ;) but the hp is about right if it has over 400 miles on it. If it is new and you had the oil changed it should have around 724hp but once it is broken in it will probably have 690hp.

for the benifit of people who have modded their 787B, this is what a "standard" 787B should be like, so check ur mods!

---------------------------

Spring Rate: F=16.4kgl/mm
R=14.8kgl/mm

and i believe we can use T8 supersoft tyres aswell. but im not sure about the rules concerning if u want ASM and TSC or not...

painterr
06-09-2004, 04:52 AM
My uderstanding we can adjust the settings to what we want! even the asm and the tcs we just cant add hp that stays stock. Except and oil change we can do. T8 tires super soft

I spent probably 4 hours on this comp, compared to the other two which I spent maybe a total of 3 on. I liked the car more, and I had a decent setup to start with (doesn't hurt; though I took off 5+ seconds from 'my' setup to what I ended up with). My break-in run was a 1:38.xxx. Then I started changing things to get rid of wheel spin, and that pushing coming out of the corner (forgot to turn off traction controls). A few hours later I ended up in the 1:34 brackets, and wasn't sure if I could do any better. So I just started playing with spring rates and camber/toe. Then I ran this...

T1- :16.310
T2- :46.144
T3- 1:02.365
T4- 1:32.994

I was trapping about 194-197mph at the end of the front stretch before braking into the corner. Being lazy and not going to convert it for you metric people. :D Also being lazy and not taking pics of the time, but if you guys want me to, I will.

K, I'll shut up now. ;)

thats fine quiggs so that is your overal time i take it?

to all you guys out there from now on i think that if you dont post a pic of your time then you have to state your TC times or it wont count, i think that this idea that painterr came up with is a good one, well done painterr ;)

Great time Quiggs!! If you would I would like to see your settings, if you dont mine. I will post mine later tonight. I can almost see you in my rear veiw mirror lol lol ;) ;) It would be interesting to compare the two setups.

DiabloVT
06-10-2004, 03:04 AM
wow! that is a fast fast time, i spent the better part of 2 hours trying to match it when i found out u could tinker with all the settings. the largest gains i found were in the gear ratios and the damper settings. that guy has probably spent abit more time honning them, but this is the best i can do, id have to spend anoter 3 hours tuning to match it. so heres my time for the comp!

T1. 0'16:306
T2. 0'46:206
T3. 1'02:458
T=1'33:394

i got close to making my overall time better on a few laps, but there aint no way i was gonna better that T1 time haha

final-131.362

im very pleased with my time.i wos going round at around 1.32.350 on most of my laps once i got into it. then i aced one corner and pulled ahed out of that corner afew tenths ahed of my ghost.

btw i used painterrs settings not my own :( i think if QUIGGS and cp10ps (proberly spelt wrong) used his settings they could hav got into the 1.31's like i did. :)
when i wos reading these before i started i wos thinking that i would end up in 4th place :eek: :( the people on UCP are becoming better by the minute :)
