LOL! Yes, it has DRS already! It was noticeable but not massively significant at last weeks track. It’s stretching credulity somewhat to make it truly effective. I did develop a v2.2 car yesterday - 25% more battery capacity, 10 regen levels (over the same range) rancher than the 6 before, ABS (four levels) with bias to try and balance regen braking. That was about it. Maybe just run the existing car tonight and I’ll send you the 2.2 to test… Annoyingly, the brakebywire module (that is supposed to balance physical rear brakes with any regen braking) is *still* broken some three or more years since S397 released it. LMU has killed rf2 in+house development… The module *does* balance the brakes/regen somewhat but has a bug that means deployment is automatic and uncontrollable. Fine for a pure electric racer but useless for a hybrid…

DRS? The car does not have Drag Reduction System. (unless you put that in when I was not looking?). DRS zones on tracks are of use only with cars that you can use the rear flap button with, like F1.

We are racing the M1s at Portrero de Los Funes tomorrow…. ….but there’s a chance we might use a slightly updated version of the car I’m working on. In the absence of DRS zones at some tracks - and with positive feedback regarding push2pass, I’m trying to make regen more effective. At the moment, high regen levels require active management of the brake balance control while driving. I’m working on switchable ABS that helps manage the rears somewhat. Nothing is free though - you might not have to manage brake-bal so much - but ABS will compromise overall brake efficiency even if it allows better stability undervregen… Everything can be turned off though - so KISS if you wish!

I think we’ll race them again next week.

Good battles. I managed to do a overtake with the Push to Pass.

The SR4L BMW M1 is up and running on our second server a week ahead of when we’ll actually race it. Links are in Cruicky’s post below. It’s worth reading the PDF included in his link to the car on Google drive - it has KERS, regen, P2P and DRS to contend with! In addition, as brake-by-wire is *not* implemented, you may wish to have brake-balance controls to hand as the regen can/will add to the effective rear bias at higher regen levels. You can ignore KERS/regen and set the regen map to level 1 (zero regen) if you want to keep things simple.

Right. The plan is this: We will race our SR4L BMW M1 LE car on Tuesday 26th (two Tuesdays from now). The complexity of the car (KERS, regen, push-to-pass) means that it’s only fair to get a server up early rather than my usual last-minute approach. I’ll load the ‘B’ server tomorrow. In the meantime, this Tuesday (19th) we will have a bit of fun in the Imps/NSUs at the kerazy AutumNRing track: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...2790959701

Could do! Although it might be worth holding off for a week so that I can get the server up early and people (including myself!) can get their heads around the regen and push-to-pass!

Myles, maybe the SR4L BMW M1 car at Montreal F1 track for next race? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...MG5LytQ9t4 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...2996308683

North course?

I have Virginia International Raceway v1.03 which I think is the Reiza one. Which layout were you thinking?

‘K. I’ll try to load both versions later today. We’ll use the Reiza version unless anyone doesn’t have it that wants to race.

Maybe the RSR 73 again? We not done Virginia International Raceway in a long while. There is the paid version from the Reiza's DLC track pack or the free version here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...1382427943

What next? Gertjen didn’t dig the Ladas - but maybe if I loaded a track a little earlier and chose one without a crazy timezone that forced practice into the nighttime….?

Tomorrow.... Lada VFTS (See Cruicky Link below) at Troyton. https://www.mediafire.com/file/a6fs53cem...rfcmp/file

Track and car will be up later today.

‘K

So, what do we fancy for Tuesday? I think Paul from SCB has sent through a number of off-the-beaten-track circuit suggestions over the last month or two but I probably won’t have much chance to try them out this weekend…

Madeira. Quite nice - on the possible rather than definite return list, IYSWIM.
