Round 16 - Phoenix (Dec 18th)

#94 for me, Richard and I will be contesting for the shittiest car award

You could have picked the Vollstedt.

was considering driving, but i think a whole race distance might be a bit much mostly 1 handed

Well you only have to turn to one side so ...

The Finley is even worse, it's actually the worts car in the mod or at least in the race.

Don't.
You've already lost that contest to the #23

The Chevy may finally have some worthy competition for last place on the grid.

The only 200 MPH burger in the country will be there.

Actually I'm one second and half slower than you with the Finley (27.528 as PB). The car is just undriveable most of time switching from over steering in exit to under steering in entry as soon as I touched something on the set. Had I still hairs I'll be pulling them one by one every time I'm driving
Try once to use the qualy boost...I wasn't able in five attemps to do any time at all. The car, with maximum boost, is just way too touchy to exit the last corner proprely.
Think it's something in my wheel. I've lost my old parameters when I've to put a new partition of rFactor at work for Ontario. Now it seems to be much more touchy than before.

So I'm still, and by far, the best contendant to the the shitty driver award both for the event and for the season

Just got a 4th dimension adventure here

Offline I was struggling with my Chevy very twisty on every corner. PB: 27.4
Got a try with same car same set online....26.3 . One second faster And not just that but a hugely more stable car.
Don't quite understand where I've got such difference

Shit I'm out for the shittiest car award (well till the race at least )

You are probably using the wrong chassis upgrade while racing offline.

Can't be that, the correct upgrade is enforced by the track.

I was using the short track chassis offline.

But it's not the first time I noticed difference between my times on the server and the one offline (and not just in USAC).
I need now to find time to tune a bit my set as I've also noticed the tyres are wearing a bit faster online.

I plan to be here!!!

Risky to argue with Alberto but my money is on the Mongoose (my early ride) as being the worst car available.

Having actually worked on the Mongoose at Milwaukee in 1974 & 75 I agree with Lee.

No hate for the Atlanta then? 

It's certainly a tough one  

During the first part of the season, the Mongoose is the slowest car but the chassis is not bad - it just lacks downforce and power. On the second half, after the rule changes, the Foyt is more competitive and there is less downforce in all cars, so the shortcomings in the shitties Offy powered cars become more evident.

Between Atlanta and Finley, the Atlanta has a better chassis. It was a top car some years before, whereas the Finley was hastily built (Better: Frankestanized) in the backyard garden of someone (Literally. Not even shade tree mechanics, but a garden )

Oh, come now. You actually mean getting a setup from Bob Wilson.

Nobody tests in this series!
