ISCC Phase 2 Testing

but it seems tuning the AMR-One turns it into a powerhouse while the restrictor is taken off. just what i'm seeing, though

Yeah it's an absolute monster of a car. All my testing for other series and VM ALMS put's it in a league of it's own usually.
Only series where I've seen it balanced properly is FLMS and it runs 15% handicapped there. Admittedly with cars like the R18 and 908 but the handicap seems to change the dynamics of the how the cars behave.

Just did 27.077 in the 908 round Hock. Time for the AMR.

26.106 in the AMR. A change is in order, but -15% is too much.

will ask once more why cant see forum

forum is up now for those that require it

and moving on to the aston amr one im not a specialist lmp driver but that car certainly stands out a mile and with correct tune on it would destroy the rest by a clear second or more i think a 5% power cap would draw it back level

yea thinking to drop amr will get more times in cheers all

also forums should be visible

before outright dropping the AMR-One Dunc, we should try it with the engine restrictor put back on first. if it's still too quick with a tune, then perhaps it should.

yep agree can we try with 15% power at 998

For Hockenheimring:

AMR : 1:26.0
Audi R18: 1:26.4
Peugeot 908: 1:27.0

The AMR definitely feels the quickest, but the Audi isn't too far behind. Try -5% on the AMR.

Honda-Lola: 1:26.226
Acura ARX-01b: 1:26.274
Mazda-Lola: 1:26.541

gonna try -5% on the amr today and see what it does

thanks all,

I have asked Chris for a similar form to TCC testing

also any 1 from CQR and others can you see section?

Chaddy can you ask if they can help?

have ran the aston amr one with -5% power and got a few 1.28.2s so think so think that brings it back to a level playing field

Ill ask

Section is visible.

Just running all the LMP1 cars at Catalunya

Right. So I threw basic tunes on the cars. I think Catalunya is a great track to gain a baseline for the car, and one is use for testing a lot.

I ran with limited damage and TCS off

I ran the AMR-One with the 5% suggested power restriction, It was fastest in a straight line but was slowest over the lap. The Honda Lola is a very consistent car and easy to get a relatively quick lap time out of it, but it wont go too much further than that. Really struggled with the Peugeot too, just seemed to lack rear end grip. The Acura loses out in a straight line but makes up for it in the long sweeping corners, and the Audi is very fun to drive!

Catalunya Times:

Audi: 1:33.581
Acura: 1:33.785
Mazda Lola: 1:33.907
Aston Lola: 1:33.933
Honda Lola: 1:34.076
Peugeot: 1:34.346
AMR-One (5% Power Handicap) : 1:34.406

but take that power restriction off it is way quicker by nearly a second

Cheers Shifty cheers all can we see times around Catalunya GP for GT

Most definitely! It was still quickest in a straight line by a few MPH!

Has anyone taken down speeds before braking for the 'Forza Chicane' on the Mulsanne?

Not yet,

Can we get that down as well think Pgt would be very very quick

This is why we messed up a bit last year by hastily adding a 5% handicap and didn't even consider how good the Acura 02a was (which we haven't included this time around)

Peugeot goes 222 mph max with the proper exit off of Tertre Rouge, average 221. I think the AMR was 221 max what -5% from what I remember of last year's Le Mans. The AMR though is somewhat like the Corvette, it has mediocre acceleration.

I understand how seeing a 5% power handicap might work for the AMR-One for the ISCC season, but bear in mind, we have to deal with 3 car classes, and only able to create 4 car 'buckets' in each Lobby. And, as it stands, we would have a bucket set up for LMP1, LMPC & 2 for GTE (one for the DBR9's handicaps). If we go ahead with the AMR-One and the 5% power with it's current build, we may have to try and merge the LMP1 & LMPC into a combined 'bucket' and just ask those in the separate class to change the 'Team' color. I know in the previous posts we went over the fact the AMR-One was competative with the rest of the P1's w/o tuning, but perhaps with tuning, should we try the vehicle out with the Default power (no power restrictor removed)??

I'll try it when I get home, but I don't remember how much power it has stock.
