BG Twitchy's Seat was quite quick on the straights compared to my Megane.

If I could I would have gotten the car out of the way sooner, but it was going nowhere in 4th, with 100% engine damage and around 70% gearbox damage.
By the time I got it in 1st it was to late.
Sorry for ruining your race, was not my intention.
Shake hands?

Not a problem at all NoX; your driving and lines were spot on all night and you did nothing wrong, we were both part of a flippin mess that ruined both of our races. What really, really irked me, is that if I had not been taken out on the previous corner, I would have been in front of you and not therefore part of what happened and fighting again for a podium but because I was taken out it put me into the position I was in and the rest is history.
See you in the last race possibly - Cheers

NO...

I was outrun by everybody on the straights in our Lobby (D) even when I was in their draft. I would exit the last turn 3 inches from their bumper and everyone would pull away.

The Megane was SLOW on the straights but a weapon in the turns, If it wasn't for that I'd have had a very bad night...

Just out of curiosity, what were you hitting down the straight?

I had a couple different builds that would do low 36's when I wasn't hitting the wall Mad

. One was a light weight handling build that would hit 149mph before my brake marker and the power build I had was only couple mph different at 151.

I was getting 149/150 depending on the exit from the last corner in my Megane build which a few of the Forza Universe guys were running.

The BMW 1M was just about hitting 145 with downforce, and 146 with no downforce, I honestly didn't realise we were losing that much down the straights.

by Slider S15 Wed 30 Oct 2013 - 22:03

Same, I was at about 145MPH before my braking point... :/

even on a handling build i was at least hitting 148. your gearing may be wrong or not doing the final corner right

Try knocking all the rear aero off that Megane aswell. In fact, knock off all the rear aero at every track; you shouldn't need it in a front wheel drive car and reducing the grip the rear tyres have will probably kill some of the understeer FWDs inherently suffer from. Smile

by LastNewtStandin Wed 30 Oct 2013 - 23:15

My Megane could do 152 on the straight, Was a pure power tune and needed to be a little grippier tbh

by TLR Scrublord Wed 30 Oct 2013 - 23:18

Demo, do you have race weight reduction in the 1M? You need it if you're going to get anywhere with it

by Demo Marksman Thu 31 Oct 2013 - 0:07

Yep, why do you ask?

by TLR Scrublord Thu 31 Oct 2013 - 1:24

I tuned the 1M for somebody else and was hitting 151 with it. Thought that might have been where you was falling short

by RBHMScarhand Thu 31 Oct 2013 - 1:47

My megane was also hitting 151/2 when I got to the breaking point.

by Demo Marksman Thu 31 Oct 2013 - 1:50

How much power was your setup producing? Mine is currently producing 335hp, sorry if this is a stupid question by the way since I know they're aren't a huge amount of build options for this car.

by TLR Scrublord Thu 31 Oct 2013 - 1:58

I Believe it was that, XBR Immortal was in your lobby so you should have a replay with it on Smile

by Demo Marksman Thu 31 Oct 2013 - 2:01

Yeah I seem to remember Immortal being quick on the straights, nothing compared to the Lexus however. That thing is insane.

Sounds like you may have caught a virus from me last Friday. I couldn't do a freaken lap in GT w/o hitting something.
