2008 RD Touring Car Championship (RACE 07)

[Baker]

The new Honda

I just finished running the Honda, I only ran 1 timed lap with a default setup at Istanbul. I was 1.5 seconds faster than my Chevy that I have been working and tweaking the setup. Very disturbing.

 

[Neil Tennant]

same, after first five laps with the honda and bram's setup i hit a 1.41.9 and i struggle to break 1.43 with my seat.

 

[TobiasR]

Well, the Honda comes up with good Grip.
The Chevy tends to slide very much, in comparasion to the Honda.
Don´t know about the Seat though.

For me, the Chevy still is faster, but I won´t use one of those cars anyway.

 

[Warren Dawes]

We have asked Atti for his judgement, given that he is very familiar with both the Honda 06 and Chevy 07 (his two league cars), and as everyone should appreciate, he is very consistent at achieving the limits of these cars and can reproduce his laptimes consistently. He has compared the Honda 07 and Chevy 07 at Istanbul and reported that the Chevy is still quicker (in his hands) by about 1 sec.

 

[Wietse Visser]

heheh tnx m8

i dont wnat to give a negative fibe, respect to organizors its all hard work i know. organizing this will take a partime job aswell besides your normal job.. they have to make a desicion and not all ppl can agree with those always

but we have to point out those issues>>> all learning points

 

[Wietse Visser]

Atti dominated in his honda 06

could think he would switch after this car adding. But i guess he didnt

 

[Yves Maex]

Don't make me shy

[Mehmet Arikan]

[Gareth Hughes]

what happens with the skin submissions? because they are closed already arent they?

 

[Jamie Wilson]

[Press-release] Ninecraft seen testing at Barcelona

Not the prettiest skin in the world I know, but not bad for two days work - I am informed though that we're the only gold team on the grid, so that makes up for it.

 

[Christophe Berton]

nice jamie, gl in the championship, who is your team8? Carson?

 

[Christophe Berton]

nice skin, like text on the rear

 

[Gareth Hughes]

These aliens may be quick in TA and hotlaps, but i wonder how they will handle starting at the back and working through the traffic in race 2. should be interesting
with my pb time down to 2.05, thanks to the honda im praying to make group 4

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

For what its worth; I have tested the Honda and the Seat at Valencia.

I came after 10 laps to 1.42.0 in the Honda.
In lap 2 I drove 1.41.8 in the Seat.

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

Yes its closed last Friday at midnight GMT.

If you still want to drive the Honda you can maybe convince a League Manager to let you change from a running Team to Single Driver.

The Single Driver skin for the Honda is ready and is submitted to Yves

 

[Gareth Hughes]

the default setup for honda seems very good, i havent needed to tweak it yet (apart from brakes to 54/46) and im obliterating my lacetti times. on valencia im 2 secs faster, the hondas grip certainly gives you more confidence i think.

 

[Gareth Hughes]

Thanks for the reply, i've just done this today . im so much faster in a Honda, it would be criminal if i didnt use it. SD Drivers team here i come :ambulance:

 

[Dominic Finders]

this time i doubt i'l be in group 1 not enough practice in race07.. and no gta... lol
