So the first stint is faster and the tires last longer.

Yes, and if I do another enduro before this is fixed I will set my car up to wear the front tires first. That was after the first stint the fronts and rears should wear equal.

Thanks Dude, that was a really good race.  There were a couple stints where we would physically in close proximity and some good racing for sure.  Even when I thought "well, I'm behind, but I'm sort of mathematically ahead" (via pit strategy) I was really sweatin' that you would pull it off, then you just ended up making more mistakes toward the end than I did.

regarding Pit stops and tire wear, I think the verdict is still out:

I got a 1:47.1 on the first stint, and two 47's on the last stint, with two 48 flats.  That's when I was specifically trying to get a good lap time and Dude was far enough behind to allow me to test it.  The rest of the time, there were race conditions and strategy that caused slower times.

I think if everyone made zero mistakes, and pushed hard every lap, each stint would have been a lot alike.

I do think there was a LITTLE more rear wear after the first stop.  I only got 17 laps out because of fuel conservation, FYI.  You'll see several spots where I was using less throttle and shifting early.  I ran out of gas coming into the pits twice

I also saw similar tire wear / laps, etc.

I also tried to use lower revs for the 2nd and later stints, but I don't know if I was consistent enoughn to really make a difference. Going off the track 3 or more times because braking points changed with new tires didn't help.

Good fun as always, and I did OK for just winging it.

this week's specs posted in the OP

*Pay close attention to which kart is used on which track

We are trying to attract a few kart-loathers to this event from the PSN.  This will be a good opportunity to show people how good and reliable the karts can be, in the right hands.

I plan to show up quite early this week to help anyone who has problems.  Some of you who are better at karts than me could lend a hand if you desire.

This was an event I was so looking forward to running but I have to go out of town. Will be gone all day Saturday. Have fun with it y'all.

Thanks baked.  I'll just subtract a second or so from my best time and imagine you were there

[DudeTuna]

Gone here too. It's off to Ronnie Raygun's Library for a spy exhibit on Saturday.


Feel free to add a few seconds to your time and imagine I'm there too.

so long as you mention at least ONE conspiracy theory while you're at the spy exhibit

Sure, I hear the tour guide is Elvis.

Op updated for the RedBull Jr's this week!

This should be a lot of fun at this track in particular.  It would be great to see some great formula drivers join us this week!!

[EX_stream_tuna]

yo.  new specs posted.  take note of the lack of tire wear and forced (1) pit stop.  hopefully this will help us avoid the effect of the glitch...

[DudeTuna]

Unfortunately real life is preventing me from enjoying joining you all on Saturdays. I will have to make some arrangements to get myself to a GT Saturday event as I really do miss running with everyone there. See you soon.

[EX_stream_tuna]

 

we miss you too!

Take care of real life, cuz it's real
