I'm getting ready our first 2 hour endurance race tomorrow night and spent some time this afternoon testing the cars and trying to get parity of performance.
Some of the cars are fast and you hardly need the throttle and others you can hold flat out for much longer so fuel burn will be an issue and could lead to some cars having too many pit stops and adversely effect the race outcome.
I have kept the RCS64 fuel burn rate consistent across all cars and adjusted each cars fuel tank size to try and get as even a burn rate as possible (subject to each drivers trigger habits of course)
To test I ran a series of 10 laps with each car trying to drive as quick as possible, adjusted tank sizes and tested again until I got the following set of numbers which are pretty damn close for lap times, fuel burn & tyre wear
Car ID 3 (Ford) & 5 (Ferrari) are the slowest and will be used as back up cars if something goes wrong during the race as I think we may have 4 teams of 2 drivers competing.
Looking forward to this race as our previous longest endurance race was 1 hour and I am looking to build up to the "Frog Hollow 1000", this will be a 1,000 lap (4 hour) race and will be a scale 1,000 km seeing our track is exactly 32 metres long (well 32,008 mm to be exact
