- I take some oval cars around a normal circuit to see how their lap times compare to them of more traditional circuit cars.

(Gta 5 challenge shall be up later today)
Dont ever let a die hard iRacing fan hear u call it a game. They will eat you alive.
then they're losers
Says "barfyman362"...
tonyfan00
its a problem since birth
I'm a diehard iRacing fan and I still call it a game...
Most want to hear the over-complex term that is "Racing simulator" or something like that.
A game is a game, regardless if it is a simulator or not.
Then again, the simulator category has been abused the last few years, especially on mobile devices. "Goat Simulator" can (just barely) get away with the sim title as it contains physics very close to that of real life, so it technically can squeeze by. But games/apps like "Dragon City", "My Singing Monsters", "Jurassic Park Builder", "Wolf Craft", etc. should be banned for abusing the category.
(I love how Google contains a "multiplayer simulation" category. MULTIPLAYER IS NOT SIMULATION GET IT STRAIGHT DAMN IT.)
In general, the circuit racers have some benefits like extra gears and grip which made them friendlier on the test track, while the oval racers, despite having power and straight line speed advantages, their extra weight, 4-speed gearbox, size and weight hinder them especially at the corners.
The Cadillac runs in the Pirelli World Challenge, in the GT Class to be exact. Up to I think 2012 they had their own regulations, but since 2013 on top of those they also allowed for FIA GT3 cars to enter, which is why the Cadillac (despite not being a GT3 car) is very similar to GT3 cars :P
I remember reading one of the drivers that Turn 10 Studios interviewed, Andy Pilgrim, who drove a CTS-V for the PWC.
The "National" car is basically a slightly de-powered previous-generation NASCAR car. They're used in the K&N Series, which is under the big three NASCAR touring series (Sprint Cup, Xfinity/Nationwide, and trucks). An oval car that you can actually have a lot of fun with on a road course is the Late Model, which is a short-track oval car that's running about 350-400 horsepower. The LM is still going to corner like a house compared to something like a CTS-V, but with the right setup it becomes incredibly fun and surprisingly forgiving to just chuck into corners and let it oversteer around a little bit. The LM at a fast track like Watkins Glen is awesome.
you can fix the f2000's over-steer problem by giving it an ALMIGHTY WING
The PWC Caddys are awesome
Will you do a gaming setup
He did it a very long time ago. It's classified as a "special."
Alex you do know the skippy (f2000) is a training car that is designed to test your cat control
I didn't know cat control was important whilst racing.
+SamCorson yeah typing on a iphone 3gs is quite hard
Alex the whole point of a skip barber "f2000" is to test young drivers car control as it's a learning car
How did I miss these "NAZCAR" videos? Dammit Google!
Alex, the F2000 gets a bit oversteery when you go off throttle. Try and trail brake and when you feel it lose a tiny bit of rear end grip, just get 5% throttle on to keep it in check.
Nice little test, i think you could've done with more practice but that would've consumed a lot of time... a lot :D
You do realize NASCAR races on road courses multiple times a year and they have different setups for the circuits, right?
so do all the other cars...
The restrict them to 450 hp I think. Somebody correct me if im wrong
Well "multiple times" meaning twice, it really sucks they don't have more, I'm a huge fan of NASCAR
Josh Kirby The European version of Nascar has a tonne of regular circuits such as Brands Hatch, Le Mans and Nurburgring GP. It's awesome to watch! Also, Richard you are correct (at least for Euro spec Nascar). They are 400bhp.
Richard Slone I thought they're limited to 500 hp as of today with the introduction of fuel injected engines.
"bit oversteery" Weight transfer. Learn it, and the F2000 feels like it has near infinite grip.
Braking and turning is a bad idea in it as well, once again, weight transfer.
***** its a good thing if you learn trailbraking. By doing so, you can rotate the car better into the corners, so you can in turn brake later
That track looks so non-compliant to FIA standards...
It's an old track, that I'm not sure any major series runs on anymore.
The CTS-V is basically GT3 class, it races in the PWC here in the states.
The Cadillac is a GT 2 car which typically have less horsepower but better cornering and GT 3 cars have around 500 horsepower on average
I know what you mean, some racecar drivers prefer to have slightly less advanced suspension so they can take the corners the same way every time, even if it's not as fast as the more advanced suspension
dat wing on the cts-v
NASCAR goes on road course
The way the ranks are for oval racing
Late Model
NASCAR K&N Pro Series (East/West)
ARCA
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
NASCAR Xfinity Series
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
You're mixing sanction bodies and independent tracks when you refer to Late Models. "Outlaw" and ARCA style late models would smoke a NASCAR late model. They are lighter, offset chassis, no HP restriction, just engine size, running a single 850 Holly carburetor, better aero, wider tires, for example. The CRA-Jeg's, and the ARCA-CRA are similar to each other than the Jeg's series run crate engines. While the ARCA- CRA lafe models run "open" engines. then you have the ARCA Midwest tour late models, which used to be the ASA Late model series. Other regional sanctioned types, and a myriad of independent tracks with their own late model rules.
Then NASCAR KNPS only thing in common with the ARCA Racing Series cars are the same composite bodies. ARCA bas their own engine, ignition, and fuel injection systems in, the ARCA-ILMOR 396. So ranking by generic names, after the three NASCAR Touring Series, is kind of futile.
the B class car is best on the road. The gen 6 is horrible and twitchy and the truck is drift city.
Drift and the city.... We need that one ;P
That's not necessarily true after the most recent updates lol.
NASCAR has three top series, 4 farm series, two regional touring series (east and west), two other are modified cars.
Andrew, I don't run iRacing, so I'm not sure of their naming convention, with possible rights usage of series names. the Chevy you ran for how you descibed it would the xfinity (cable TV and internet provider) Series. The "B" series, so as to speak. The Ford was Sprint (cell phones) Cup Series. (Although next year it will have a new title sponsor. Front runner right now seems to be Kroger Grocery store chain. They can get their suppliers involved to help pay some of the load, like menards, Target, and Aaron's did for example)
Gen6 referred to the 6th major developmental change (generation) of the car, in NASCAR's history. If they were using the same naming system the cars would be considered Gen7, maybe even Gen8, today. One of the generations tried the "almighty wing". Fans hated it.
Just saying. The Cadillac in the video is not running any more. It ran in the Pirelli World Challenge series in 2011-2014. In 2014, it ran with gt3 cars. This is why Cadillac has made a gt3 car.
NASCAR does road courses
The Cadillac runs in some gt races in America
Did you upload a gta V vid then delete it?
he uploaded a lucky dip gta v rally video, probably by accident :)
I just think you're having trouble running mid/rear engined cars. You're better off learning how to run them now because once you get the Ruf RT12 you won't have a chance.
Just be a little more gentle on turn in, (dobt throw it in like a front engined car) and they really shine putting the power down on exit.
I guess you could say, that Impala was not... Tame.
shoulda used same weather for all...
