Great pictures. Surprised to see the number of brass and brass/hybrid chassis. Delete this if it is messing up the picture flow :lol:

Next up is Audi1's #19 Yellow machine:

One last bit of "technical" data to add to the pictures...

Below is a table showing the front / rear / total weights and the associated front/rear bias for each car - definitely an interesting spread! :)

Enjoy!

Wow. I was definitely impressed with the entire field. So fast and so fun.

[Audi1]

Great report, tech pics and weight stats, Todd. Thanks!

Looks like I'm the only car without some weight in the front.................jibes with what you wrote into you driving impressions earlier. I can fix that! .....................next year.........

Allen,
Its interesting that the weight balance of your car #19 and my #17 are almost the same but my car performed much different on most of all the tracks. I'm not sure if its gear ratio or what that's causing your car to be so quick yet so far on the edge. I do recall you car had much more free rolling resistance than any other car in the field. This may have caused us to not be braking early enough going into the turns. Put some weight in the nose and see if it still turns similar lap times or even faster because you can now brake later.

Yup, that sounds like the right recipe to me, Arrold. Your #17 and my #19 are very similar builds; except for the weight in the front. I'll give it a try.

Way too many offs the way that it's driving now...........except on Steve's track. Let's see what happens on the 8-lane banked oval..............

Allan -
I think a little front weight would make a huge difference in your car as it was one of the fastest both off the line and down the straights - but unless you made it a point to "roll" into the power easily, it would actually jerk the front end up hard enough to pull the guide right out of the slot!
Definitely a rocket ship in the making!
It will be interesting to see if the banked curves of the oval negate that effect this next week and send her screaming to the front. :)

[Audi1]

Let's see.........what do I have left to cross.......fingers, toes,......... :lol:

Dave you will find that same thing in the VNFR. A good mix of plastic and brass on the podium.
