One Night at the Green Hell: An Experimental RacingIOT

Puskas: 3:44.94: Puskas feels that the car is comfortable and that the speed balance is good. However, because he feels that the car is slightly loose, he did not feel comfortable pushing this hard until the last few corners. If he were to try again, perhaps with more understeer, he thinks that he could improve by several seconds.

Appledorn: 3:48.02:
Appledorn, while pushing hard, made some errors going around corners in the back half of the circuit, costing her a good deal of time. If she were to try again while being more cautious, she thinks she could get a much improved last time. The cornering of the car itself seems fine, at least for now. Furthermore, Appledorn feels that she could get more speed, however, and wants an increased speed balance setting.
Okay, let's put Puskás on a 3-2-2-4, and Appledorn on a 4-2-3-2.
 
Due to a missed connection in Chisinau, the Tiraspol Titans have arrived in Germany later than planned and drivers Grigoriu and Mikhailovich will be making two practice rounds today to make up for lost time.

Sorry for the late orders, 3-3-3-3 for both racers. I'll promise I'll be on the ball more in the future.
 
Didn't see this updating. Thank you CFC.

Do 3-3-3-3 for both racers I guess, if time allows.
 
Let's try out...

Squire:
Speed Balance: 4
Height: 3
Steering: 4
Aggressiveness: 2

Bruford:
Speed Balance: 4
Height: 2
Steering: 3

Let's make this car be more manuverable on turns, while compensating for that by making up in other areas.

Speed Balance: 4
Car Height: 5
Steering: 1
Aggressiveness: 4



Right this lady is scaring me. We'll keep the same enthusiasm for now, but we'll won't up her speed balance either so she won't kill herself in these qualifiers. We'll also make it a little less understeering because, face it, she's not as good of a driver as Okawa is.

Speed Balance: 3
Car Height: 5
Steering: 2
Aggressiveness: 3

Okawa: 3:44.37: The driving feels better and smoother - insofar as this missile of a car can feel better and smoother - but Okawa now feels that the steering has been tightened too much. She likes the raised height, though she also didn't feel the higher speed setting changed matters except for creating some odd vibrations in the car.

Soimescu: 3:45.78: Soimescu improved...probably? Her boundless enthusiasm for pushing the car seems to have not dropped off at all, but Okawa has now gotten better at cornering that Soimescu has.

Okay, let's put Puskás on a 3-2-2-4, and Appledorn on a 4-2-3-2.

Puskas: 3:42.23: Puskas says that the car feels better now, and the change to to the steering has helped a lot. He is comfortable with the car, and he feels that if he could take another lap to grow more accustomed to the setup, he could put up lap times close to if not under 3:40.

Appledorn: 3:45.26:
Much better, she says, although she still made a few mistakes going around some of the higher-speed corners. Like Puskas, she feels that she could get lap times closer to 3:40 if she could get more accustomed to the circuit.

THEN LETS UP THE SPEED EVEN MORE >:D

And make it more turnable

Well let's bump her speed and aggressiveness. God help us all.

I adivse everyone to not go high aggressiveness until your drivers are used to their setup and the circuit, otherwise you will more likely than not experience the joy of off-track excursions.

(Passionately) "Wow, Thiago! Great moves, keep it up, proud of you!"
Thiago (Looked happy)

(Assertive) "I need you to calm down"
Costa (Seemed to gain focus)

Steering: 2
Aggressiveness: 4

Thiago: 3.42.05: Another fairly good lap from Thiago, though didn't set a time he was happy with this lap. He wants to go out again.

Costa: 3:47.93:
Costa was able to actually complete the lap this time, though he still struggled getting around some of the lower-speed corners and the lap time he set is not especially competitive by the others set thus for. He is complaining that he is running into too much drag on the straights and that the car is too hard to steer.

Grigoriu 1: No time: Grigoriu lost control of the car, went off-circuit, and slammed into the barrier at the notorious Bergwerk corner. Before that, he was complaining, in an almost fearful tone, that the car was too low to the ground and hard to control at the level of pace that the team were demanding.

Grigoriu 2: 3:44.67:
After the team had repaired the car using some spare parts, Grigoriu went back out and set a fairly respectable lap time. Grigoriu was a lot more cautious this time around, and said that he felt comfortable going around the back sections - even at Bergwerk. He liked the high speed setting, and also liked the raised car; he felt it made cornering easier and the higher speed offset the increased drag quite well.
(If you have to repair the car again, Grigoriu will have to start the race from the back of the grid.)

Mikhailovich 1: 3:43.74: Mikhailovich said very positive things about his pace, especially on the straights. However, he wasn't quite happy with the cornering; he was able to manage, but says that he would have liked the car a little looser.

Mikhailovich 2: 3:45.25:
Mikhailovich didn't like this setting quite as much. And his main issue, the cornering, was not touched. Thanks to those factors, he also didn't have the confidence to push as hard as the team wanted.

Sorry for the late orders, 3-3-3-3 for both racers. I'll promise I'll be on the ball more in the future.

Kuzuki: 3:42.31: Kuzuki was able to complete the lap with no problems and in quite a respectable time, but he says he was not quite happy with even this pace and knows that the car is capable of even more. He suggests loosening the car and raising the speed setting; this way, he thinks he will be able to get the most on straights without sacrificing grip in the corners at this car height. Alternatively, he suggests loosening the car and lowering the car.

Tsuda: 3:44.16:
Tsuda did not say anything from the pilot's seat except for rather obnoxiously singing the Carnival Phantasm opening theme, off-key, on repeat, through the entire lap. Tsuda's race engineer pitches in to say that did notice that the car was not quite getting the speed that the Temple machine was capable off; they suggest lowering the car.

Didn't see this updating. Thank you CFC.

Do 3-3-3-3 for both racers I guess, if time allows.

Pierlot: 3:44.17: Pierlot very much complemented the sheer speed of his car's power unit. However, he said that he struggled around corners. He thinks that if he was able to turn the car easier and have better grip around corners, he could set some very tasty lap times that would see the Red Rocket top the leaderboard.

Tornatore: 3:47.24:
Like Pierlot, Tornatore was complaining about not having the grip to match the potential of the car's power unit. He struggled around corners and did not have the courage to go at the pace he would have liked to, causing him to lose several seconds. He also noted that in some low-speed corners, where he car was under heavy stress from speed changes, there were some mild vibrations.

Maler Mehndi looks down upon all of you. You don't think, you feel.

Everyone should listen to Maler Mehndi.

help i'm hungry

Let's try out...

Squire:
Speed Balance: 4
Height: 3
Steering: 4
Aggressiveness: 2

Bruford:
Speed Balance: 4
Height: 2
Steering: 3
Aggressiveness: 3


Squire: 3:42.70: Much better, says Squire. He likes the changes to the height; he feels that the high power setting is easily able to offset the drag. He also likes the changes to the steering. If he could set more lap times like this, he says, he could prove to himself that he can have qualifying pace.

Bruford: 3:41.66: Bruford likes it, and is getting noticeably very comfortable. He does want to try raising the power balance to the maximum, just to see what would happen.

THEN LETS UP THE SPEED EVEN MORE >:D

And make it more turnable

Speed Balance: 5
Car Height: 5
Steering: 2
Aggressiveness: 5

Well let's bump her speed and aggressiveness. God help us all.

Speed Balance: 4
Car Height: 5
Steering: 2
Aggressiveness: 4


Okawa: 3:42.49: Whatever the team did seems to have worked; Okawa is getting more comfortable and she put out a quite respectable lap time, and one that by her own admission she thought was quite beyond the capabilities of this car. She realises that the raised car height is doing well to offset the increased power. However, she does warn that pushing the car so hard is causing some bad vibrations.

Soimescu: 3.43.55: Well, whatever the team did seemed to do something.

OK, maybe we'll slightly power down the car again.

Hmm...two different possibilities here...we'll test them both out.

[angry mutterings]

Oh well, I didn't expect much else from Tsuda. Let's try it on a lower setting.

Lap Two: 3-2-3-3
 
Okay, let's keep Puskas on the same set-up, raise Appledorn's car a notch to help her on the turns.
