Do you know the difference in speed (measured in seconds per lap) between the fastest and slowest cars? When you know this number (let's call it "S") then count the number of pixels between these two cars (the difference between the two red bars. Divide "S" (i.e. the secs per lap) by the number of pixels. This will give you the number of seconds per pixel (lets call this "secs/pix")

Then when you have the difference between the fastest car and each other car in pixels, multiply each difference by secs/pix and this will tell you how by many seconds you need to upgrade each car.

Calv will be able to confirm my maths!! :-D

Good luck for you math work!!

Is it maybe possible to find that "S" speed difference between two cars that you need as reference on the batracer forum? Because you need at least one "S", right? :-k

I thinking of trying to get the cars equal by testing different, but that would mean that I make some team better than and then I need to change the others even more, or that I watch all my BTCC game that I'm in at the moment and see how much each car loses on eachother per lap.

Now they're equal, after some modifying, because of a calculation failure of me, so sorry that news about the qualifying is gone.....I think. :-p

Have anyone realised that the Hondas were, before the equalizing, almost as bad as the Peugeot, but a hell lot of faster?

And the reliability is also really bad, this can be a season with lot of retirements from the Hondas. :doh:

They have lesser reliability but they have the best high speed now as you can see in the warmup times. :popcorn:

Two people trying everything to win from the back! The safety car will need extra fuel for the race!! With such reckless drivers I can see our cars somewhere in the green and all of us running on our feet to cross the finish for victory!! :-)

Okay, teammate. So if I see you coming flying into the first corner it's better for me to drive out in to the green and let you pass and then start racing again. :-D

Yeah, and now we have the Fuddruckers logo on our car again, but it's very small so it's hard to see. It's just by the Bull, on the right side of it. :thup:
