It's Hungary. You can't. Or at least not in this district.

Oh, I thought you were talking about Hell :-\  Not interested in Hungary, sorry.

Sending someone to hell has now lost all of it sense, knowing there's a real place called 'Hell' (and probably better to live in than most Argentinian places)
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

CTG

This is a Melange topic! >:(

Did you know "Melange" ("mixture" in French) name is the way to explain its origin from the mix of some cars and a tribute to the Speedracer's robot opponent?
"Melange still races!"

Have you ever noticed that Jaguar XJR, Porsche 962 and Melange XGT-88 have the same torque curve? Except a little difference: the Melange graph is 5 units longer.

So what's the real difference? As you can see, Alan made some really minor modifications.

These are only useless number, but what's the real meaning?

Theoretical top speed: Melange 218.1; IMSA cars 211.9
Acceleration: Melange & P962 almost identical (because of the slightly different gear ratios); Jaguar ~7% worse
Top speed in each gears: Melange - 88.7, 112.0, 150.2, 175.5, 218.1; IMSA cars - 88.0, 110.9, 148.2, 172.8, 211.9
Auto trm upshift: Melange - 84.3, 106.5, 142.8, 166.8; IMSA cars - 81.6, 102.8, 137.4, 160.2 ---> since the maximal performance (~517 HP) can be found at RPM 10456 for all these cars, the IMSAs switch up a little bit too early, while Melange is more or less perfect in automatical upshifts (on flat tracks, of course)
Auto trm downshift: Melange - 73.9, 99.1, 115.8, 143.9; IMSA cars - 70.6, 94.3, 109.9, 134.9


Duplode

Also, Melange has slightly better handling due to inheriting car dimensions and terrain grip from LM002.

Then send your partially finished files to Rotoi, I'm sure they will be useful as a starting point at least. And please send the VW bus shape to me too, as one of these days I still have to try my hands at the JTK-mobile  :)

When will my dream ever come true...  ::)
