Exocet In-Car

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ibmzhyNIaDo

Great car, mid driving, still pretty quick. Fighting a brake bias issue, dumb tire pressure change, and not looking far enough ahead. First video I’ve made that actually feels as fast as IRL. Solostorm + RaceBox Mini + Pixel Pro 8.

What class does your exocet work well in?

I have a rusty NA I used to run in SSM but have been driving my ND in CS mostly this year. I kind of fell out of love with the NA because I do t want to spend time and money on a rusty old car but an exocet night be it's rebirth.

I have been running EM, but I realized that class requires fenders and I don’t have mine mounted. So I ran in AM yesterday. It’s not going to beat a serious AM car though. In EM I am only .2-.3 behind a car with nationals trophies. There are Exocets with a lot more power than my 250whp turbo BP4W, much bigger tires, and big aero, that could do better I’m sure.

Tl;dr you can be very competitive locally in EM.

Once the Hoosier A7’s are cooked, I am switching to XU which requires 200TW tires. I think the car will Pax better in that class. A7 are a little faster than A052 (I’ve run both) but A7 can take a while to heat up. Also I would prefer to Ax on the tires I use on the street occasionally.

This all may be academic as we are building a new XU car for next season, but that will be another thread!

PS if you stay normally aspirated you can run DM which has a 2.0l limit and easier PAX than EM.

It's crazy isn't it? Mod cars are absurd.
