Arghh! It'll make all the tables unsymmetrical. :crazy:

EDIT:

Also Dax we have 16 full time entries (1 guy has shown no interest since), if you include carracer that's 17. :indiff:

If there's already 16 drivers for the season, it's alright. It doesn't look that way from the OP. If I can attend, just let me know. Thanks guys.

Vinny and I have 2 friends that are interested as well (although only one will probably sign up). Just in case you don't mind having more than 16 drivers.
 
I'm a reserve so does that not mean that's 16 full timers if Jerome joins :).

I'm not certain until Dax comes in here and tells us. But I have it that we have 16 full time entries. However 1 guy has shown no interest since signing up in January, so he'll probably be a no show.

We then have carracerptp who is missing the first 2 (?) rounds. And then 2 reserves in Akmuq and Paul.

However, 4 are completely unknown guys who, no offense to them, generally don't complete seasons. :indiff:

It's all good. ;)

We won't have full grids constantly and we have a couple of reserves.

You guys are fine to stay in.
 
I hate everyone who is faster than me, because that means they'll most likely beat me in a race. :grumpy:

Just for clarification, you mean 1:02s right? Not 1:03.2?

I can get about .3 to .4 more out of my 3.5 (based on the sectors I hit), with a cleaner exit on turn 2 and 3 I could hit a 2.9.

And you set yourself up for that Carbon.

Well that's good, I'm not too off pace yet. :lol:

I've got .1-2 left in that .7, +.3ish for the 6 bhp extra and I shoulf be at 1:03.3-4. :D
 
You guys are stressing out too much. It's still over a week before the first race... I'll try to practise a bit sometime before that, promise marunda. ;)
 
Switched to ABS on and ran a 1:03.580. Can't seem to get any more out of it, and it's fully broken in. Those of you posting times remembered to turn tire wear 'ON' when testing offline, right?

I was testing online with tyre/fuel use on "very fast". :)

Online/offline doesn't matter anymore as long as tire wear is on. So either works.

I was just using online to practise with the very fast tyre wear, as I don't think you can set the speed of wear offline?

I still say offline and online aren't the same.

I did my laps online, with tire wear set to "very fast" and all the other setting according to the OP.
 
So far I've been able to stretch out a 1:03.645 with 207 hp. I think I could get it down to the .5's or .4's though. I'm waiting to break it in until I know I got as much out of 207 hp as possible so I have a comparison. I've got all the settings as the op states too.
 
Hi guys, this looks like a great group of racers. I would like to sign up and race with you. Are there still spots available?

Well, technically we are "full" but not everyone will make every race. I can't say much until Dax shows up.

I would think you could still sign up but it may turn into a "first come first serve" sorta thing on race day.

Times & feel are the same for me, haven't really noticed a difference since they fixed it.

Still not the same for more me, closer still.

@207 HP that is a great time.

Nice time. 👍 I'm in a similar boat, best of :03.7 with .2-3 to find at 207bhp.

But god I hate this track. There's just something about it that I really don't like, and I can't put my finger on it. :irked:

Well we have 16 (Rosckolove still shows no interest though) full time sign ups + carracer (misses 2), 2 reserves and another 2 who've shown interest before. :indiff:

Whew, after a bit more struggle I was able to put up a 03.509. Still lost probably half a tenth in the final sector though. :grumpy: And I definitely agree with you on the track... just never been a big fan
 
Wow I must be missing something.. I've been practising a bit now and when I got my line almost perfect I got a 1:04.386 (maybe 1 tenth to improve in total).. and my car has 213.. I wonder if I'm taking some wrong lines but I really don't know what i could do to go faster.

Btw, i'm not allowed to change anything right? not even aero?
