Well race 1 shouldn't be a problem of your quick cause you're near the front. Race 2 however, if you aim for the double you have to overtake 15 cars in 25 laps. Plus there is only one real overtaking corner and the rest is just get a good exit and hopefully draft past. But other people battling could be a gift or a huge problem. If they are overtaking each other every corner and the track is blocked almost, then you're 🤬 if they are waiting and then making moves at the hairpin for example, you can slide past.

If you overtake going into the hairpin, there is a twisty section which allows you to get away. If you overtake on the backstraight, you really need to take a defensive line or a very fast line through the final corner.

It will be interesting to say the least.

Well said mate. Describes the race nicely. Unlike Monza where overtaking was possible at almost every turn except a few corners. In Deep Forest its the opposite, only a few corners to overtake while a handful of corners it will be really difficult. I have to say that 'corckscrew' just before the hairpin will be a hell of a section to look for. Miss time your break point and your in for a ride, or destruction derby into the driver you have been following.

Ya man, that Jag was always quick in the practice races for the Monza Weekend. But i think JHodas wasn't as concistent as he would have like to.

Oh he was the one that quit? Dont remember. Sorry. lol Oh well that is a bad way to start off. But hopefully the jag does stay in for this season.
 
Was doing a 5 lapper and recorded it to see if i could use a better line at places etc. I now know what is happening to my front right:scared: The double apex after the bridges had it smoking most of the time, also the last corner had it smoking badly. Would not have know this if had not watched replay, so come race day will i slow down to save tyre? No don't think i have the pace to slow down. Think my tactic will be to try and hang around waiting on something happening in front and hopefully pick up a good result.

Dont worry mate, i was concerned about it for a long time. But i thought to myself...what the hell. A mini smoke show during one or two corners should be that bad...right?
 
Jhodas
Do I still have a spot for this?
Giving the Jag a last shakedown now.
