Yep true will try my lounge nextweek we got maintenance coming up fingers crossed that irons even more stuff out.💡 Toms not comfortable with his V8 pace so will not be around for S3/4 so i assume hes lounge is out now.:guilty:
 
Am I lagging again? I might go wired next week - wireless seems fine when I do "test connection" it says its just as strong as wired connection :confused:

Also gedi and JB any table updates?

Jonz won.

I was happy with tonight, had a very good race except for tyre strategy and 1 or 2 errors..

Very nearly took Gedi out by mistake in race 1.. :nervous:

Changed line through last tunnel. Hugged right up to right hand kerb and could take tunnel at 80 to 84mph with no tyre squeal, also took last corner easier. After going of in 1st race and really pushing lap after lap the 2nd race felt a lot easier. Think my fastest lap race 1 was 48.5, race 2 don't know if i was below a 50, will have to check.

The Toad is indeed the stand out car in S3 by the looks of things, still dont think its quite R8 dominant like S2. 2 more races with the toad then its extinct for now.:sly:

Thanks JB great race following you for 2-3 laps then chickened out and pitted :scared: very tidy driving mate, well done on the podium finish. Came in too early really for one of my stops so had to do a longer last stint, took the line through the tunnel like Stu, tried to minimize tyre squeal as much as possible. Well done Stu on the race win 👍

Cheers Jonzster, was watching the gap back to you get smaller. When it dropped to 6 secs thought i had to put in a couple of quicker laps to try and break your advance.
 
Gonna come clean and probably sound really stupid!:dunce: But does anyone else struggle with what the correct lap is to come in on? Im forever going round on for example lap 6 thinking at the end of this lap have i done 6 or 7??
Thick i know but i always struggle with it.:crazy:
I did the exact thing you mentioned Jonzster came in too early because i cant always work it out, the amount of mistakes i make trying to get this right i know does me no favours, added to the constant tyre watching give me those hards!!!!

Thanks, would have done much better if I had not followed you into the pits on lap 5/6. Then I would have had shorter second and third stints and when I caught up to you near the end I could have put in a challenge.

Did a very weird 2 stopper, came in on end of 5, start of 6, end of 15, start of 16, and my tyres were shot at the end. Crawled home on last lap for a 2:30.XXX.

Think of it this way, you start on beginning of 1, so if your doing a 3 stopper in a 20 lap race you'd come in on, end of lap 5, start of lap 6. Then for your second stop, end of 10, start of 11, and last would be end of 15, start of 16. That's how I remember it as I use to have a lot of trouble with it, and did so last night after a bad tyre choice..
 
BTW according to my maths skills - I think JK2 has won as even if Jonz scores wins in all the events and JK2 gets nothing he still wins by 3 points

Newsflash he was running a 1560kg Jaguar Sy with a view to running it in season 4.:scared:

Matty will try and keep that system in mind, every feature race can be 20 laps from now on hehe.:sly::dunce:

Well, my plan was to do a end of 7 beginning of 8, 15/16 and to the finish.

But I had to do 2 9 lap stints on medium/soft as I went in too early..

Well that may be, but mediums on the front with softs on the back doesn't last all that long..

Look at my last lap in the race.. I had no tyres.. :dopey:

Jk2 has it in the bag, even with a heavy car he's no push over.
