Did again some testing but with penalties on strong.
At Eau Rouge it´s horrible to not get a Penalty although I think I went clean through it.
The right wheels can only touch the curb minimal.

But you don´t get a penalty that easy at Blanchimont. There is the White/Red curb to be used and the green carpet after, you only get a Penalty here if you are on the Run-off zone.

2:24 mid to low is my capability maybe a 2:23 in Q but my Dodge has like andy some serious Understeer which it
doesn´t had at Monza.
Every change I did made me slower than the first Tests with my Monza set-up.

Maybe I´m on my max.

PS: Penalties on or off it´s up to you. No real time to watch the Replay due too EC ??
=> On (weak because on strong every contact is penalized and contact is a part of racing)


€dit: What are your Eau Rouge speeds ?? I can only manage 207-212kph through it and 273kph at end of Straight. (~130mph +/- 2-4mph)+ (~168-170mph Topend)

The only worry for me about them being on King is i can imagine getting a nudge from someone running wide and suffering twice!:yuck:

I noticed the other day when they were on... When I late braked and hit you from behind I got a pen for a collision and you was fine so don't think it effects the victim.

I remember when pens were on at Fuji and some complaining about being pushed wide and being penalised no doubt it could happen at Spa too.:indiff:
Whats the plan regarding Q points? If we cant witness the laps properly im guessing we cant award the points?:nervous:
 
Sorry guys have to say I can´t make it Monday (ok I could but...).
From Monday on I can work again *Yeah* 👍
But from 4 o´clock in the morning:ouch:

=> I´m not able to stay up till 22-23pm when I have to leave my house at 3:20am

Wish you guys a great Race, will do my Q just incase I could get the points xD

Think you may be right but I've been asleep since then lol
 
I wouldn't advise running penalties on for the race, I've been given penalties for being punted, at Spa before. It's not a nice track with penalties on, just trust you're guys.👍

And I won't be there for any of the next 3 races.:scared:

Yeah sure.

Best I can get is 1.48.6 in the silver thing jb, it's got race pace but not Q pace.
As for the blue one I need to tame it a bit

Just out of interest will penalties be turned off after qualifying is done? Or are we racing with them on?

I liked the red one through the corners.:D

I've fell in love with the silver 1 but I bet it eats tyres, but it kept up with the blue 1 ok in race mode.
