Were you guys all pitting for tyre wear in that 9 lapper? I was really confused as to why everyone hit the pits

 

[berty1979]

No, I had 99% left

 

[DrifterJoe]

No tyre wear issues for me. Race will be a 1 stopper for me. I'm hoping that Spurgey's 1:44.2xx setup has horrible tyre wear and he has to pit at least once more than me.

We can only wish

 

[cgr-10]

I'm looking at an easy one stop strategy I think, tires just don't seem to wear on the Chappy

[AnTiheLT]

Just did some practice with the 4 cars. All aids off only ABS set to 1, and with the 600pp limit in offline mode.

Fastest time was 1:44.816

Let's just say they were going at me from both ends.

[SkateNj]

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

I do hope you used protection...

This is gonna be a disgrace to Scuderia, LOL.

2D wasn´t a ground effect Car. That was the 2J

I´m glad PD gave the 2D a 3-Gear Tranny and not a 2-Gear one like in Real Life

@Antihelt: Nice Time but offline is a bit faster then online due to different Physics. But the Time won´t drop that much => 1:45 low would your time be 👍

 

[Rich S]

How do we qualify for this? Please tell me I get more than 2 friggin laps.

No... The 2j was a fan car. Ground effects is a shaped bottom instead of a flat one to get more downforce.

 

[KingSakery]

The 2J had the Snowmobile motors to suck the Car to the Ground => Ground effect

Edit: Copy from the Wiki-Article:
"It also had ground effect Lexan plastic skirts to keep air from leaking in, a technology that would appear in Formula One several years later."

 

[Pagey279]

Im feeling much better about this race, ive managed to kill the hideous understeer, and now my car is awesome to drive Still not fast but im good for a mid table finish hopefully

The contraption was epic. Those plastic skirts & the snowmobile engine kicking a** against expensive heavily developed sports cars.

Hi guys for today race i can go with the car i want or i need to know who missing, if so i need to know what car i take to put the car good for the race 👍

P.S: if anybody missing lol

 

[berty1979]

NOTICE- If anyone (except Pagey and Sakery) isnt in my lounge by 2100 (9pm) GMT tonight I will have to assume you are not coming and give your spot to a reserve driver.

RESERVES NOTICE-
1. Be online just before 2100 (9pm) GMT and I will message you to join if the spot is available at 9.
2. You can now use any of the 4 cars to race with and your points will only go towards the drivers championship. No team points will be allocated.

 

[Rich S]

Oh so I cant have Fernando Alonso take my place? What!!??

 

[berty1979]

Rich- I am confused. ???

Pipi is now Reserve 1 and Willie is R2.

 

[cgr-10]

Do you need me to do a stewards report for this race mate? Or are we not bothering till the season starts?

 

[berty1979]

Save the replay just in case but I doubt you will need it. Are you short on memory?

 

[cgr-10]

Well i've got 10 gig left.

 

[berty1979]

Ok so if you dont hear off me for 24 hours just delete it. I am running the stewards differently than the FGTC.
I will only investigate specific complaints and cutting points. If we need to investigate I may ask you to look or ask for a 2nd opinion on something, it will only take 10 or 20 minutes.

 

[cgr-10]

Alright, sounds good 👍

 

[Rich S]

Hope this group can get a clean grid start...if you cant in these you cant in Fiat Punto's.
