Hahaha !! 👍

Thanks man , it was a tidy lap . I'm pretty sure you'll find more time & tyre durability , come Sundays you're always epicly quick . 👍
 
Wouldn't you know it, I was finally getting some good consistent lap times and then I realized I'm going to be gone this weekend. After this weekend you guys should be seeing more of me online. Work permitting of course!#?

Haven't stepped foot in the Calsonic since the last race lap around Indy. Practice starts tonight for me and I'm behind the 8-ball this week with very little time on my hands. Going to be an ugly race for me unless some free time appears out of thin air between now and Sunday.

If one of you opens your lounge this afternoon drop a message in this thread... I might just jump on for a few minutes to check out the draft and adjust the top speed.

How is your top speed set compared to Indy?
 
Bad news guys...Time change this sunday wont allow me to race...I just need to confirm that the race will be at 11:30EST?
 
Yes the Race Starts at 11:30am EST time

That stinks. We don't change our clocks for another week here in the US so does that mean you are out for good KK or just this one week?

NOTE: (from here):
DST started on Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 2:00 AM local standard time
DST ends on Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 2:00 AM local daylight time
Daylight Saving ends in USA and Canada Nov 6​

The current time is actually EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) and not EST (Eastern Standard Time) until Nov 6th.

Anyway, I at least know Gamesta is always 3 hours ahead of me and he always plans to start the race at 11:30 his local time so that means it always starts at 8:30 my time. But for EU it's very confusing.

Good thing Hydro stepped into a Nissan. We'll need him if we're going to hang with the other teams. Anxious to see the points total after last week... is that coming today Gamesta?

Its just gonna be one week (hopefully)...All these time changes are really confusing...
 
So , if got my timezones correct then , all it means for us Europeans is that the lounge & race is open 1 hour earlier this week .

And when EDT reverts to EST , we're all synchronised again .

So this week , practice starts at 2pm & the race at 3.30pm .

just ran like 10 laps at daytona, one mistake in one turn seems to cost you alot on this big track. my best lap so far was a 1.43.5xx with 1.43.8s being pretty dang consistent, not too worried about tire wear here. not sure how much we'll be drafting together so unsure as to up my top speed for the draft or not.

Finally got on the track. I ran a high 1'42 as my best lap with low 1'43s fairly common in more of a qualifying mode (risky lines). I'm thinking high 1'43 to low 1'44 is a safer more consistent race pace.

It's probably going to be a little slower still as I have to bump up the top speed to account for the draft.

I ran 17 laps and my tires were pretty shot near the end. Going with one stop is *not* a no brainer for me. At least not with my car/tires/setup. It's possible, but not sure it's faster. At 30 laps it would be an easy call, but 35 laps is going to make it tough.
 
High 1.42's ? That's quick . 👍

I'm still in the .44 window but i've got my final test tomorrow .
Also , i've not done any long runs so I have no tyre wear data to share as of yet .

ya with my current setup i can go like 7 laps and have only an eighth of tire wear gone. my try to bump it up a lil so i can qualify up front.
 
I mean to join if I can.

Car: Petronas TOMS SC430

Yah we've got to out qualify dragon to have a shot. Give him another taste of "Tj on his slipstream"... That seems like the best way to slow him down (see Suzuka). :lol: When he gets out front in clean air he's hard to catch.

I'm regretting my errors on Suzuka now as that was an opportunity lost (point wise).

Well I should catch and pass you points wise kk at daytona so we can have an intra-team battle if dragon walks. Although it took an absence by you for me to get close and a second absence to pass.

Hopefully by the time you return I'll hit my racing stride... Starting to get the hang of this live racing now vs time trials.
 
I've got some more bad news....Im out next week due to Eid...Which means Im gonna miss out in Spa...I was just wondering if theres any way we could maybe..swap Spa with Nurb 24hr?...If not I understand since many of us would like Nurb to be the season finale...I'd just like to apologise for my absence in the past 4 races...

The Best I think we can do is switch Sarthe and Spa around on the calendar if everyone is ok with this.
