I remember this argument before about whether it was a boxer, V or flat
I believe the consensus was that it’s a flat 12 but that’s essentially a V12 with a 180 degree angle so I guess technically you are both correct!!

Yeah, it was a bit confusing calling it a Berlinetta Boxer when technically the cylinders are not in a boxer arrangement but it was always known as a flat12 since Ferrari launched the engine format in the 312b F1 car. A 180 degree V looks like this __

First 15 laps. This car does not like being told what to do! Definitely still loads of time to make up once I’ve tamed the beast.

Not for you? You’re still nearly a second quicker than me so far
I'm lucky to get 1 lap.. without going off the road..

Smooth is key with this one like the Stingray (C3) a few weeks ago.
If you are really struggling... Put Sport Hard tires on it and run 3-5 laps. Put the Sport Softs back on and you will be amazed at how much better the car feels. This should make you a bit faster in my opinion. Smooth is fast with minimal steering angle and control the direction with the throttle.

Regarding the engine discussion, this is two flat sixes joined together, or at least that's what a Ferrari mechanic with 30 years of experience explained to me a couple of years ago. He told me it was a nightmare to get the ignition timing right if you had never worked on the engine before.

It’s all well and good posting splits and the like but what about the important information - colour choice? I’ve gone for a nice “Rosso Rubino” to take in the Italian countryside
I don’t know the track at all but have driven the car a couple of times before!

I found staying in 3rd and cutting the 1st corner hard gave you a chance to get on the gas for 2 without spinning out. Seems to be working for me but have no idea if this is the right thing to do 👍

One of the issues we have are slightly different power ratings depending on the country the user is in.Is figure of power in OP a typo? because I got confused, as I see my 512 has 354Hp, not 345. ^^
@PASMneeded to check the tyre compounds needed and saw this.
Since the only means of changing power is making adjustments to it in the tuning screen with the percent slider (or BOP), you don't really have any risk with being out of compliance, provided your power and weight are both at 100% (or as directed in the OP for that week).
