[Strawman Andy]

Gonna try again to join you (wifey allowing) 146.7 for me so far V8 ftw!

Have you added everything? Theres no limits on anything, should be 552bhp at zero miles. 👍
You can send it to me and I check or I can send you one that I have spare?

Checked back through the other times i dont know if its just me Monza and a Lexus or if im doing something wrong but everything seems to marry up with the regulations.

Well your only 0.6 quicker than my time. Was that on low fuel or did high fuel? My time was high fuel and fresh tyres.👍

High fuel but optimum lap so 2. 146.444

Sounds about right really.👍 as long as it was a clean lap I see mo issues.

It was sir

I think you can get away with low downforce on the rear because the car is so heavy.

Not run low downforce yet, might try tonight.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

146.3 now Im running full aero sounds like a good idea above though.

 

[SkengD]

Not a fan of the 8 speed box I must say

Keep missing my downshifts , expecting it to be 2 and its 3

I never use 1st or 2nd except the start, so basically like 6 gears

It will come like Andy says forget 1/2. Really messes with my VSpec testing though!:-D

 

[BAZZER]

Testing Finished!

Very close field, with Gazer setting the fastest lap time of 1:46.115 with JB close behind. Mini races showed potential for all drivers, with Skeng and Driverone all very close.

Clean driving, no issues with corner cutting and lots of respect for other drivers, looking good guys and thank you for turning up.👍

Next week will be Round 1 & 2 of the championship, at Monza!

 

[Gazza123]

It looks like it could be a close all round i'd say! cant wait.

Reckon i had another 5 tenths in the tank wouldnt have matched 115.

 

[Gazza123]

Yeah so do I... didn't get enough track time always making adjustments

Reckon you two will be fighting for pole position.👍 Very close times set today. Reckon will be close for Round 1 & 2, people lapping in 46's to 47's so not a lot in it.

The draft with these felt pretty strong in the race we had so i think that will help close things up i'd be suprised if anyone ran away with it. Teamwork may play a part.

Well if someone makes a move for an overtake it can break the field into packs, but I too would be surprised to see someone run away with it.👍 And team orders so early would be a bit silly.

Was thinking more along the lines of a little bump drafting.

 

[Gazza123]

Can see it now, coming over the radio now "Gazza is faster than you" that's whats gonna get played to you Andy

Sure that will work well, mainly its against the rules too.
