Was actually gonna ask if anyone was up for some practice lobbies, if you're around and up for it?Catalunya testing is going pretty well.
Nice one, I'll shoot you a friend request in the meantime.Yeah, man. I've just jumped off for a smoke/coffee. But, I'll re-open the room, and be back in 15 mins or so.
Test lobby room number.

Will there be one on over the weekend mate? I'll try and join if so!!
If anyone decides they do want to switch cars (while staying in your class) you have until Sunday 27th to make your choice.
Also, seeing an old Group C car hurtling towards you at almost 350ks is a little unnerving down that back straight.
I run a few laps at dusk. It was amazing. The sky is so beautiful!Ooooh its gonna be pretty. I did a 90 min sim against the ai at 'sunrise' the other day. But 'dusk' looks good!!!
I think we were doing around mid to high 45s as race pace, low fuel qualy runs were about a second quicker.I run a few laps at dusk. It was amazing. The sky is so beautiful!
GR.3 lap times? Anybody ?
I think all the GT3 cars feel a bit like that because it's a narrow track with surprisingly tight corners in heavy cars.Race pace laps for me on softs, without short shifting were low to mid 46s. On mediums with short shifting, I was about a second slower.
I didn't run quali pace, flat out laps.
The 'Vette feels like a boat at Catalunya, though. It isn't. It just feels like it is.

Your Corvette seemed a bit slow on the straight when I was following (I had the slipstream but it felt more like you were down on power).

I didn't have the time to open a lobby, so I ran offline. Dusk, RM/RM with BoP on (I know, old habbits...), BB +1 and I did 47-48 laps if I'm correct. So in online lobbies this will be 50.xxx or rather 51+ laps to me(?).
The last time I ran the 'vette at Catalunya I seem to remember turn in was nice and sharp for qualy, but during the race you practically had to start turning before you actually got to the corner to get it to turn in.
I guarantee it doesn't feel as lazy as the XJR-9 does through the hairpin and long right hander before the chicane... Holding about 1/4 - 1/3 revs in second gear and it feels like pushing my bike in a circle when I unlock it from the rack... One impatient squeeze of the fun pedal and I'm in the gravel. Very difficult on the mediums/once the rears have gone.Nah, you're not going to lose 3 seconds a lap.
I quite like it pretty much everywhere else. But, turn feels very lazy at Catalunya. Then again, it suits a lazy driving style. Which I can usually do pretty well.
Hold my beer . After work I'll check it .Nah, you're not going to lose 3 seconds a lap.

That lazy V8 of the Corvette makes is seem slower than it actually is.
Online lobby, RM, BB +1, 1:48.128 after 5-6 laps. With lower on fuel, there is a chance for the 47.xxx .
No worries . No way I could keep this speed for a "long" time . I'm counting on 48.5+ laps + lame errors .Oh great.
@Invisigoth are you keep me company at the back or are you sodding off up the road as well?
Watch out for my special 15 stop strategy ^.^
