Had a practice in the BMWs. First of all, the M1 sounds fantastic! Secondly, Paul you bagged yourself a legendary livery with the #1 , but Team DeStijl is definitely the coolest
. If you're curious where raeggee or I went, just look out for the 485bhp Mondrian painting.
The default set ups seem to put in 50 litres of fuel, is that the same for everyone else? That should last for 16 laps, but the 40 minute race will be 20 laps
so some refueling will be required.
Tyres seem to last okay even with accelerated wear, 1 stop should be plenty unless the weather conditions are really wild. If wet conditions do occur, the slicks seem okay until they get cold and lose all the grip; if it rains just as you've gone past the pits, they should (hopefully) stay warm enough to get round safely before this happens.
Wet hazards:
- A dangerous wet line across the track builds up before the Dunlop curve left hander.
- Inside of the sharp right hander before you go under the bridge gets very wet, then another wet line across the track after you go under the bridge.
- Kerb and astro turf outside of the spoon curve very very slippy. Same for turn 1 after the straight.
- Line across track after the spoon, generally okay but could be hazard for overtaking maneuver after exit.
- Possibly more but those are the ones that stood out to me.
BMW M3: by my understanding it's ideal weather conditions for this one? So forget strategy and just chuck this great car round for 20 mins
. I'm finding the final corners leading to the straight tricky, have to keep the weight balance spot on without losing too much speed. More practice needed!
