THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[bjl23]

Very nice boss ,you are in good way .
Try to find a quick line up or a slower one ( what suits you best ) and study the passing points.
At a quick field you can gain sleepstreming advantage taking thel lead at 3rd lap ,at the slower at 2nd lap.
One is certain ,from your mate you will be quicker or at least you can since he put him selfi in a huge power handicap .

Tinkerbell no need to change something at your NSX ,nobody ask for it , we just play we don't compete for the crown of the world .
Have a cool day guys .

My laps where:
1:20, 1:12, 1:12, 1:12, 1:13
I found a faster field is best but like you said need to get a field with good passing points.
I avoid fields if the AI gets in your way on the last 2 corners (which is hard to find)
I do think I can still gain 1 - 2 more seconds if I can get more consistent.

I was speaking with Bryce when I did 6:07, I think he'd like me to reevaluate my car.. If I'll have time, I don't mind to do it..when I was doing setup I didn't have time to do test on twin montegi but I barely did 12.9 in forest... In race it turned out much faster but to be honest if gear ratios were different for me it would probably go 11s but than I tried few laps after my race and my best was 12.1 without slipstream .. So it's really up to you guys, if Bryce thinks I need to trim some PP it's not a big deal, I just hope I'll have time to do it.. I dont really remember montegi ring, if it has long straights than I wont be among fastest, thatefor sure..

We will have a better idea on times when the round ends as I'm sure people have some times up there selves.

 

[smoothbore12]

No tune first and final entry

Try hard to take the S's right and needed to brake in order to stay on quick line .
On TT i did a high 1.33 but i don't think i ll try again to gain half or one ( max) sec.

Now am free for NSX , taming the beast and my anxiety.

 

[skeagracing]

For the race at Circuit de la Sarthe some advice; best to pass them on your 3rd lap as if not you are now looking for trouble as the other race cars with tons more HP will be on your back or passing you and if you drop kick them as they are passing you that will be your fault. You can block them but if they are passing give them racing room as at that point you cannot block them anymore.

[smoothbore12]

Huston we have problem ,new guy in P2


Change 4 line ups , restarts ? Endless .My right thumb became flat
My worst lap usually was the second one at 13s and the good part is at the two last laps can shot almost dead 12s .
That means that there is room for improvement if i hit a clean 1.20 and a 12 or 11 at second lap.

The sequence was 21, 13, 11, 12, 12

The comedian isn't being so funny now, nice time mate.

Edit,
Since the half way mark I've doing the championship points, if you haven't already realized.

Just notice today and ...... I like what i see till now.
Still afraid @RMan72 ,he might not running on SRF but is The Boogeyman and we are aware what that means.
Pity that Paddy he must try hard to join the frontrunners club and am afraid he can't at that race.
Although is not one race and will see what will come up at the end.

Hope Gladiador to fire up again since we are on same level ( at power) and allow the Mediterranean Arta team to shine.

All our cars should be capable of doing similar times, so don't count out Paddy. Hopefully he can pull something out of his bag, team takata counting on him.

 

[smoothbore12]

Its a lot of missing " horses" Bryce and his gearbox is at the limit.
I know that Torreto is master of distraction but is different a low pp TT and different thing the race.
Even with 530 pp and 357 hp they pull away easy on straights and if you hesitate a bit they jump on you ending with a very nice spin.

Shocking p2 for Raybrig ..While Takata doing a Mercedes

Am aware of that .
Today i i open a message from Paddy and when Maria enter the room she said :
Do i smell beer or its something else ?

 

[smoothbore12]

Good morning guys .
A small push for my mate @lfm58

While i have some information from team mechanics preparations

Irish and Aussies find a common point

For @RMan72 and @nostradavor2 as twilight zone creators has separate ways but they have common to pump power scaring people through magic .

Don't forget school lesson , i don't wanna be the only participant

@smoothbore12 Some brave soul will come along to keep you company.

As we speak you have to be a bit brave to run faultless this lotus among power monsters .
I try everything but couldn't end the way i like ,hope the others do it better and be more patient than i was.
This is definitely a race that take it slow to win , applies 100%.

Good day guys allover the globe.

CHIC update

I was chatting with Bryce today that have left Chic race for couple of days and that i needed time alone in the house ........ Maria went upstairs to her daughter to help her cook something and i grab the chance to do ma thing.
Come on @lfm58 , lets lock the 3 top positions .

Lap sequence as live info record them
20.956
11.330
11.976
12.110
11.851
Cause honestly is whats all about and as i wrote i can shoot dead 12s on last 3 laps.
Even if we count the last two 11high as 12 am still close to P1 if i can manage right the last turn of first lap with all that cars in front of me,. but still can't find the right path and need to repeat again and again which way to go without stuck at someone's back or hit the grass or spin .

[lfm58]

R45 CHIC NSX R1 (6:06.738)

My focus for R45, after 27 races and 7 times 6:08 in the last attemps, the magic race came

1:20.1 - 1:12.0 - 1:11.4 - 1:11.5 - 1:11.5

 

[bjl23]

Congratulations to all the winners.

I'm pretty happy with how CHIC worked, considering the top 5 where only 2.5 seconds apart and if @RMan72 hopped the curb as I'm sure most of us did it would have been even closer.
Some people did run a lot faster then there qualifying times but with a lot of laps put in they where bound to get faster and hopping the curb.
As for @paddycars1, I'm going to let you change your power limiter so the group is more balanced, l'll reveal that later.
