I'm practicing at Ade's now. :)

Practice report.
Alone. (but never afraid)
About an hour.

Overall I'm going alittle faster. 2.12.xx :yuck:
Some adjustments to increase the understeer made me faster through the chicanes.
Found out one or two brakeing points. Still more to do...
I'm passing through the sweeping bends alittle faster now.

Looked at the replay from the last practice and saw that many can brake so late!! How do you do that? :crazy:

Oh, almost forgot - two tires always on the tarmac. :)

Great going Rosen, my time at the moment is sitting at a 4:10.xx. I know where I am losing the time, its in the later part of the track. I just need a bit more confidence with keeping the power on. I am gonna have another go on Thursday, tomorrow I am busy. Are you using ABS for this Combo, I know you normally dont.

Yes, I'm using ABS with this car. I tried some laps with the low tuned car and came to the conclusion that's too hard for me. So S3 will be ABS on.

And it's 4.12.xx not 2...

2:12 would have been insanely fast, and to be honest I didnt notice your typo until you posted. :dunce:
 
Had a few laps running a slightly different set up. Now managing 4:07s. More work to do on the front end though. Feels a bit understeery on certain parts of the track. Going to have a proper practice night on Saturday and Sunday if anyone fancys a few laps.
 
Today was the first day i tried out my G27 properly, I managed a 4:04.9xx.

Pretty happy with the time, defiantly a lot to improve on, Reckon i could take a couple of seconds off just by removing the errors i made.

You really should mate, personally I can run times as close but makes no difference with pad and wheel, but the feeling between the two is night and day. I reckon as far as enduro races go its much easier to be consistent with a wheel too. I can only do so many laps with a pad before my fingers start to stop working lol :D

Looking forward to Sunday Ade, lets hope we get a fair few on track :) I'll be running both tyre compounds even if no one else does, I've not tried the car on S3s yet so it'll be good to get the practice.

Yeah I want to get an idea of the SS tyre aswell. If only to try and work out a tyre strategy for the race. Im going to be practicing for an hour or so tonight aswell as Sunday, so if anyone fancys a few laps I will be on from about 8.00pm.
 
Well Saturday practice was good fun. Only 3 of us, but it gave us a chance to try both tyres. We ran 2 races on the RH,and 1 on the SS(ahem). Still some work required for my times to come down, which will come with more track time. ( have managed a 4:08xx ) I did struggle for grip in the last race, and my car was understeering like mad, and would not stay in a straight line , let alone go round corners. After viewing the replays from the last race, I realized I had equipped my Evora with the wrong tyres, and was using the Sport Hard tyre. Meh!!

Times from the replays are as follows.

Racing Hard.

CAPT.D...4:07.727
FUELMYFIRE...4:08.427
ADE3210...4:11.722

Sports Soft.

GTP_CAPT.D...4:11.155
FUELMYFIRE...4:11.633
ADE3210...4:27.957​
 
Only 2 weeks to go until this race. Going to have another practice tonight, as I need all the track time I can get, and I am limited on weekdays. So tonight at 8.00pm I will run another practice session. Also Socal is back from his holiday, and will be racing in this enduro, so that makes 13 on the grid for this one so far.👍👍

Well we had a good fun practice tonight. The results below are fom the replays I saved tonight, and also include the times from Saturday's practice. The results with brackets next to them are the times set on Saturday night. We saw 4 tonight, and this time I made the correct tyre selection when we ran the SS tyre. In free run before the first race, I managed my fastest time yet on the RH tyre, getting a 4:07.895. Not too sure where I can find 2 + seconds, but I will try. I am also sure that Cobani will have bettered the times posted below by the end of the evening.

Only 1 more weekend to get some practice for this. I will open my lobby again next Saturday and Sunday for some more practice. It would be good to see a few more next week for this practice before the race. Judging by tonight, I think its going to be a right blast.👍👍👍

With just over 1 week to go until the 24 laps of Lemans, this weekend I will be practicing on Saturday and Sunday. I will open a practice lobby on both evenings from 8.00pm. Had a quick session on Thurs, and managed another 2.07.xx. Would like to get that down by a second.
 
Wooooo!!! Been proper busy this week, haven't had time for anything much never mind GT! I'm busy tomorrow night too but I can be around this evening for sure :) Hope there's a few turn up.. Looks like its been a bit quit in here.

It has been a bit quiet Capt. I think thats because its nearly Christmas, and we are between seasons. Not sure how many will turn up for practice tonight, or tomorrow. Would be nice to see a few, although I know that The Sunday Cuppers will be there on the grid come race day.
 
Well we had 7 for practice tonight. Was good to see Jimftr, AKA Gary/ Brian turn up and give us a run for our money. We ran 3 lap races, and I did get a little unplanted near the 2nd chicane on Mulsanne and cause some casualties. Sorry for that Gary, Gary, Gary and Brian. The rest of the practice was fairly tidy. I only saved 3 of the replays tonight, as I am fairly full on HD space on my PS3. So if anyone has any record times to submit, for both RH, and SS, let me know. I will be having another practice tomorrow, and will post all fastest times after that.
