Sorry about your net problems Chunx. I knew that you would not have wanted to miss Le Mans. We must do it again.


You're right about that. Darn ISP! \:\(

I did get to do some laps with amk on the server this evening. I tried his setup, and got down to a new PB of a 3:17.2 in race trim with full tank of gas (as in, 95L, which I learned is too much). What kind of quali and lap times were being run by the group?

I'll be unable to drive next weekend, either, due to family commitments. Darn it!

I occasionally lose my mind and forget to set things ... right. It is my humble humor to find I recorded this in it's entirety.

Sunday's McLaren F1 Feature

Just overheard my chief mechanic talking with a team boss.It seems some nut was loose on the wheel,or something like that.Yeah,I seem to remember that car was little strange ...Hope they sort it in time for the next race...
BTW do we now what layout we will be racing at at Brianza - GP layout?

EDIT - Just saw that track has been changed.

New Zealand looks fun! Fairly short course with lots of drifting. ;\)

Just ran about 10 laps there to get a feel and learn the track, PB after 10 laps is 0:59.242.

Stock setup...

(Just for hotlaps)

Changed tires to soft
10 laps of fuel
lowered final gearing one click
2/6 wing
3 radiator
3 brake duct
3 engine braking
lowered springs by about 10
medium TC \:\)

Felt good to me, will be cool to see how the fast guys run.

I grabbed the new Manfeild track and that layout because of it's "swoopyness". \:\)

Poor Brianza is too narrow for these cars IMO. I'd remembered it wider, and not quite as bumpy.

A few of us on the server last night running low 1:28s and a couple 1:27s. Very fun track, but it can bite you. \:\)

The 4 hour endurance race on the 27th is on the same weekend as the Spanish GP... I don't know if I can do a 1.5 hour race and then a team 4 hour race.. bit of a drainer.. anyone else feel the same?

Yeah, IMO that's a really bad idea. The F1 race is tough enough without a mini enduro thrown in afterwards. There's no way I can race for 6+ hours in one day, not to mention the fact that a 6PM eastern ending time for a race makes it rather untenable for European drivers on a Sunday night.

We must do a 4 hour Le Manns at some stage though, I love the cars and the track too much to see that one disappear.

Maybe extend the McLaren F1 championship a week, or drop an existing race and replace it with the Le Manns?

Or just swap the schedule around a bit so that the 4 hours take place on a non F1 weekend.
