I have a birthday dinner to attend tonight, if i cant get home in time can we postpone by maybe 40 minuters IF everyone is ok with that. Sort of what we did for Makozi when he was at Le Mans

I like the full damage in this series but, arty's got a point. His practice races were a bit of a mess. Maybe Bathurst, Sierra, & Nurb type V should be light damage. Unless full damage is the twist that shakes things up. If that's the case then keep em full damage...just a thoughtIf @IMMORTALPILOT is in, I'm IN!
Agro, Aug, Chris, Evo, Immortal - in alphabetical order - WOOHOO! The best drivers in the world! This should be fun to watch and be a part of!
The fastest full fuel time is 31.4 so far, I am on 32.5 as my fastest but I average 34s... tyre management is going to be very interesting and the key to win... maybe UA and Nik have something up their sleeves
Agro, a quick suggestion, is it possible to have damage on LIGHT for this particular event? I've done a few short practice races and it is not pretty when someone spins in front of you in the tight section and you hit them and get damage through no fault of your own... or as you pointed out, turn 1 (deadly) and turn 2 (deadlier because of the engine killing barrier they have there)...

I'll leave damage on full because when its on light its not really of any consequence for people.
@RacingLine I'll wait I suppose if people are willing to wait. I would hate for you to miss the race.

It's there a chance that you could go longer, or will 40min be the max?

The thing that sucks it's that usually the drivers that cause the most damage to other drivers, are drivers that either quit the race our finish last anyways.
Cool. I'm good for a delay then

I see there ar new drivers in this competition.. and they are pretty fast...
I will suffer in this race. My record is a 32.6 but I obliterate the tyres. Is it normal that medium tyres last shorter than soft tyres? My soft last 6 laps whereas the medium ones last 5 laps. Probably I'll do a 33 in Q and 34 to 37s during the race (if I don't have any accident).
Any advices to go faster and to lengthen the life of tyres?

Higher aero, and / or a steering wheel!
I don't mind waiting for Evo, I am already ahead of him in the points so I don't want him to fall too far back

The mediums will be sliding much more. So thats where the extra wear comes in. Sorry but I don't really have much advice since you're on a pad. I've never used a controller. Only advice I got is to use maximum downforce and try to be smooth on throttle and with the steering.

Personally I think it is better to have Light here for everyone, not least the front runners because it is incredibly hard to pass a car in the twisty section even if a backmarker trying to give space...
I think we got pretty good numbers, there are plenty of others interested in joining (we race with them regularly in the Lotus F1 rooms) but I think retention comes down to having a competitive field all the way through... so long as everyone feels like they're involved in a race, they'll stay...
To that end, I like the idea of the leading drivers sharing their setups so the lower end of the field can try them out... we did it in the old series and it worked well...

You got a few points.
I will be turning damage to light if people think it will promote people sticking around and not quitting.
After this round I'll be editing the drivers list as well since we have a couple of drivers never showing up, so some spots will be opening up.
Thats why I put up my suzuka tune in the OP

I feel that I should have done a better job with keeping the car on the road, I'm also dissapointed in my wheel to wheel racing tonight. Despite the victory i don't feel 100% pleased. I don't like being rushed into races but tonight had to be an exception due to a relatives birthday..

I had the most awfull race today, my setup was a last minute one, and was easily costing me 1.5 sec per lap, then I was on the wrong tyre most of the time wich cost me a massive ammount of time, and to top it off I missed the pit, reversed back, only to get ****ed by the game wich insisted at fueling up to the max, and when I had a spin into the pit, it just drove me straight through, no new tyres.
Its hard to tell, but all in all I lost well above 2 minutes due to just ******** happening. hopefully I'll be more sorted out for the next race.
Oh, and @peiratis1976 , I'm very sorry for the bump, I went wide on the grass and could'nt get the car to stop.
