Used up some fuel and then put new tyres on. I’ve got more pace than I was expecting....

I’ve got more confidence to throw the car around than I did in the last GR3 round in the Lambo.

Now it’s time to whack some paint on the car.

Now it’s time to whack some paint on the car.

Looks like it's going to be close at the sharp end, this time. I dipped into the 56's at about 70% fuel earlier this morning.

Far from being consistent at that pace, though. I seem to lose time through the tight left/right in S1, and then at the fast left/right over the top of the hill.

I was low/mid 57s at about 70% fuel. I also struggle with that section of sector 1.

The car feels good to me with this BoP and medium tyres. I rarely use it for dailies.
 
Practice lobby open, if anyone wants in for an hour or so.

Edit. We'll try again tomorrow. My connection isn't stable enough tonight.

Practice lobby open. Trying a new time of day.

Once again. Connection issues have killed the lobby. It'll be back up in a few mins.

Consistent mid to low 57s over a race length run. Pretty happy with that, I think. Actual race pace should a bit quicker (provided I don't get into any drawn out fights) given the lower starting fuel load.

Think I'll be aiming for a mid 56 towards the end of quali. Maybe a little faster, if I can hang on to someone's slipstream.
