Bridgestone Tour. FINISHED!

[El_Beardo]

The R8 is not one of my strongest cars and I think Beardo has added some power to it over the GTS Bop so much practice maybe required!

More power, and less weight.

Speaking of which, there is a slight update. I was going to run this race at 100% power, and weight. However, I've just noticed that the R8 we have available is the 2015 car.

Slight BoP adjustment to suit. We'll be running 94% power, and 105% weight. 551bhp, and 1286kg. This will get us as close as possible to the 2015 Cup specs.

In game BoP is currently 90/106 (527bhp/1298kg)

Great. Right after I did some testing at 100/100. Untouched, that car is a handful.

Even with some brake bias, it'll still catch you out.

Got my paint job started tonight.

It's slightly easier to handle with a little less power, and a bit more weight. Feels nicely planted for an MR.

Also . . Livery twins? Ish?

I really like that, mate.

Looks that way. I'll have to test with the new BoP later.

Shouldn't that read "over steer" ?

 

[El_Beardo]

Practice lobby will be open soon. Just trying to sort the points spreadsheet to update from the Porsche round.

 

[HammyMansell]

All painted and booted for Friday night in the Audi......Looking forward to it!! 👍



I'll join a practice session in the week if there's one going before race night also!

Practice lobby open. I'll be on track as soon as I've updated the thread with the new points table.

I hope you all notice who my co-driver is? If I am as slow as usual I really hope he will jump in

Can we give Grandpa an award for “most liveries created” - knocking them out faster that max is lapping Fuji 👍

If I spend all that time practicing I might be faster

I do actually have something in mind to reward his attendance, even while knowing he's not going to fight for wins.

Watch this space after the final round . .

P3 in the am cup is looking a done deal

To finish first, you first have to finish.
And apparently it's good for your points to finish last if you do it every time

 

[Pigems]

Ahem, I’m pretty sure I’ve got DFL all wrapped up here folks!

Edit: What a minute, when did I get 11 points?

Ah right, I knew I should have crashed!

Feel free to loop the R8 at any time

Just, away from me. Cos this is my best shot at a podium.

The table is looking super tight!! Bravo to all

Third overall is going down to the last race.

That might change when we drop the two worst scores, though

 

[El_Beardo]

37.998, crossing the line with 0% fuel.

If @GOTMAXPOWER makes any mistakes, I'm diving up his inside.

Sorry about not spotting this. You're more than welcome, mate. We haven't had a full grid, yet. So I think there will be space.

Not when I've been laying out.

Doing math on me should be easy when my 2 worst scores are 0 & 0.

If there's room, I'd like to run another please.

Livery done (I'll slap a number on it). Car ready. Driver ready. Eager to fight for DFL. Watch your back. Waaaaay back.

I could spin circles around you, rookie.
