BST V8 challenge -COMPLETED

[Akmuq]

My best was 1:34.1, didn't do a tyre wear test but it wasn't noticeable in about 6 or so laps.

I'm predicting tyres won't be really annoying in the sprint and one-stop in the feature.

 

[Culkin]

Nothing wrong with that time MrM hoping for a quite grid tonight im gonna struggle at the back it seems.

 

[Akmuq]

I'm aiming for a pole and a win tonight. But to get a good start you really need to pull away on lap 1 because the chicane always has the potential to be carnage when the slower drivers know it's their only chance of overtaking the guy in front.

Is everybody here using manual? Or Auto?

 

[Furinkazen]

Auto, currently planning a pit strategy... Traffic will decide this race..

 

[Akmuq]

You should try learn manual, so much faster.

As for pit strategy, the best would probably be a one-stop and just put up with crap tyres because you will just wear your fresh rubber being stuck behind someone.

 

[moeom]

Cant go faster than 1:36....

Must admit im edging towards an auto box for this track could do with both hands on the wheel.

 

[cunny17]

I'm in for tonight. So easy to make a mistake round here, as the tyres wear and braking distances increase and understeer gets worse. Taking it easy and knocking a couple of secs a lap of your pace won't work because of the lack of overtaking places.

Stu

I like manual, you can click it down an extra gear to help get it stopped.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

^ Im torn Stu lol yeah i wack that rev limiter to try and stop the thing sometimes and the times are quicker with a manual box dont matter what i do really just plan old struggle round Monaco so beware!!

 

[Carbonox]

I'm using automatic for strictly enjoyment. It feels horrible if I constantly have to change gears myself, I can't relax when doing that... And especially at Monaco there would be way too much work to do...

 

[Akmuq]

Johnboy what wheel do you have? I have a DFGT and even a Ferrari F1 isn't a problem when it comes to shifting gears here.

 

[Gedi69]

Not long now lads!

 

[Carbonox]

Great news people, it seems that I'm actually going to continue this series. A recent tune-up from Johnboy made driving easier and I got a mid-35 with 573hp, which definitely is enough to reclaim my confidence! Now it's just these walls which are pretty easy to steer into, but at least my speed seems to have improved, at last.

 

[Gedi69]

Good old jb

 

[yoman297]

I'll be a reserve in the Chevrolet.

 

[Furinkazen]

Interesting...

 

[Gedi69]

I'll be a reserve in the Chevrolet.

Race finished but maybe next week

 

[Furinkazen]

I need to get a list, of people who I can race with and who I cannot. Great scrap with cunny in R2 👍

 

[Culkin]

Great first race between RP and Akmuq, really enjoyed watching it...not sure about the 5 wide moments into the left,right right after the chicane first lap though
