I managed one high 48 with the Lexus (track suits) it was an honest lap. 49's are the benchmark.

Any one like to talk me through best lines through 1st chicane at Monza. Just now i run over both rumble strips,straight line from strip to strip, but it compromises my exit and i have to wait before getting on the power. Can you get away with a little dab of throttle mid corner etc. I know it's helping the opposition but we are all 1 big happy V8 family.

Confirming I will be racing at Le Mans should a spot be available.

For me Stu its pot luck i often get on the power a smidge to early on the exit and its curtains The perfect lap for me will result in nailing the power as early as possible depends how brave you want to be i spose.

Agree on the power to early = grass I would let the car coast through the chicane, no dab of throttle mid corner and change up early on exit.

Hey Gik, i was told by JB about thinking of putting me on Reserve. I just want to say that im only confirming that the first 2 weeks of racing i wont be here to race. But there rest i will be. So i was just saying that so a reserve driver could practice to take my place for La Sarthe and Nurburgring. 👍 Sorry if i wasnt clearer.

I normally go tight when following someone

If Im trying to overtake - I brake slightly earlier - then tighter line but more power on exits

If Im setting fast laps/on my own I normally take a smoother line in 👍

Mid-Chicane at Monza with a little throttle is a no-no. Best thing to do is slow down as much as possible, but at the same time letting the car roll through the chicane without any brake input for best result. Thats how i normally try to do it, as soon as i get mid-corner of the second corner, i gently start pressing the gas to get the best effect. The trick is getting the right braking at the entrance of the chicane though, if that is wrong, the exit will be ****.

1st Chicane at Monza I normally take the first right corner a bit slower and therefore I can almost Hammer the Throttle down.
=> better speed for not getting passed or to pass someone.

Because if you mid chicane Throttle you won´t get the perfect line for accelerating out of it and you´ll might touch the grass and that´s a thing you won´t want.

In addition keep far on the right through the first right of the chicane. It´s not a 90° right 90° left chicane the corners are sharper (95 each me think).

==> all in all: slow in fast out

Just out of interest, am I the only one who misses Season 2's regulations?

Are you agreeing with me cos the first part of what you've written there is almost exactly what I said

This season looks better than last season, all the cars are about 0.5 within each other on most tracks - whats not to like about that?

I miss my Ferrari.

 

[Strawman Andy]

I miss my Ferrari.

Ok I miss those cars - McLaren vs Ferrari would be great to see one day - but Im looking forward to S4 more than those cars 👍

I also got better results in S2, I think it was purely down to the cars being easier to drive.
