Don't know Gedi, got diy stuff to finish before Friday. :ill:

Il be there anyway then flying to monza for some Q practice.
 
Can anyone explain this:

Last night I was coming in for my 2nd pit and I was in front of jb by about 4-7 secs he pitted aswell but we both came out of the pits at the same time,surely this isn't right and I've been done.

Did you go into the pits too fast so that it reset your car?
 
I had it too gedi. Its because of others pitting upfront or pulling out of the box that they slow you down

Think it has something to do with pit speed entry. JB was held for 9secs more than me, when we both entered pit lane at Monza one season. Think he even said he came in at full speed.

Aggh to slow with the writing again.

Correct decision!:grumpy:

Jaguar early fav for pole cant see a Lexus or BMW hitting 148's ~ 149.7 for both currently.:nervous:

BMW will be up there

Is there a track the BMW isn't good at?? I mean the dodge has now had the worst 2 tracks; Lexus will be monza; Jag is normally weak in race 2 performance; Masterati is weak everywhere but fast circuits; Alfa is not so strong at speed circuits

So what's the BMW weakness? Its good on tyres, balanced handling, high top speed - not highest but still high. I'm just wondering that - because I've had my worst tracks for my cars, but I haven't seen any for the BMW :indiff:
 
Thats Lexus Alfa and BMW accused of being dominant now yet a Dodge is top of the table kinda funny.:confused::lol: Not to mention i said and the start of the season that the M3 is a good all rounder but its no toad or R8 far from it.:D

Lexus is the Toad lol
 
I can´t get the BMW to the Times you guys bring it. In addition I couldn´t run her in to achieve the 441kw.

So my Times with the Beemer are waaay off, but it drives superb.
Will do my first tests tonight.
I think there is no Rabbit car like S2´s R8 this time.
 
Exactly king there is no stand out toad.:)

Anyways best i can squeeze outta the Lexus is 149.2's 8's out of reach.

Not done any decent laps yet but I looked in my Toad handbook and I done 1.49.6s in pre-season testing. :(
 
Ok I´ll review my thought of no Rabbit Car. *little-Teaser :D*
I could only do a 1:49.7ish so 0.5 seconds ?? Well atleast you can get draft and stay at someones rear end :D
But my Tire wear was awesome, but that´s me. Not fast but good to Tires :D.

I still have to fight with the correct cutting though. I have some room for going tighter so maybe there are some tenth´s for me to cut off.

Think that's where I'm losing too,I only used kerbs with inside wheels.

8's probably not in reach for me - but tyre wear was nothing at lap times of 49.5's so once again stronger in race 2
 
Laps whoops will check and set for races asap.:guilty:

Monza laps 10 ~ 28 looks good if no objections.

Tested the C12 sort of tamed it then realised it was at 660bhp changed it to 591bhp and went faster...:confused: work that out
 
Made a mess of my quali. 1.49.3 something. Stu watched he knows the exact time.

1:49:314. Would have been quicker but for the drifting round the lesmo's. Super clean laps, 2 tyres on the black stuff. 👍 This old toad has still yet to break into the 49's:scared:
 
Cheers guys just a bit disappointed after hitting so many 48's they were becoming regular. Got my banker lap in but didn't improve on it, bit of shame seeing as the tyres come in proper on the last lap. Oh well pole is'nt so important here at least. I'm pretty sure one of you guys will beat my time, not that I want to add any pressure or nuffink :sly:

Yeah I noticed last night that the tyres took a lot longer to warm up.
 
Would take that all day long nice work mate:) Them 48's should see you good for the races.:scared:
Cheers mate might have to work on getting the rear more stable for the race though cos if not carefull it does like drifting around the corners :crazy:
