Didn't plan on getting caught though.

I know you changed tyres johnny because mine ran out of rubber a lot faster than yours on 2nd stint. They were fairly even 1st stint

Just a bit of a sour taste mate that's all but I appreciate your post.

 

[True-blue-8]

i'll spend tomorrow evening glued to it and i'll look at times, tyre wear etc
will test the 'tyre type change' in room settings during the week

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Early heads up I can't make next week sadly.

 

[sibbystiggy]

The gap between 1st,2nd,3rd and the rest was huge! I wonder what was going on there...
as for tyres, what is the penalty for not using the same tyre compound throughout the race?

 

[priesty_lfc]

Yeah sorry I didn't show, started replaying the Destiny beta and forgot about the time.

Will be there next week, promise!

Not sure what your trying to say????? The penalty should be DQ in my eyes.

Stewards you have mail.

the gap between cars was huge is all I'm saying, I was 3rd about half a minute behind 2nd, and other than tenderly who was about 4seconds behind, there was no 1 around, I was racing alone for 90% of that race.

Wrong tyres then.

yh maybe, I went with what you told me, soft, soft, meds, worked just fine... I wonder what the people ahead of me were using...

I only made one stop 15 laps on softs 14 on mediums. I don't recall giving you any advice would have if you had asked.

you kinda did:
"Ignore the hards start on softs and finish on mediums that's all ya need to know mate.
👍"

I pitted twice tho lol, so I didn't follow what you said exactly, next time I'll try to pit once

Just realized too, If I had gone for meds in my 1st pit stop, i would have finished 3rd

Phooey to no drop scores!

 

[True-blue-8]

Seems like numbers can be put on. Are we able to do it with touring cars? i'll check later

 

[Malcolm Tucker]

Forgot to check earlier but apparently it's only premiums

 

[priesty_lfc]

Any times about so I can see how far back I am?

Hey guys, will tag everyone closer to the race, but here's a bit of info for those keeping an eye on things lol
Spa weather will be completely dry which is good. Stalliono is out of the series after selling his ps3 for a ps4 and not telling anyone. typical, and @rtv190 is on a warning for being AWOL and not responding to my messages. Numbers starting to drop, hope we get some more interest, but doubt it. Anyway, here's the grid for Wednesday:

1. Skengdigi
2. A
3. A
4. A
5. A
6. glenn_cullen
7. GTP_Litchi
8. GTP_JIM
9. mrbrendon999
10. tenderly90
11. TheOldStig
12. TNR_FILO
13. CRANK_U1
14. johnboy-1975-

A
priesty_lfc
smith1001
siliconburn
Am36925

Position 2-5 are locked on points so wouldn't be fair to put on in front of the other so the guys in group A don't have a set position. So the way it will work is the order you join room. First to join gets to start closer to the front.

Thanks for letting us know as we have him in an other series. I'll keep an eye on him now 👍

 

[V8-Johnboy]

*Cough* Remembers warning.

@Litchi How you getting on with that posh wheel?

Honestly, I love it. It's still hard for me for now to drive with but I practice every days to get used to it.

Back on the race we had wednesday: I was quite surprised that the race started automatically. I wasn't even ready. Hosts usually do this stuff manually asking if everyone is ready before...

yeah I know, apologies. But the whole thing was chaos and late. I did put the start on to give the 10 min qualy

I see that you were browsing FIA GTWC thread few minutes ago. Hope you like the graphics, it took me a while to create all of them + OPs layouts + google documents lol

yeah it looks good mate. I have no clue about all this technology, but top job 👍
only thing I don't like is the rolling start. Never been a fan of it. You can understand in NASCAR as the power is crazy, but GT cars? no sorry lol

 

[Litchi]

Real Blancpain series run rolling starts so we do the same to get close to their rules 👍

I didn't even realise we were doing quali I thought we were still practicing.
