Hi Andrew,

2h 30m to room open for qualifying! I'll be sending the room password on here via private message to everyone.

 

[GT6champNK_69]

How do I enter the room?. Nothing is showing up. Do I have to create lobby?

 

[andrew1990]

Room will be up in 45 minutes.

 

[andrew1990]

The room is up with details in the PM I've sent out to those who have put their names down. Qualifying has started!

 

[MightyL]

Nice clean driving but kinda lonely with only 2 LMP1 contestants...

 

[andrew1990]

Agreed. Once you checked out on me it was lonely as well. Options are try and get more LMP or make it all GT2 so we all have people to race with. I don't want to do the latter quite yet as blasting through Eau Rouge next week in the 919 should be great fun.

 

[hobbsy]

I forget how quick those LMP1's are... sorry if I got in your way, it was not intentional. Was focusing hard first half trying to do my best to keep @gt6champnk69 behind me.

There was a close shave with one of you guys, felt like a low flying aircraft flying by

 

[andrew1990]

No worries! I think we all did very well on both sides. More of the same at Spa next week please

Can't wait we'll done to all, I need to remember to take more fuel next time had to pit

 

[andrew1990]

And need to remember that race setup needs to be applied before the end of qualifying!

 

[MightyL]

looking forward to spa!

I really think the GT3 shouldnt bother too much about the LMP's. Most of you were a bit overpolite. just hold your line and tackle your corner as you would do. it's up to us LMP's to get around...
the difference in speed is so freaking lovely

 

[GT Flaw]

Did anyone do much setup work on their car?

 

[andrew1990]

Did anyone do much setup work on their car?

A little, but the 919 is pretty solid even in its stock form I find.

 

[hobbsy]

I just spent about an hour to make sure tyres were lasting. I went with softs, and at stock they were cooking quite easily.

Think I may have dropped gear ratio too as didn't get near topping out.
