Room open in 3 hours, Q start in 4. Although the room will be open 10-15 min late today(Q will still start at the same time).I'm in too, and so is TeamdbwHow many hours time?
I'm absolutely gutted at my driving today, couldn't settle down at all after t1 of the race.
I'll give it a go sometime this week and hopefully wont fall asleep in the Sauna again. Or disconnect or freeze in the pits or get rammed or crash off track, etc.

So Lewis Hamilton's 2013 1:29 is out of reach... We'll see. Maybe the Lotus is fast enough, only being 10 secs lap faster than its real life counterpart.
.. I certainly did not have the pure speed to get pole or win with a 5 stop strategy as @RacingLine was setting constant sub 1:12 laps. I started on softs and had a good battle with @DrAug for first stint and pitted a lap later than him at lap 9. Continued to lap 18 to get mediums out of the way..
. Or worse you might miss another race .
30.8 is faster than I've gotten thus far, managed about an hour of tweaking this morning hoping to be able to break 1:30 on empty tank with new tires but have only been full fueling it so far I may not ever see sub 1:30 but will have to try some different things hopefully I dont waste my time..... Is that the same setup from the summer arty? Anyways there seems to be some different settings that work well, I did a lot of tweaking and kept coming up with the same sector times so there does seem some variety. toe out doesn't seem to do jack at Silverstone unlike at Tokyo & Nurburgring. 1:28 seems far fetched at 1:31 your already top speed around several of the turns poor Lotus drives like the Red Bull RB6 or F10 did in GT5 with low top speed super high downforce. GT5 seemed almost a bit more realistic I think PD wanted the 97T to be appealing and having low downforce like the real thing would kinda make it unappealing maybe. Immortal still hated it though.In today's test I just posted a full fuel 1.30.8 with mistakes (fastest sectors 1.30.3) so I reckon mid 29s looks reasonable for pole now... we even speculate that a 28 is possible which would be incredible given that is the kind of speed the full powered Lotus F1 can do... but you know the boys at RTRacing, where there's a will there's a... get out of my wayyyy!
p.s. don't be disheartened, the setup I used for 30.8 is the RT one in the tuning forum with minor tweaks because we're running less power... vote for it if you've not already

If @Chris Kelley doesn't make the next race, you can join his team.
