Another lonely race for me. There seems to be an abyss between the Pro and Am drivers this season and I am right in the middle of it.

Hope next season is closer.
Either you have mad fast lap skills or my setup leaves something to be desired.:guilty: IIRC, you qualified 3 to 5 seconds faster than me. At least I was getting used to the modified final chicane route as the race went on. I'll have to have a look at the replay file later on to see how close the fast lap gap was by time the checkered flag flew.

I was 2.5 seconds faster than you during Quali. And I can't be that fast Cami as I got lapped by Moleman and Jammy.
As I said earlier there is a growing divide between Am and Pro. WSC is not what it was.

With @snowgt 's help I aim to change that.

Disagree. We are 4 GT-O's down last couple weeks. @smuffyatfcp and @R0ssingt0n are easily @snowgt / @Yeratel84 pace, and that is 6 GT-O PRO guys with @Andil as well, oh and @Ninners part time. AM had @Siggers and @chrisjohnson93 leave, @ranhammerR34 is just @ranhammerR34 , and @Mike458 left :(
 
Adam doesn't drive anymore, Yera's always been faster. However one could argue that was down to GT regs, as opposed to current GT-O.
 
The Jag does have the same tire wear as the Ferrari though. And Ford has the pace to make up for it's tire wear.

False.

From what I have seen watching replays Ferrari has far superior tyre wear and at Sierra had a clear straight line speed advantage over the Jag. Specs should have never been changed. If it wasn't broke don't try and fix it.

Set up son, set up. Speed trap wise (and my own testing found this) they are very similar but Ferrari was quicker to get there. Set up can attribute to tyre wear as well.

Oh and Lancer is always OP in the Ferrari, seriously.

We must be running wildly different setups then. My Jag wears tires as well as, if not even better than the Ferrari. It is a little bit slower on straights (as is the Ford) but it's nothing like you're making it out to be, maybe 2-3 mph depending on the straight.

Worth noting that I lapped O'Rama at Sierra...
 
I had to invert settings on my Ford pretty much.


Bottom line guys - I tried something different. This is one of the rare occasions it didn't work. You either nail it or miss the mark. Fact is this was a rare miss.

ToCA excepted, your specs are damn near always bang on. These higher-powered cars just bring out the drivers more. Same goes for GT-O.
 
Said it before Ferarri needs ballast it will therefore be slower on acceleration and higher tyre ware.

Question is, does Furi have the balls to do it?

Worth noting I 🤬 up at Sierra and my first lap was 3 minutes longer than a GT-O's
 
Ferrari has better tyre wear and the Ford has more pace in it. IIRC Lancer did a 58 at Bathurst in the Ford (faster than the Ferrari) so I don't see any reason to nerf for Ferrari imo
This is so true. Furi out Q'd me and Lancer at Silverstone on pure pace. He just needs more consistency :(
 
*4 :P I also didn't know my way around Sierra until about an hour in, in which case you had made up most of the time on me


Hence consistency. Wouldn't be surprised if you're on pole again this weekend

Wishing I had that set up for Bathurst. RBR I might sneak up there, and Le Mans - won't roll over and lose my crown that easily.
