I'm not going to be racing tonight, sorry.
 
No idea why my tires went away so much faster than anyone else's.
Maybe it's because I don't have improve body rigidity installed? :confused:
 
One hell of a race. Q had 5.6 in GT-P separated by 0.6, and 10 GT-O cars separated by 1.4 seconds. Pleased to come 3rd, Ford tyre issues meant I couldn't push but being right on pace with Mole and Jammy certainly boosted my confidence. GT-O lead lap cars (6 of them) at end must have had barely 20 seconds between them, truly excellent.

@BRRT_Angel I hope you liked what you saw.
 
That was bloody tough, concentrating for 2 hours with a wheelspinning GT-P (Furi likes this) is really tiring. Really need to work on setup because this car is horrible to drive really, constantly coasting through corners waiting and waiting to get on the power.

I did an extra stop - in hindsight I should have gone to 40min stints rather than 30min, wasn't that much longer - but I haven't done a GT-P race before so wasn't sure how well the tyres would hold on, so went for the cautious route.

Great great battle with Jammy though, different strategies but worked out ok.

Coming into the last pit stop, Jammy and I were nose to tail for lap after lap but I couldn't really find a way through without it being super risky. My strategy was to go another 10mins to do another 30min stint, but on his out lap I saw he got held up, so I went in the lap after and switched to a 40min final stint. Sure enough I gained the position through the pit stops which was key really - from then on the gap varied from 2 to 4 seconds for the last 40mins, was so tough just focussing on not making a mistake, great pressure and great race 👍

I enjoyed trying to chase you down as well early on :lol:

Yeah I don't really know what was going on there, I just couldn't deal with the rear tyres even at 8/8, so my pace was pretty bad. But come the end of the race running on 7/7 rears it was totally fine. Me no comprende.

Just didn't have the pace tonight as after around an hour I was already a lap down after a few small errors, then pushed a bit more towards the end and crashed a few times, did manage 1 1:22 which was a .997.
 
To be honest, even I was surprised by a podium. If everything had gone the same way, but I hadn't made some of the errors I did, I could've just held on for the win.
 
Oh, and whilst my car got lighter than it'd ever been before, meaning it got quite frightening under braking, and much faster cars were closing in on me, my controller decided to dump out, meaning I had to quickly jump for the charging cable with 17 minutes to go.

That's why I always ensure I have a fresh one at the race start.
 
When I saw Andil going to pit after 30 min I was little suprise by that. I really try to push fast laps - mayby to much as I spun 3 times in same corner and that cost me few second that I might have against Andil 3 pitstops. After pitstops we (Andil and me) had really close race at the end. Nice statics on last pitstop to get ahead me.
Ferrari is still ok when rear tire are 7 but after that it's get more rear happy and you need to more carefull.
Really enjoy the race.

Our tyres hit 4 or 5. Count yourself lucky.
