Not bad consistency in the 2nd stint, considering its my first session since installing the loadcell 👍

So basically someone has to get in front of you in that Scooby and try and slow you down a bit at the start of the race, otherwise you'll probably drive off into the distance

I'm hoping that my Mustang has the pace to be a complete pain with it's straight line speed. Just have to mug you at the 1st corner.

Sounds like a classic..." sorry missed my brake marker" moment!

Yeah if the Mustang or Supra for example is near me on the start, the run into T1 will be very interesting

 

[Geo_kbc]

Maybe I can try to lose my braking point in T1.
Sorry bro...

@Standard_FV do you know if you can make the race Friday mate or shall I offer it to the first reserve? Please let me know! 👍

@Winnik999 be on standby mate.

 

[QTip8329Wags]

I'll stay in the GR Supra, but my racing number will be changed to 110 to reflect my livery for the series.

Ok mate. Very nice!!

 

[El_Beardo]

Does anyone fancy a final shakedown at Catalunya on Thursday evening/night?

 

[Lazybike]

I'll try and make it, got a time in mind?

 

[paoloevans]

Lucazade007 is 50/50 whether he can make Round 1 on Friday. Again be ready reserves!

 

[El_Beardo]

I'll try and make it, got a time in mind?

8:30, or 9:30pm UK time. Depending on my hours. I'll update Wednesday morning, at the latest.

I'll try and be there 👍

 

[HoonigaN96]

I should be able to make that

 

[QTip8329Wags]

Hope to see everyone there. Might forget while practicing for the WRC 7 Tour de Corsa event.

 

[Geo_kbc]

Sooooo, what about tonight?

 

[El_Beardo]

Sooooo, what about tonight?

I would. But, I won't be home until 20:45. Need to eat, and finish my Celica passenger seat, to GT Sport chair conversion.

If this Little Dude isn't asleep in it again . .

 

[El_Beardo]

I've got a sneaking feeling I may be dead last, and getting lapped by a certain Scooby driver.

Ran a test session last night, and was averaging mid 49's at Catalunya. 47's a few days ago.

I need to get a good few hours practise tomorrow, and Friday morning.

 

[Lazybike]

There's an update tomorrow, chances are they'll be a physics tweak, and the usual buff/nerf, can't see the scooby getting nerfed though

It needs a slight (1-2%) power increase, if anything.

 

[Lazybike]

Sshhh

Looking at the entry list there's plenty of good players there!

Am I right in thinking it's going to be one stop for tyres and no fuel? I did half race distance but forgot to check fuel.

 

[andrew1990]

Looking like a one stop race, but how long you spend in the pits will depend on how thirsty your car is!

 

[Lazybike]

Oh ok...guess I'll be fuel saving then, I'll give it a try in Thursday's practice.

 

[Lost Sheltie]

My predictions for the podium:

1. @RZQSPEED (Supra should be hard to overtake)
2. @HoonigaN96 (Subaru is too slow to overtake on main straight)
3. @Tassie_tiger (Beetle has too high fuel consumption and struggles in a straight line)

Of course there are a number of dark horses out there as well, and those 3 drivers could easily swap positions (and all it takes is one mistake to completely change the result), but that is who I am putting my money on.

Of course, maybe I am just putting psychological pressure on them and then I will snatch victory when they aren't looking

 

[RZQSPEED]

1. @RZQSPEED (Supra should be hard to overtake)

I'm gonna need some practice with that thing at Catalunya!

 

[Lazybike]

@Lost Sheltie Lol...no-ones falling for your psychological games , you're no slouch! I expect some good battles all through the field.

I am around your pace mate.

Managed to switch a shift at work. Final shakedown at 9pm UK time tomorrow?
