If he is in my trusty Scuderia I'll be mad cause I wanted to run in that car again this season and that car took care of me so well last season.

 

[phil bell]

you're right mont. But which ferarri?
I can't for today phil, go enjoy v8. I wanna watch bathurst.

Dont say!!!

 

[NEPALII]

I would like to give a try on the Ferrari... Maybe me and MC could get the Ferrari I would like to have you as my teammate.

 

[phil bell]

There are 2 makes of Ferrari in the Championship so perhaps you guy's could request to Tier.
The manufacturers championship would look weird though.

Alien+F430+UselesshunkofjunkthatgoesbythenameofMC+F430 = D.Day.

How am I useless?!

He is just jealous, or angry at you.

[Taiga]

I dunno. I just felt like it. ;P

Anyways. If that ever happened, seriously, I swear you guys will steal the competition.

Why? Also if there is not a update for the LFA to get some aero(or racing softs)I'm going for my trusty F430 next season.
Don't get me wrong I love the LFA but man was it just ridiculous to keep the power down anywhere.

Also what was your best lap yesterday I hit 1:12.4 last night I had the pace to keep up with you guy in the first two sectors but on the straights my weight kept me down. I was slower than the Evora on the back straight.

 

[NEPALII]

I didnt have good laps on the race, i think i hit 1.12.5.

 

[phil bell]

You mean the recent race? My best time was 13.5 but I could control all 4 tires to wear almost perfect.

 

[Taiga]

Heh. That's for you to say, look at where I was. A little gutted, still. Suzuka will be the last chance for me to clinch that overall podium spot.

Idk why but have a hard time hot lapping alone and I seem to go nowhere. Only in the race I can put some fast laps down.

Same with me here. Like in Tokyo, I managed only a 1:42 best. I did a 1:41.2 when I was chasing Widow.

And I'm not saying I put fast laps down because of draft. I'm literally half a lap behind Nepalii and widow. I was catching a second every lap until my tries starting going again.

Don't get me wrong. :/
I know exactly how you feel/ what you're saying. I keep up with them, sometimes get into battles, a la Tsukuba, but start to fall back once the tires wear. Ask them. It's kinda irritating when you know you can catch up, but you just can't sometimes. Probably it works by them staying infront, they motivate us? I dunno...

 

[phil bell]

The Aston tests your pacing,if you push too hard and wear your tires down you pay a huge price for it in the mid and later parts,I had only around 1/2 life left by the time I finished and the way those softs degrade is...Well..

I learnt it the hard way in Tokyo,the harder I tried the more wear I got and the harder it became to keep pace.

Yup and I wish I was there for Tokyo!

The reason this happens is because you guys dont save tires. On the first half of the race, me and Widow dont push the car hard because it has a full fuel tank so it will waste more tires. Go at a steady pace on the first half of the race. After you pit, then you can push harder because the car will be lighter, faster. Thats why on the 2nd half we get away from you guys.

We have to push to stay on pace Nepalii I can follow your exactly and still I won't keep up.

Niop was keeping up with us on the 2nd race yesterday. He finished close to Widow. Maybe it was his strategy.

 

[funkyDucks]

Tire wear isnt my problem I just lack pace no matter how i push.

I have changed my driving style in the last two races. I realized I can push a bit harder and still have some tyres left at the end. Before, I was driving more conservative and consistent. In the second race yesterday I was able to cut the gap from 9 seconds I believe, down to 2.4. But at a cost, I didn't have any more in the tank when you and Widow decided to tap into your reserve power. lol

 

[CAMikaze]

Sorry I couldn't make last night's race, even if I was able to sign up to take part. We had Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene about to hit the area and I had to help with getting the grocery shopping done before the storm hit.

So what you're saying is not to pace too fast in the early half but pick it up in the later half?

 

[The Widowmaker]

Effectively, that's what he's saying.

Thats what me and Widow do. We dont push too much on first half and then after the pits we push more. 👍

I have a very humble question for you. I need help with the Alfa world tour challenge. I literally have a 1:17.046 and can't find that .046 seconds to get gold lol.

 

[phil bell]

I got gold in my old account,no idea how but cracked it on the fourth try..
