So im guessing if were on inters during the race, and the water level drops below 25% we have to change back to sports hard?

Great racing guys. I'm really happy with the 1. 2. finish for team Pirate 👍 Well done Tony.
Going into the race I had 2 tunes, 1 dry and 1 rain. Last time in FMSC I picked the faster dry tune and had one of my worst races ever when it rained.
Just before the race I decided to split the difference and make my tunes setting 70% rain, 30% dry.
I never got to test the setup but it felt great up to 76% surface water. After that it was a little mad.
Got a much better start this time and was quickly out run by Tony. After we all pitted on lap 3 for rain tires I came into the pits in second place, came out way behind second in third. I can say I always have a slow pit stop at SPA. Not sure why or how... The game must just hate me.
I was able to make the gap to Safety-_-car and used my plan A:
Sit in someone's draft, then make a run for it in the last few laps.
I was able to keep up with him up to around 73% surface water, then I was using the draft as the solo reason I was still keeping pace. I was really bad on the track boundary for a few laps when my car felt like it was sitting on ice. I couldn't see the corner exits as I was riding Safety's bumper. He defiantly was faster.
Then the rain stopped. Not sure what happened but my car felt great. I could finally see the track and it had a perfect balance between over and understeer. I'm not sure why but it looked like Safety was losing grip in his rear tires. I made a break for it. Suddenly I had some speed over safety and pulled a gap. I saved the tires just a little bit just incase.
Great race all.

Anyone have any times for GP/D?
Hi guys... Here is my short review of the race.
I warmed up tires really good and started great. I got nasty hit on the start but managed to catch up leaders by going through Eau Rouge madly quick. By the end of the lap i managed to pass 2 drivers and i was second, but in 3rd lap, rain got to me, and i pressed gas pedal to long and my car went right in left corner ( s corner) Then i tried to catch up but made few more mistakes. After pitstop the same situation continued. Later Petros cought me, and i went again to pits. My car got into slide and on the grass. And what happened? I got stuck in the barrier for about 5 seconds. However i got out, fresh tyres and i ws 1:30 behind Supersic. Until finish was driving quite fast, but again with few mistakes, and managed to finish 1:08 behind Supersic. My tactics were superb, but as i made mistakes, it didn't pay off...

I'm did a test and tune session and my lap times were all over the place. I don't think I'm getting much out of the car and ran a personal best of 1:39.00X. I going to guess a 37 would be a good time?

Hi guys. I'm sorry to not being very active here this week.
This is especially due to my new roommates. I now live with Lau Wai (from China), Patri (from Andorra) and Pierre (from France). The chinese girl doesn't speak french and the 2 others don't speak english. So i have to translate all in French for Patri and Pierre and all in english for Lau Wai. Plus, I have to show them the city and lot of stuffs. Really busy you see...
Anyway, i'll quali tomorrow night
