R.S.01 Trophy. Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. 90 minutes.

[John G]

There is. I'll drop you on the list. Brave man, with a little over 24 hours to go

Great thank you!!
I did the daily at Spa last week so know which way the track goes, tho i need to buy me a Renault . And i don't mind finishing last, as long as I've had a good race (it suits me to have no expectations!! )

I'll try to put together a suitably amateur livery tonight

I guess I should do a practice run to familiarize myself again with the car and track. Don't mind me when I call T1 hell corner and Raidillon the dipper I can't stop racing over that mountain. It's such a tease, finish flag after the 3 lap warm up 90 minutes continuous is gonna feel so good!

See.... Nurburgring .

Make sure you get the GrX and not the Gr3 .

This is generally my view on things, too. I'm hoping for a top 5 finish. Hopefully I'll be less lonely in this race, than my last one at Catalunya.

Hope it all went well, mate. What sort of times was everyone running?

You arn't lonely when yer slow in an endurance race. You know eventually you will get to see everyone again when they lap you . I remember at Catalunya I think it was @DelboyD kept me company for a couple of laps after he lapped me . The race at Brands in December should be good. It's a smaller track so I'll get to see people more often .

 

[Chevy Heavy]

I was in the 1:17-18 range and Drex was a little quicker. He ran a best lap @ high 15 but I think that was with drafting me.

 

[Drex124]

Chevy was the only one to show up, so what he said. Generally I ran in the low to mid 16s, with a very rare high to mid 15. So hopefully I'll be keeping up with you, occasional offtrack exploration not withstanding.

It's a shame that Top Gear test track from gt5 isn't in GT Sport. That would be great fun in an endurance race.

The Samba bus race there was hilarious with the AI

Wreckfest Figure 8 anyone?

I'm thinking about live-streaming the race. Get ready to enjoy hearing me sound like I am in a submarine, and potato video quality.

 

[NoStopN]

This is why I use Inkscape.

Way less techy stuff to scare me away

Inkscape is too techy for me. It's not that I'm not tech savvy, but I don't know WTF most of those options do.

And the rest of us will prepare to see you as you pass us time & again.

Can't complain about guaranteed screen time.

...and the Brands grid isn't full yet (11/16)!

It will be pretty hard to do that, to be honest. In the last practice session, @Bivittavus88 and @Pigems were about a second behind me in terms of best lap time, so they're definitely going to be on my tail for a good while.

During the practice session I was in @VulcanSpirit set the fastest lap, so I would imagine he'd be up there too .

Indeed I did... and eventually broke the 2:15 barrier:

Completed another practice session of my own last night (90+ minutes). Still had a few errors and penalties, but starting to get consistency on worn Mediums and lighter fuel loads. Really looking forward to tonight's race, especially on the back of my last FIA meeting. Not guaranteeing anything, but the signs look promising.

 

[Pigems]

What time is the race today? How many hours from now?

Edit: Never mind, it’s in the OP. 4pm my time.

@Mistah_MCA How empty was your tank the other day when you set that 14.x time?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Should be a good race between Vulcan and Mistah for the win, the fight further back will be interesting too. The people fighting for 3rd who are quick on low fuel qualifying runs are not necessarily the same as those who are best on long runs, the slipstream should keep people together too so it will be a really interesting race.

 

[DelboyD]

2:15s! My best is a mid 2:16.

 

[John G]

2:15s! My best is a mid 2:16.

I think i was just in your lobby but my missus came home got lunch just when you started the race
My best was only a 2:17 something (opt 2:16) but that was flat out, I'm probably on a high18 race pace.

I also found a livery with 44 already on the air intake!! But i can't add a big AM sticker to the back of it to warn the quick guys

That was you! Nice one.

Our practice times in that lobby were pretty close.

I’ll FR you when I log on later

 

[John G]

Yeah i was getting a bit quicker chasing down your time
Getting braver keeping it flat out. The last one to master is the tricky right onto the long back 'straight' - managed it once!

 

[El_Beardo]

Sorry for not checking in much last night. Not having the greatest week as far as mental health goes. Looking forward to chilling out with this race.

Going to be an interesting battle for third, I think. My quali pace isn't the greatest, historically. But, I'm not too bad on long runs.

Banging out laps at Spa is good for mental health! Looking forward to trying to keep up with you later.

Update to my livery in time for the race. Thanks to @Maninashed for the awesome decal on the hood

I feel you there mate. Tragic week for me. Looking forward to some decompression provided I remember to show up at the right time. Still had basically 0 practice.

 

[Pigems]

@Bivittavus88 I hope you’re feeling better soon man!

I’ve got a practice lobby open for anyone interested.

I should probably get in there to see if rebuilding the database helped my connection.

 

[Sven Jurgens]

I hope you don't have any minimum SR requirements for the room cause currently I'm between SR.E and SR.D. Saturday morning on the mountain is going as expected

 

[VulcanSpirit]

If anyone's looking to find more pace before the main event, I highly recommend this official lap guide by Jimmy Broadbent. I know that he uses the Gr.3 Supra, but Jimmer's approach to each lap - along with his tips on braking points, lines and cornering speeds - helped me improve a lot when I did the Daily Cs a few weeks back.
