Hi GTfreak - I'm sorry if I've put this poll in the wrong place, I don't know where to send it. Please let me off as this is the first time I have ever, ever used a forum, having only just turned 15.
Could you tell me where to put my poll?
 
I think he put ignore for his post because he either posted to the wrong place, or decided to remove what he said. I don't really mind your posts in writeups because you do put a writeup at the end of the thread after the race is ran. There are far more off-topic threads here, but your still seems to be on topic.

Also, GTFreak, I agree with you on the Ariel Atom, that is one awesome ride.

O.K. Sorry I've been harsh to you. Guess you saw my post before I put ignore there. :embarrassed:

It's very hard where to put the thread. I've had a think and here is the best place because you can do a write up after your race, agreeng with dhwebb. I'm still learning how to properly use forums myself as this is the first forum I've posted to (I'm 14).
I should learn to forgive new members a bit more easily. Sorry I've given you a bad start to the forum world. Forgive me. :indiff:

I'll vote in your poll and give you any help if you need it. :D

dhwebb, I'm glad you agree about the Ariel Atom! :drool:

Hi GTFreak

That's quite OK. I'm happy now and understand your misunderstanding.

Can you recommend me any strategies for my race on Saturday? eg. pitstops.

And also encourage any one else you talk to to vote on my poll?
I'll post the write up next Monday morning and discuss my Team Volvo's chances later this week.

Thanks again for your apologies.

Ali.
 
Alistair I've posted a post in the General GT4 Discussion thread to make people vote in your poll or help you. Fingers crossed they'll come.

What Volvo are you using?

I hope you win.:)[/QUOTE

Thankyou for your kindness and I too hope that we can be competitive.

I am using an S60 for this championship. It's a very long one, spread over 33 rounds. They're structured like the TOCA championships, eg:

Rounds 1 & 2 = Nurburgring Nordschliefe
Rounds 3 & 4 = Circuit De La Sarthe (Round 3 is on unchicaned course, round 4 on chicaned course)

And so on.
I'll post the full calendar tomorrow.
The strategies I am to run are taking up most of my time at the moment. Last night I spent two hours with my calculator running pit stop times, distance calculations, and pages and pages of "alternate strategies. I've finally come up with an aggressive three stop strategy, and switch it to a two or a four depending on my opposition.
Does any one have any different ideas? I would really like to hear them, also, sorry for the confusion yesterday when I wrote "I've only just turned 15." That was a slip of the keyboard, I am actually 16. Sorry!

By the way the poll entitled: "What do you think my B- Spec result will be tomorrow?" Should be offline now as it relates to the Nurburgring race at the weekend. The relevant poll for this coming Saturday is: "Where do you think Volvo will finish at Le Mans?" or something like that.
Finally, does anyone know if you can change the fuel level you start your race on, so that you can start light and switch your strategies that way?

Keep voting in the Volvo Racing poll!

Ali.
 
You only start the race with full fuel I'm afraid. I think you stratagie is O.K. 👍
