Hmmm. He probably didn't buy it in the Dealership he probably borrowed it from his profile.

You guys are the best!

Hows everyone doing on those lap times? After another stint last night I have only trimmed another 10th, and getting a 47.7xx on the soft tyre. I am really loving R246 reverse in the Elise, and with no room for mistakes here, the racing should be tight. Short race practice session will be at 8.00pm tomorrow evening. Several 3 lap races with reverse grid, but you all know that already.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

I need to get some laps in.. Will join for the practice tomorrow for sure. 👍

 

[socalspeedfreak]

i was doing 47's on softs as well. back end loves to step out if you're not carefull!!

Below is the set up I have been practicing R246 reverse on. This is loosely based on the real life set up of the same car. It seems to make it a bit more forgiving when coming out of a turn a bit early with the power.

spring
5.5.......7.0

This race will be great, but where to pass? My practice time is 1:46.xxx

 

[GTP_ADE]

..... but where to pass?

The start/finish straight has to be the favorite, but it will be hard to catch any slipstream after the tight left hand turn into it.

 

[Goodwolf]

Yeah that one will bother me too. Also this will be a real test not to run in each other or barriers, even though we are all clean drivers. It's similar to the last track, but longer and with barriers just waiting for you to make a mistake.
I think to be on the safe side, it will be better to leave some room between driver in front and you, after s/f straight, because if he gets into accident you'll be next in line.

 

[GTP_ADE]

...... but longer and with barriers just waiting for you to make a mistake.

This is what we discovered earlier in the week. Even if you just slightly touch the barriers and dont loose it completely, you will still loose roughly 20/25 mph. If the faster drivers are pushing each other hard at the front, this could force mistakes to be made and work out well for those at the back. With times posted so far in the 46's, and some of us in the 47's, this will be an intense race. Tonights practice will determine who the pacesetters are.👍

 

[Cobani]

...Tonights practice will determine who the pacesetters are.👍

And I will not be one of them. I have an obligation tonight which I cannot change. ( Trust me, I tried ... twice.) That means I will miss the most important practice of the season so far.

I've done a few laps which saw me in the 47's, so please no 45's tonight!

No worries mate, I will post the evenings fastest times after the practice, so you can see the competition. 47's are very respectable, and if the front runners are getting low 46's, they will be pushing hard.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

please no 45's tonight!

45.370.. Crappy T2 though.. I have been .5 faster

 

[jamesybograt]

45.370.. Crappy T2 though.. I have been .5 faster

looks like it's going to be a 44 to be pole .but i agree if we can get a perfect lap
a mid 44 or even a 43 is possible .

[Hyper-Dan]

Enjoyed the laps guys.. Was worried in the 1st race after being barged around by Goodwolf.. He couldn't see my car.. Damn you PD

Looking forward to the race tomorrow night 👍

Sorry I missed practice Ade, it slipped my mind and when I got your message I had brought some friends over. But I'm looking forward to the race tonight and hopefully getting a decent finish in what must be my first race in over a month.
