That is a fast time. Just had another quick session, and managed a 45.7xx on the medium. I keep missing my braking point for turn 1, and can see where there is more time to come at other turns on the track. I didnt have enough time to have another try on the hards.
 
yea ADE turn one and your braking points are very important to the lap time. if i keep this up i'll be at a 1:37.9XX by sunday!! :cool:

j/k but i do think there are a few more tenths on a perfect lap.

Just did a 43'6, I think 42's should be possible, but I think 44's for me to keep it safe.
 
that venom gt is sweet!! 👍

fyi did a 42.2 last night!!! where the 🤬 did that come from.

no way i could keep that up for the race so hoping 44's will keep me at the front. its on sunday!

Niiiice!!! :gtpflag:

Did my first laps at Fuji just before dinner.. 10 laps on the hard tyre and best was a 45.878.. Will try a few on the Med tyre in a bit. :)
 
That is a really sick car!

Looks like everyone getting fast lap times 👍. I manage a 1:47 on meds Sunday will be very interesting for me......:crazy:
 
Changed my car colour combo Ade and sent you a new pic via psn message 👍

Had a short stint with the med tyre and did a 43.101 on lap 7.. Keeping the tyres alive for longer will be my problem :scared:

:cheers:

I think that this will upset some drivers tyre strategy's. Those who start on the hard, and pit to change after the mandatory 6 laps, may find they need 2 stops. I think that 18 laps on the medium will be a tall order.:scared:

The pit strategy will be interesting for sure.
 
Well, a few more laps tonight and my time is down to 1:44.6xx. Fairly happy with that. Not as fast as the Aliens, but should learn a bit more at Saturday short race practice.
 
Few more laps this morning.. Best lap on the hard tyre now 44.9 and 42.4 on the med tyre.. I think 41's are defo possible in the race. 👍
 
So after finishing up my way over due race report tonight, I did a full race simulation ...
I only did 44's and 45's on my mediums with the hard compound giving me a 46 at best with regular 47. Not good at all given the championship standings and the fast times posted. (and not even all the front runners times are known)

I'm not gonna make final practice, so those times will be interesting.
But with the Elise giving me so little grip, I'm just gonna fully enjoy raceday and see where I end up.

Oh and about tyrewear and the strategy, don't ask, it's not pretty. :)
 
Ran a few laps in free run and did a few low 45's on the hard tyre.. Had just started a full race simulation when my bloody internet went down. :( Hope it's up again soon.
 
Tomorrow is race day, and the grid looks set to be one of the busiest we have seen. Tonight is short race practice. For those who havnt raced with us yet, this consists of several 3 lap races with reverse grid from previous race. These races are an excellent way to check out the competition, and get a feel for the car with others on track. We will use both compounds of tyre in these races, although not in the same race. I will open the room at 8.00pm BST tonight.

Hope it's up again soon.

So do I..
 
Just did a full race run.. It went quite well :)

Did a 44.799 and lots of mid 45's on the hard tyre run, then swapped to the med tyre and didn't push it like crazy as wanted to make the tyres last.. Best lap was 42.9 with mostly mid 43's. Looking forward to the race tomorrow 👍

Hey ade, how often does the practice fill up? I hope to be there later on. Also i'm assuming this will be in your private lounge?

Hey, we always get quite a few turn up. Yes it will be in my private lounge. After the practice I will post everyones fastest times taken from the replays.
 
Goodwolf
Hi guys see you tonight. I'm starting to get into high 44s.
Click to expand...

See you at practice Goodwolf. My best to date is a 44.6xx. Room will be open from 7.30pm if anyone wants to arrive early. Would be good to see some of the reserves tonight.
