Your going to stroll away I think with tonight. Either I look forward to it. Room opens approx 6.45pm, Race start 7.40pm on the dot. (5 min earlier due to formation lap)

only if i can be consistent. i am worried about me messing up my strategy like i always do . anyone got an idea of how many stops to do?

 

[cgr-10]

If I have time before tonight I may try and grind a '67 ticket for a Chappy.

I've always wondered why the 2D is classed as '67.

 

[Furinkazen]

I reckon I get around 5-7 laps on tyres. So around 5 stops for me. I'm not going to be a victory contender tonight for sure.

Yeah same, it won the Nurb 1000k in '66 and competed at Le Mans in '66 so it's strange.

And I'm pretty sure the car in game is the Nurb one.

 

[Furinkazen]

Yeah just doing some research on that myself...

A reminder C1 and C2 are running seperate championships, so even if a C2 wins overall it won't make a difference to points..

which tyres, mediums or hards?

 

[Furinkazen]

which tyres, mediums or hards?

On mediums. IFIRC you managed 5 laps easy on mediums.

 

[cgr-10]

Is it even worth using hards?

 

[gokartman78]

On mediums. IFIRC you managed 5 laps easy on mediums.

yea, i was testing on my own yesterdat and i managed 8 laps on mediums and they we gone at the end...they were running bald at the end

and on hards i managed 15 laps at a consistent 1:43.0.

Yeah I am. RLM are classic.

 

[rustyMercedes]

whoa that was a weird crash...

 

[Ellis]

C1 is just chap vs jag for the win. Ford and Ferrari can't touch their pace.

I'm not so sure. I know this is Ford's weakest track. C2 will be a good scrap...

 

[DrifterJoe]

If the Chappy can go 15 laps on it's tyres while doing 1:43's, the Jag probably won't keep up in the pitstops. I do 1:43's when saving the tyres on the Jag, but can't go as far on tyres.

EDIT: Jag should have pole.

 

[Chqr]

Can't make tonight. So much work on. Good be good to go next week at Monza.

 

[Furinkazen]

So... who are you tipping for the Class C1 and C2 wins tonight?

 

[Spurgy 777]

1.43s? I might do quite well today then

 

[Akmuq]

My S2 pole was a 41.7, fastest lap was 41.2, in a Jag.

 

[Ellis]

Spurgey to win. He's too sweaty to lose.

 

[cgr-10]

Aaaand i've got it. Sign me up for Team Chaparral 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

2 hr 15 until room opens.
