He's doing testing
If its any help, if I remember from previous 3:32's were around Jaguar time and fastest, sometimes dipping into 3:31's and low 3.30's with draft...
Gotta do some practice as I've never run this car on this track before (never driven this track at all, quite different compared to the 2009 version).
Is there a limit to the amount of downforce permitted or do you guys just run full?
EDIT: 1000th post... Wow.

Full is normally best - you gain more overall from cornering than straight line speed and max df doesn't slow it down imo, but lowering the rear df can help increase the speed but car becomes more unstable at exits of corners

I think with mediums 3'28s were being done.
On Hards 3'32s are a good time. 👍

Yeah I figured either there's something wrong with my settings or the Ferrari has a big advantage since I did a 28 on my first lap out. Glad to hear that it's going to be a real race.
Would anyone happen to remember what sort of speed does the Jag reach on the straight?
If anyone is looking for a setup for the Ferrari, PM me and I can share mine.

The Ferrari is strong here as for some reason (Damn you PD *shakes fist*) it has the highest top speed. Ford does 213mph with stock aero, 215-16mph with minimum and 211-12mph with max aero. 👍 Not sure about the Jaguar though, I think Akmuq, who used it last year, said he could only hit 207-8mph. Not sure though.
I'm not actually in this series though, just follow it closely.
Time doesn't work for me.

Had a practice earlier, did a 3.27.6 after crashing a lot of times lol. I think if I had a clean lap a 3.26 is possible oh and top speed of jag with full aero is 209mph.

You guys are doing some fast times. 
I did a ten-or-so lap practice session and got a best of 3'30.2 in the Ford Mark IV. With full df, I was getting 209 mph on the straight every lap.

Just look at the Le Mans thread, absolutely no discussion in there, just saying what's happening on the track, can't say I understand why...
Probably not, and C1.

Its going fine that thread..
Best of luck if you turn out to be Chapparal.
If I were actively commenting on that thread during the race I'd have inserted the "You Don't Say?" meme quite a few times, just saying, last 7 posts in the thread for example.
Toyota currently in 2nd. Going to enjoy it as long as it lasts:
I see Pescarolo AMR -One on track
I know. The internet right here is sooo slow
Yeah mate. According to Dr. Ullrich. 2kg is quite a weight on a race car.
