Hi Alexis, there is no need for these races. Makes only sense with series and/or mixed races.

In for me ! Haven’t raced here on ACC, so time to get some laps in and a set up sorted.

Don't know if you have yet, but you should try Fri3d0lf's setups. They're free, and you can see a full lap (usefull if you don't know the track, braking points, etc...). They're pretty easy to handle and I use them as a base most of the time, I then adjust the tyre pressure of course, and the aero too. Here's the link :

The last setup is always perfect for our sprint races, and I repeat : really easy to handle (flat out in eau rouge never been this easy)

We are three drivers yet...

4 I thnk, me included

 

[Antonpiou]

So far my best is 1:54.0 witht the 991. I went with 30 psi drys. Haven't tried using 35 psi wets though... (the road was considered damp, by the way)

I had a quick go on the practice server this morning, full wet preset and quite liked the conditions. Sign me up please.

The High Pressure Bug is not more usable, wet tyre pressure are now back to around 30 psi.

So what would be best if the track is too dry for wets but too damp for drys?

Easy - just do the opposite of what I do

Race day guys for the rainy Barcelona! Sign up and prepare while you can!

 

[Rich Green]

Looking forward to it, I haven’t done many wet races. At pit stops does it add to the time to take on fuel?
