Great grid size for tonight guys - if you can please join the Discord voice channel, most of us use it.

Also, a wee heads up, in this car on this track you have a choice to make with gear ratios: the highest final ratio (best acceleration) will top out at around 109mph before the braking zone for T1. In the twisty sections you'll be a bit quicker, just to lose it in a straight line.

The next setting down from that will give you 4 or 5 mph higher before hitting the brakes - I was comfortably able to make up 4 car lengths compared to 100% AI at end of the straight. But, in the rest of the track you'll be fighting off other cars that have a bit more acceleration. Doesn't really matter if you get passed though, you'll sail past them before the finish line.

The choice, is yours!

happy to hear that, I tough you got angry and rage quit after I draft bumped you, but indeed, it seemed you went straight on the 1st turn, what a pity, it was realy fun that middle pack battle that we had all around. GR!

Indeed I did embrace my apexes, on the last lap had some extra love on the insides, I think I have not overdone, the twisty session is kinda difficult to pass and slick (full of sand) and the 'not fixing my position' is actually intentional, I need to make it difficult to you ;p, in this chess, if in the last turn you take the outside you would have it, seems I toke you by surprise when I sticked in the inside in the last turn hehe, great racing, mega fun this event overall.

I was way quicker though look how much time I made up... on a straight with a faster car behind and draft you have to accept the inevitable... yeah defend on corners but when you move to block on straight sections that getting a bit out of order to be honest. You're very lucky you didn't end both our races.

In the last corner I just continued in the inside, was my unique chance, you assumed I would open(and I made you think that), I didn't. If you go outside, I would not cross your path and send you to gravel, but that would make you move about 50% more difficult, which is my intention ;p

You knew the only way to hold the position was to block me. Your line into the corner should have created a wide exit. My line was setup to cut inside. If I had gone wide youd had take me out. It should have been a drag to the line and the fastest driver would've got the position fair and square. That's clean racing that we are here for.

I think 1 block (or car position change) between corners is allowed, l did see a few doing a fair bit of weaving to break the draft?

Yep, and thats fair enough in my book, but if another car is approaching much quicker than your speed, you shouldn't deliberately position your car to block the pass. Defending an undefendable situation is the way i see it, especially if the car behind has made up 10 seconds to catch you. For me I'd rather let them go and try and use them to drag me forward, or follow and learn how they are much quicker. I suppose you have to know when you're beaten and accept it. Just my opinion of course.

First a big thankyou for running these combos Mark and opinions are to be respected, l hadn't watched your stream until after l posted. I've just watched my 1st saved race from your cockpit and yes their were a few blocks between corners which is not fair racing and weaving to kill slip stream. The chap in front wasn't slow so l don't think he should have to yield as it is a race but of course is should be fair. Just my opinion, respect and peace out. What's the next combo? How do you feel about having a fixed default combo? Would have to be a stable car choice, l believe some do exist.
