Eh, I'm a maybe man, I don't know if I'll make it back at home in time, it's carnival, that's the reason

It's MINI Friday so you can casually park your car along side the track to grab for a drink @Lars Hansen

No matter how casual it might be, I doubt I'll be allowed to fall asleep at the wheel.

Nothing is as cozy as sleeping with your head on the airbag

Keep signing everyone up. I'd know in the day really, depending on how my work schedule permits. Usually 20:00 GMT are doable for me as I already done my work hours.

Tell you what? Sign me in, Bram, I'll figure out a way to get there, even though I won't get qualify laps in most likely, I'll just use the Hometown Driver factor here

Set-up??
It's GSC Minis.

You can change the rear wing, and the tire-pressure, and that's it.

@Bram
I missed last training, so I've not graduated it yet. This Thursday I'm going to partincipate in a new one in R3E. By now, I don't know if I'll have any free time at Wednesday, but F3 tempts me.

I would prefer the 80 minute format, at least in Race07 60 minutes were to easy to do without pit stop, with 80 minutes the tank was to small for the amount of fuel required, as far as I remember, haven't done at race in GSC though.

There's still weight and tire wear.
Don't know how much of a difference it makes for the Mini, tho.

Thanks for the sarcastic tag

@Bram but the races are too long for me. With my old disabilities I wouldn't be able to last that long. My Arthritis hurts bad enough after a 20 minute race these days.
Cheers
Andy

Can be managed, question is whether you are quicker than with doing a pit stop

.

For me it was never an option, I am not that good at managing tires.

@Dave Stephenson your arse is main target

I'll be sure to make sure you get a good hairy view for the entire race

Just ran a test race (well, wrecked in lap 5) and oh boy, why can't i join easy club races for once?

That right, right, left section leading to the last bend ... no clue how to take that fast without the danger of getting on the gras (which leads to a spin without any chance of catching) and for some weird reason my tires always smoke like crazy even when i only hit the brakes very gently.
I think i lose 5 tenths there alone

"when in doubt go flat out "
Haven't been in the minis for quite a while but I remember that at high speed lift-off oversteer is a bit thing. Two things if there is a coast settings put it higher than one and second never completely take foot from acc, even when braking keep it pressed 5-10%

Thanks for the tag, would love to but working that night

I guess the second right is the issue? Get earlier on the break than you think and I need to release the break before turning in (at least that was my main issue).
