[Dean Hyde]

sorry but i'm going to have to drop out tonight

 

[Bart Matyja]

I hate to make a small grid even smaller but the Space X launch is happening mid way through the race.
But if they postpone it (quite likely atm due to weather) I would still love to join if possible.

 

[tazza1986]

[Patrick Wright]

Messed with my setup (rookie mistake) adjusted stuff that caused tyre overheating across the fronts.

Brakes overheating and got punctures on my front right and rear right causing me to need a pit stop.

My fuel strategy hadn't been adjusted since I started with a full tank so added 50 liters so was back to full fuel again...

The whole thing for me was just screwed and to cap it all I spun chasing the guys ahead and lost 15 seconds so I sacked it off

Sounds like you closed the brake ducts, which is the air intake that cools your brakes and tyres.

I think I closed them off 1 too much at the front.

But that was just 1 of a myriad of problems.

But that was just 1 of a myriad of problems.

I used 1 only at the back, because I can't make them green otherwise and because I usually use more front brake bias. I think the front was at 3 or 4. can't remember.

I usually have them at 2 or 3 depending on front brake bias and how heavy the track is on big braking events.

Whilst there aren't really many big braking events at Brands, you're seemingly on them quite regularly meaning they rarely have time to cool.

However, lesson has been learnt.

I'm also not great at that track (Racing driver excuse#1)
