Sorry to hear that, but thanks for letting me know. @thom462, you're in

I can't make it tonight, guys. My spot is available

Looking forward to this tonight... Got a new monitor on friday, the increased peripheral vision will be usefull through the first first sector!

Will the start grid be as per the pic or the usual 2's ?

 

[Reik Major]

silly question: do we use the left pit exit or the right one next to the grass, which binds into the track at the chicane?

I think it's the standard 2 lanes in AC. I hope we all take it easy through the first corners because 40 cars might give a huge traffic jam.

You can use the earliest one.

Have a good race you all

Chris. Maybe I will be late for practice/qualify but in time for the race.

Really struggling with the 650 to get something quick down the straights but stable in the Twisties

 

[Kek700]

I meant to post this a bit earlier, but I made a track guide for this week's circuit as a first foray into the world of Youtube

There are still lots of things that I can improve upon (i.e. maybe using a script next time around ), but if you're having a tough time figuring out a corner or want some general setup guidelines, do give it a watch and tell me what you think
(I was supposed to put this up yesterday but I figured out the hard way that going over a 4 min-lap track as a first video was a pretty rough idea in retrospect)

@Chris Down sadly I will not be able to today's event! Hope to see you all next week!

Best,
Dom

if it were I, i would run 0 , 0 Aero. then try and run a lot of coast on the diff to compensate.
you really do not loose much DF with this combo, ( 60Kg ) @ 180mph, consequently you will gain 4 mph at end of straight, and not carrying that drag too all the way.
Cannot see that it would cause you, at Le Mans, to loose much corner exit speed.

what wing are you running

I've tried 0/1 and 0/0

She just becomes very unpredictable and very sensitive on and off the throttle in the fast turns.

Thanks for this Michael, excellent tips!

Particularly helpful for me was your advice on the first part of The Chicane (the later line and the sausage curb). And I never realised you could drive through those bollards at The Esses into Tertre Rouge, i actually thought they were solid

Thanks again, have a great race tonight
