[Bas Kriesels]

Guido sign me up! Hope to make it for the first race/quali. For sure will be able to join the second one!

 

[Guido Trampe]

Yes Bas. Added.

So a quick headsup for everyone. The P1 is still it's buggy self, you get two or three laps with good grid and then the tyres just give up. DRS works everywhere but doesn't give you much of an advantage after some testing and the chances of loosing grip in high speed corners is even higher.

Haven't tested the P1's tyres yet with the X2 tyre wear we use but it will probably be quite a challenge to drive.

I only tested in timetrail where your tires dont wear off. I will let the car surprise me. For me the immersion factor (thats what I am looking for most in Simracing) is the best in the closed, beautiful moddeld P1. And he, its November, cabrio’s are stored now

 

[Guido Trampe]

And… I did a 1.23 high with the P1. The combo is great I think. Although overtaking could be difficult

 

[Lloyd Johnston]

What's your time with the MetalMoro MRX Duratec Turbo P2?

I don't think it's that fast. @Guido Trampe

 

[Guido Trampe]

I skipped that one after a few laps, Was significantly slower but also not at al close to the limit. Liked the P1 better and focussed on that one. But if @The Almighty Snark is correct and the P1 tyres collapse after a few laps. Then the Hotlap speed will be quite irrelevant. Tonight will prove what is the better choise. Anyone else tried this class in Timertrail yet?

I was, or would have been around 1.5second slower with the Duratec turbo in time trial default setups.
The default duratec understeers more than P1. Haven’t tried P1 tire wear.

P1 DRS seems to make more difference at the higher gears straight line speed and not much at lower speed straights

send you DM, let me know if you received

 

[Guido Trampe]

@all. I made ****up with timing and adjsuted it. We will start at 19:30 UTC so 20:30 CET.
So one hour later then previously mentioned. I would have been at dinnertable at that time

 

[Kek700]

No , not received.
Does it begin with B ?

 

[Lloyd Johnston]

Does it begin with B ? - yes

Did a 15 lap race last night at Brands Hatch against the AI and the P1 was significantly slower for what it's worth. Top speed is lower for the P1. I think it can win on the corner exits at best.

 

[Guido Trampe]

What laptimes did you do? How were the tyres of the MetalMoro after 10 laps?

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Hmm something went wrong, I guess I didn't reply correctly? But I'm in Guido. sign me up, please.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Sorry guys but what time do we start 18:30 or 19:30 UTC?? The DM says 19:30. This topic 18:30????

Don't mind!

Don't mind!

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Don't mind!

Sorry chap. Only just seen this. I think we are going to be starting in a few minutes and since you know the password you can probably still join if you want as it doesn't look like we have anywhere near a full house

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Great combo @Guido Trampe! Enjoyed racing both cars as they had very different characteristics, but my times were pretty similar between the two in the end. Tried my best to catch @Munkyboo, but you were just way more consistent than me.

Sorry for going wide and probably breaking your rhythm @The Almighty Snark - if you don't get on the power early enough in that MRX it doesn't half punish you
