By my calculations i don't have to do a pitstop in this race.
I use the lowest boost setting and use the "temporary boost" button to get up to speed.

Well I was just on the practice server with three other drivers ..I followed them ..left lane first, then right, then alternate left-right-left-right ...they all recorded there laps times ..for me nothing.

Works fine offline in a AI race..

I have run out of ideas to try Denis, so you will have to count me out of this race.

Hi @Denis Betty , sign me up on this one (holliday today here). I will give it a try.

I didn't watch you in my mirrors. Did you stay on the left hand side of the banking. When I dropped to the right side my lap time would be disqualified.

Are you saying ..if going left, you must cross the start/finish line left and if you are going right, you must cross the start finish line on the right.

Craig Dunkley · Apr 25, 2019

But then I must be doing it right, because it works offline.

I noticed that my laps didnt get recorded until I had ran around for a little while, not sure its just hitting me with corner cutting or if its a weird issue with the track

pattikins · Apr 25, 2019

That's not the bit I'm on about. I'm referring to banked parts. If you want I'll jump back in to rfactor2 now & show you.

Going below the yellow line counts as a track limits cut. It's going to be interesting in the race with only half the banking available

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I could tell, if you exit the pits in what i understand now to be the correct way (staying right, onto the banking), your first laptime doesn't register until the end of the 2nd complete lap, so 2.5 times around the circuit.
Leaving the pits and heading directly into Curva Grande though (the wrong way apparently), you only need to do 2 complete laps (the usual outlap plus flying lap) before registering a time.

It seems pretty tight in terms of strategy between going balls out on maximum speed and pitting, verses using less fuel to go slower and avoiding having to pit. Could be an interesting case of tortoise vs hare

Well I am 40 mins late

..is it to late for you now? ..either way many thanks for the offer

pattikins · Apr 25, 2019

now is fine.

Craig Dunkley · Apr 25, 2019

k thanks on my way

So is anyone not planning to drive the Sauber? I'm still wondering which car to choose. I like the Porsche more, but it does seem to be a tad slower (about 3 or 4 seconds for me I think) and even with the highest possible setup, it still scrapes on the banking here and there.

Sorry folks, Can't race tonight - shame as it looks fun.

Aw that's a shame.

Thank you for letting us know though.

Victor Jimenez · Apr 25, 2019

I'm sorry guys, but I had to quit today's race and I had to leave the house. See you in the next race

Cosimo · Apr 25, 2019

Thanks Dennis for sharing an excellent setup for the Sauber, I wouldn't have survived in the 962C.
Even more impressive for Marco Antonio to have taken a win in that car, congrats.

After a great call in the pits where I managed to overtake Marco Antonio and obtain the lead, I made a mistake on the exit of Curva Grande, pressing the Neutral button instead of the Temporary Boost one!
I panicked and did multiple 360s, flatspotting my tires

and losing the lead. I wasn't able to ever close the gap to P1, so P2 it was.

Clean and fun racing. I'd love to race these cars again.
