Guys,

Please have a look: https://www.racedepartment.com/thre...ionship-mugello-mon-6th-february-2023.254897/

Too many great races going on for me to keep up (in more ways than one!).

Unfortunately I can't make 6th anyway.

 

[L4de]

Mazda#72 please.

 

[homer1007]

MX5 please, number Sainz 55 if available.

I haven't run around this track before, the banked sections in VR are something else, after 20mins practise my neck was starting to ache from tilting my head. May need to get down the gym before the next race and shape up a little

 

[gearwhine]

The other 36 please Han for me

Really struggling to improve on my third lap. Either I am crap here, very likely, or there is no time here.
So I am going to assume this is going to be a very close race for the Mazdas and also going to assume the Abarths will be quickest and all grouped together. Maybe not lap time, but keeping the lead across the start finish line.
I can see we're all the time is, but massive understeer makes the chicane pot luck.
I am sure our Aliens will do their best to amaze me again with their pace, and prove the above a load of rubbish.

I have a good idea now what decent pace for the Mazda is but haven't been on at the same time as the Abarth yet.

This should be an interesting race with lots of back and forth between the classes.

 

[Kek700]

Abarth please Han.

 

[gearwhine]

That damn chicane, it kills me every lap. I cant see it until i am right on it. Might help if i darken the thing maybe. I will be happy to follow lines and maybe keep up

Keep an eye out for the 200m board on the right and start to turn in at that point, look out for the flash of yellow.

Thanks, i was turning at around 150m.

I can get the Abarth to fly though the first chicane, that is we’re the problems then start.
Trying to get it turn fot the exit chicane is the real problem.

Sign me up please Han. Thanks

Sounds like you need to practise the Scandi Flick some more

Which shouldn't be too hard with this "rotaty car" a.k.a "the Bitch Ass Propeller"

@HF2000 I don't think this is a good track to test 3 off tracks for a drive through. I haven't had a single off track in practice so far and I have been (accidentally) trying.

 

[Dzul]

I concur with Doug... at some corners I've gone very wide... like 'mexican wide' and still don't get track limits. I mean, no "red laptime" at all. It's witchcraft!

Okay, probably not for the track limits here but the penalty for collisions with other cars should work, I hope. We will see. And otherwise on a different track later. It's just in the testfase for us.

Hoping not to test that one.
