Just finished my young driver tests and I have an offer from Lotus!
Since there is only 1 practise session here, I decided to do some TT laps around Melbourne (dry) before the race weekend. I managed to clock in a 1.25.933, which is 3848th on the leader board. I also played around with some set ups and hopefully this setup is good on tyres as I plan to use it in the race.

Here is the setup:
Front wing angle - 1
Real wing angle - 1

Brake balance - 50front 50rear
Pressure - High
Brake size - Standard

Front Anti-Roll Bar - 7
Real Anti-Roll Bar - 9

Front Ride height - 4
rear ride height - 3
front spring stiffness - 9
rear spring stiffness - 9

gear 1 - 133kph
gear2 - 169kph
gear3 - 196kph
gear4 - 224kph
gear5 - 255kph
gear6 - 281kph
gear7 - 314kph

camber front - -3.00
camber rear - -0.90
toe front - 0.10
toe rear - 0.35

I use the normal ps3 controller.

Time for my first official practise session!

Practise:
Finished in 3rd about 1.3s behind Rosberg. Put in a lap of 1.30.696 with the setup above. This was on the option tyre so rather disappointed. However, my team mate Kimi finished in 14th 2.6s off the leader. I did use lean mix so here is time to be found, however I am still unsure about my setup but I'll be sticking to it for quali hoping for a strong result. This setup is a handful to handle but hopefully it will allow me to save my tyres.
