(I do hope it still has the banked corners?)
It does, just got to make sure you don’t get beached at the top of the banking or on the big curbs on the inside! Hoping for a good race in the Z4

Dear me, the Viper really eats its tyres on this track. If it rains, tyre choice is going to be a nightmare (again) .

Hello everyone. I'm kinda new here. I may try and take part in the race tomorrow which will be my first race. I have been practicing quite a bit, and I will do my best. I apologise in advance if I am responsible for any incidents.

Anyone got any times so I can gauge how I'm doing? My best so far is 1:32.6 in race setup. But my Z4's front left tyre is being torn to shreds (6.7 after 4 laps ) & might have to go for more durable tyres Unless anybody has any suggestions on things that will reduce tyre wear on this track? I think it might be the banked corners that are killing them. p.s. Welcome Lubi, see you on the track

1:31.5 in the Viper with race fuel. But my Z4's front left tyre is being torn to shreds (6.7 after 4 laps ) & might have to go for more durable tyres Unless anybody has any suggestions on things that will reduce tyre wear on this track? I think it might be the banked corners that are killing them. Is the wheel locking up under braking? I had that problem and it was using up the tyre much faster. If so, try reducing the brake pressure a bit and possibly set the brake bias more to the rear. You could also try reducing the front Anti Roll Bar (too much and the car will not turn in) and reducing the camber in that wheel. I hope this is some help.

1:30.1 Quali - 1:31.4 Race But my Z4's front left tyre is being torn to shreds (6.7 after 4 laps ) I was also worried about my tyre wear until I did a long test run using medium slicks, and managed to do mid 1:32's with my front left tyre reading 17. Which was good news as this means I won't have to do 2 stops in the race
