Well I only had enough fuel for about 15 minutes - just forgot that we have proper fuel consumption in RRE now and so didn't think to change the fuel level between qually and race.. Good fun up to that point though, love driving these old classics. Congrats podium.

I think with the server trouble last week the race length wasn't updated after the Aquila race...........not me I was scared to go near the server while it was playing up. In view of those having to pit I'm easy with scrubbing the race from the championship results if you like. Had a great battle with John and then Eck for most of the race, but my front tyres were begging for mercy for the last few laps

Sorry that was me restarting the server. As practice / qually times seemed right I assumed the race was 40 mins as that's what was set.
Race for me was only interesting for the 1st 4 or 5 laps as people had issues and fought back through. Seems the understeer I had was as real killer as several times I seemed to catch people out as I had to brake for corners others didn't seem to need to! Need some other slow coach to race against. It's only through others misfortune I seem to see other cars in this series these days and I'm so slow it's no challenge to get passed.

I did ask, in practice, is the race really 40 mins?. The chat limitations, obviously got in the way.
I had the problem of everyone disappearing, during the gridwalk. After pulling over from the grid, I waited for the game to tell me everyone was away. Only to find, I'd already lost 10ish seconds. Really is, a pita.
My front right had begun to change colour, about 30 mins-ish. Anyhoo, it all turned out reasonably... lol.
Grats again sirs.

I used to run the P&G events as 40 mins, as were many of our other league events. For this I initially decided on 30 mins as the sim had lots of bugs that are not so much an issue these days. and we were really only testing. Now we are more in serious league mode I am happy to run the races as 40 mins if that's what people prefer. I only rarely use pit stops in my events, though that is not impossible.
What do we think? shout up guys.

I had no one to race after 10 mins so I vote 10 Seriously I don't care, game's is still too brain dead for proper pitstops so let's ignore those for now.

My tyres were spent well before 40 minutes and I'm usually good on tyres. I like longer races but midweek I think the current format is about right for me anyway.
