UKAC Season 3 Blancpain - Round 2 - Silverstone - May 17

[Baikal]

Thanks, Mark   It's just because i had enough practise here in  league champ with ru zone guys  
BTW lap record here was 1.59.7xx owned by one fast crazy guy  
Aaaand  you have a perspective up to 2.00.510 in porsche here ( on med compound)   

[Mark J]

I've only done 9 laps, a 2.00 should be totally achievable 

[Jeffrey]

I'll just be the Red Bull of this year, be in no man's land. I really don't like the way the Lambo drives 

[Manteos]

Unfortunately I'm gonna miss this race, but I guess that another VDA mate (Massimo Bonni) will add to the fun. He will post his car choice later. See you for the next 

[Mark J]

Will be jumping on the server this eve for some much needed praccy if anyone wishes to join in 

Shame you can't make it Manteos but benvenuti signor Bonni  - remind him we need his guid and car choice pronto 

[Gavino Pintus]

Hi Mark,
same Matteo's car for Massimo. Should be easier for you and for us.
The entire name is Massimo Bonni and the guid is 76561198013643819

[Jeffrey]

Unfortunately I'm gonna miss this race

Everybody moves up a place...

, but I guess that another VDA mate (Massimo Bonni) will add to the fun. He will post his car choice later. See you for the next 

...aaaand we all drop down a place 

[Mark J]

Lol Jeff 

Just watched the rest of the real 3hr race at the weekend...wow! Awesome close racing 

[FullMetalGasket]

Zero practice here so far. GPL tonight so it'll stay at zero.

To be honest my biggest challenge here is generally not rage-quitting as a result of hating the place so much 

Expect a poor showing from me 

[Bonni Massimo]

Hello guys,
I'm Massimo Bonni and I'm ready for tomorrow 

[Mark J]

Benvenuti Massimo, hope you are not as fast as Gavino  I have added you to the drivers file so no need to book in.

And that's the spirit FMG 

I am struggling here  :'( best I managed in race spec was a late 2:03 but mostly mid 2:04's. I really don't like the porker on medium fronts. Tried several setups but none made much difference. A frustrating evening testing.

How are you guys getting on with aero here? Silverstone is supposedly a medium downforce track but I am still having to run about 17 rear wing (out of 20!) to keep it on the black stuff. Feels like I should be down nearer 12 rear wing to suit the long straights here.

hello racers,

I have just been practicing pitstops off line. Last time I did a pitstop in AC I used the pit config app that has been around for a year or so, but it doesn't work now and I am forced to use a new app that I haven't seen before which appears as I enter the pitlane. Is there any way you can adjust the settings of the new app before you enter the pitlane?

Stephen, you select your pit strategy in your setup menu now. Last tab. I don't know if you can alter/over-ride that in-car or as you enter pitlane as I haven't used it myself yet!  ...anyone?

Sorry MJ - Silverstone just leaches my soul out. Both in real life and on Sims.
The only excitement I've had here other than the run under the bridge on the old layout, was suffering total brake failure for the chicane after Stowe on the old GP track. Grass tracking at 120+ was certainly interesting

Yeah, you should be able to - I've done it during practice and qualify sessions before.
It's just driven by the cursor keys and enter - or the hat/D-Pad on my G25 although I haven't found enter on that yet
