Thanks Axel, you're right
Great racing behind me I noticed on prib and watching replay! Great job getting back to P2, smart and gritty drive teamie!
I never can find the speed of the ferrari, my best speed was 271km/h....
....Ican't even take the split stream of the others cars, and all the others cars can catch me too easely......so I prefer stop the race
cu next one
well done Robert and podium.......
Sorry to hear Tristan, was your throttle calibrated correctly, like you didn't have 100% full throttle or so? Otherwise it could be too low tirepressures and too tall final gear, but knowing you I don't think so...normally Ferrari and BRM have potentially the best topspeeds as far I have experienced (GPL Setup Manager is not fully accurate in showing potential topspeeds IMO)...hope you figure out what is/was wrong!
I get the feeling my acceleration was hindered by something, because people were moving quicker than I were, even in the same chassis.
Then I binned it at the first hairpin on lap 11. Just 3 more miles...
Could be too tall gearings, too low tirepressures (at fast tracks I always pump them up, to 24-26psi cold pressure, for less rolling resistance), or even high toe settings (in theory, not sure if it's modelled) will give more rolling resistance...
Congratulation to Robert on a run-away win! Great job.
I must consider myself fortunate to some degree as in checking via GPLRA later from the server replay cap, I logged the following in the Mechanical Report...

Impressive Doni, especially with that sort of damage! Great drive, and not only thanks to the tow!
I thought I'd try the 65's, not expecting to be at the sharp end. In qualy I had a great tow behind Clive who was also being towed to his pole lap. I certainly would have been in with a quick lap if I hadn't spluttered out of the last corner - out of fuel. So I started near the back, so far back that I saw a movement and moved off, stopped when I saw the cars in front still still and then saw the green flag drop. Reims has an odd pitboard position, so I had the pit in message for a jumped start before the end of the first lap. So I stopped at my stall and waited 30 seconds. I've never seen that happen before. Dean was behind me on the grid and moved when I moved, so was in the same situation. We then had our own fun slipstreaming battle for a number of laps about a minute behind everyone else. Dean got stuck in the cornfield - I would have waited if you could continue - and later my engine went (valve apparently). I then could watch the very enjoyable battle for 2nd, but grats go to Robert.
Noticed it in the replay at the start. You move when the green flag came out, and Dean reacts to you. So you guys couldn't see the green flag/flagman!?
I forgot the BT7 has six gears and was hammering along in 5th on max revs when she exploded.
Ouch, very good showing in the BT7 nevertheless Ray, respect!
