Bit of a disaster that, couldn't really hang on to Geoffers in race 1 and nearly lost 2nd place as the car seemed to loose power on the last lap and a half.

2nd race was OK for the 1st lap then the no power thing came back. After SRW zoomed passed, while I accelerated at a snails pace, I quit. Looking in game the throttle didn't seem to be getting to 100% all the time, seems it gets stuck at around 80%, so I think I need to get the pedals off the rig and give them a talking to.

Almost certainly won't happen until next weekend so I'll probably miss Thursday's race

Bad luck Pete you were making me work for it in the first race. Second race was probably more fun, trying to work an opening to get past Mark & Matt.

While practicing for this I tried some challenge laps against the guy who is top of the leaderboard, following him it is the way these fast guys get off the corners that makes the difference & the amount of kerb they use both into & out off the corners. Very enlightening.

PS: Something odd about race 2 results, order is correct I think, but number of laps & times are all the same as race 1.  ???

I did notice you managed the 1st double apex left hander so much better than I could. Did you also make any setup changes?

Basically used same setup I used at Silverstone, but I had to move the brake balance forward a touch & soften the rear dampers because I kept losing the rear into the final esses before the S/F straight.

Results are weird because I foolishly forgot to say "2nd race of the same event" when entering the results
so had to go and manually change the finish order  ::) I call it keeping user on their toes, my lady would call it dementia

Enjoy these cars very much, made a mess of race one start as I had thought it was a rolling start, and everyone
shot off into the distance, so overdrove and stuffed it into a wall causing big damage, car was still drivable
though it didn't seem to want to corner as well.....

Race two was fun starting from pole. was expecting Geoff to come hurtling past in L1 but he was being polite
behind Spanner... then he was catching me, but was still being polite  ;D I went wide somewhere and he didn't
need a second invite. Then had good fun dicing with Spanner, who got past at one point, only for me to do a cheeky
pass up the inside shortly after.
