I will use the 330P4 and the Porsche please Axel.

BTW can we still use the old GT setups on the revised SC cars? or have the physics changed?

You can use the old setups, but they need some tweaks as the tyres changed a lot ;)

I tought to have forgotten the problem of the gears this season.The 2 race with 67 and 65 gave me no problem but with the GT the problem is returned.I hope to do do some race.Anyway my folder VM in the chap is empty.

Hi Fran

If the gears are OK Off-line, it must be the selection in IGOR. I think these kinds of problems can occur if you select the wrong driver in IGOR.

Hope you get it fixed.

Regards

Phil

Had a decent race with Tim for a while. He had the nimble Alfa whilst I had the big MKIV. Tim was all over me like a rash in the in-field but the speed of the MKIV was enough to get me back in front for a while. I made too many mistakes on the in-field and gradually I lost more ground than I could make up on the straights. Grats to Tris and the rest of the podium.

Grats Tris for a superior win, and Fulvio for the podium  :thumbup1:

I took the "slow" car for this race and was very afraid of this notorious turn 1,
with ~316 kph over the line, I had to brake this heavy car in a corner down to 70 kph...

In the last second before this Qualifying I had the right idea how to tame the beast, and yeah it worked!

Hi Phil,the driver selection was correct.If not correct i'm not able to find my setup used in the test.
The problem remain a mystery.

Grats to Tris and the podium.
I knew that this track offered some chance for the lower powered cars and obviously one or two others were thinking the same thing.
I managed to extract some good times from the old Porker, but it did require the slipstream from a bigger car to make it work. The downside was that I was running a very high 1st gear, which made getting off the line a real problem and that scuppered my start.
I knew that my race depended upon getting a tow from the bigger cars, and perhaps I was trying too hard in the first few laps :-\ to get on their tails.

Inevitably I pushed 20mtrs too deep into T1 and ran wide, I also clipped a wall and somewhere my car lost 10mph off top speed  :(. For a couple of laps I was almost joining the battle between Tim and Phil but even when I was within slipstream range I was losing ground because of the damage. slowly I fell farther behind and ended up simply lapping the track around 4 secs off my expected race pace until the flag.

Grats to all finishers, this series could be fun as the car choices work out.
