Well, that's one for the discard pile.

No problem Enrique, I was very appreciative of the second little tap to put the nose of my car pointing back in the right direction.
Not sure about your second clock smash but at least Phil has told us how to fix it!

A bad start and I tried desperately over the first lap to be ahead of Doni but his Vanwall was just too strong.

So I was following Doni but not able to pass when Enrique gave me a little tap and the whole world came past.

I ended up in a Gordini race with Hristo and Jonny, which I naturally lost.

Congratulations to Evil, Enrique and Dimitar.

Thanks Phil.


I've replaced it with Gaizka's lap of 1:17.02 in the Gordini.  Evil can beat it with the Maserati tomorrow.   

The lap record for this place on my pc is 4.66 seconds and is held by Enrique.  Any ideas how to delete this?

The best time to pass is when the other bloke is on the grass!

I find that you have to stand it on its nose at the end of the first straight and then try to do the rest of the lap with minimal brakes.

As with most tracks, I can only go as fast as my brakes allow.

LOL

I agree with Fran!

So far I have failed to attain admin status.   

Thanks Axel.

Thanks Dave.

I'm now well and truely baffled.

Hope that I didn't wipe out anyone else when I ran out of skill at T1 in race three.

I have a pc with a 110Gb SSD and it keeps telling us that it is low on disk space.

The reason is that Windows 10 has snaffled 95Gb of it and I can't see how to get it to give it back!

When I look at the Windows folder it seems to contain about 20Gb, which I could live with but the System and Reserve accounts for 95Gb.

Any ideas?

All the info that I find talks about keeping my files somewhere else but that is not the problem.  It's poxy W10 itself!

Just got home and will try to knit a setup for the Lotus 43.

Thanks for the Easter treat.

It was fun trying to wrestle the Lotus 43 around Aintree but was not the ideal chariot.

In race one it took me a while to realise that I was not using my intended race setup.  It took at least until half way before I had reprogrammed my poor head to make best use of what I had.  I had a good battle with Paul and managed to finish in one piece.

I set off for the garage to find out what had happened to my setup and by the time I hit the track there was hardly time for a lap. My frantic search to discover what fuel I had in the race setup ensured that I would miss the start and would be obliged to start from the pit lane.  By now I was getting a little wound up.  I managed to swap accidents with Bernie and eventually came out on top, although GPL has me a lap down.

In the third race I actually got to make a start with the right ratios and it was quite good. At T1 I squeezed inside a spinning Eagle and was relieved to find that I had still left enough room on the inside for a Cooper to blast past.  Sadly the cold tyres caught me out later in the lap and I was relegated to the back.

At least I made it to the finish in all races without any Shift-R being called for.

That's one thing that I do manage most of the time.  I do a short run at race speed and subtract the fuel left in from the fuel that I started with.  Divide that by the number of laps covered and then multiply it by the race distance.  I then multiply by 1.1 to add the ten percent for slipstreaming.  I usually then add 1.3 ltr, which is the fuel left in the tank when the engine starts to splutter.

That has always provided plenty of fuel.  Probably too much but then there is no way that I can indulge in mid-race mental arithmatic without stuffing the car into a hedge/tree/straw bale etc.. 

I once threw a way a win at Bremgarten by attempting to scratch my nose so I have to keep it simple once the race is on!

I have always understood that fuel consumption is determined by engine revs.

Congratulations to Hristo and Dimi, a very clever race.

For me it was most frustrating, as the corners were always filled with the Bulgarian folk dancing pair.

I couldn't attack one without running into the other!  I was even having to dab the brakes into T1 to avoid hitting them!

Normally the SL would eat its tyres but they were running at a pace that kept them useable.  Running behind them, my tyres were in the green most of the time.
