I see that there are pitstops in this race ( oh joy unbounded!  )

I am guessing from my few trial laps that the cars will not make it on a single tankful of fuel with 2x fuel consumption. So, everyone will need to refuel at least once,  but do we HAVE to change tyre(s) ? or is that optional??

[Wiltshire Tony]

None of the cars will make it without ONE pitstop for go juice. Tyres can be changed but it's not mandatory.

'Go joice' ?  - Have I found someone besides myself who likes 'Waterworld' ?

Possibly

Down to 2:49s in the CSL.  PC Locking up for no apparent reason, had new MB and cpu fitted.  Utility shows temps all OK.  After turning off power, immediately back on and restarting had another half an hours practice without any probs.  Temps Were only 4 deg C higher than temps between the two sessions.

Don't know if it's PC or software problem.  Will have visitors over Christmas but hope to drive in couple events.

Fun whilst it lasted and then after nearly an hours running it lockup. 

Also see email is screwed up again with rubbish being generated even when my PC is turned off.  Will try and sort out tomorrow.

[EvilClive]

Well!! I totally screwed up that race with a comprehensive list of errors!!

A jump start...SnG

Run wide T1 on L1  ...fall to back of field

Forgot to re engage speed limiter during SnG..Speeding in pit lane... another SnG!!

I think I passed poor Bill about 5 times in the first 2 laps!!

Now some 40 secs behind the field but decide to banzai every lap and try to salvage something.

By the time we get to the pitstops I have caught a couple of cars and decide to push the envelope to the limit and go for the full 13 laps. Plan id to take on fuel only as the tyres look just about good enough to get to the end.

Short shift all through lap 13 to be sure of making pit lane and cruise into my crew chief

Select full fuel load and...............................................I get Dq'd!!!!  ?
Not a happy bunny

hope the rest of you had more fun ( and luck) cyall after the festivities..enjoy.

Fun to meet you again  ...& not least, support TEAM-GTLDK 

Assen, never tried, but fun...when you could remember to brake the right places. 

Qual:
Went ok, but not satisfied...because I'm used to using 'Advanced Setup'. Instead of only 1 garage, you have 2 pages...well, more options such as assymetrical.

Race:
hehe, I must admit (there was at least one who saw it) on one of the first laps, I mistook a turn and drove into the grass. I mention no names, but the person who took the lead...spin around the turn after 
After this, no errors 

One thing I was too slow, after the race, Erling & I spoke in chat...all disappeared and no so I wrote: Merry Christmas 

The next track is Rouen, one of my favorites from GPL...I will try everything to be with you.

Cheers

ohh, just before our race today - now we are here in the UK - I read a sad news, a singer when I got a record (think I was 14) and I still have it, a slightly 'different' to the famous Beatles: With a little help from my friends.
