Endurance Championship - Season 2, Round 3, Enna - Mar 5

[picnic]

Might I suggest making sure server is in main as it's impossible to get in backup intentionally. Maybe you could start server now with the right settings for tonight then leave it running as is. When it's 8.00pm only got to vote next event.. not sure if it can be done this way but probably easier now to get in main rather than later.

Just tried a couple of times but the server is at the mercy of the system as much as the clients and keeps ending up in the backup lobby

If you are a full-time driver and can't get into the server tonight because of lobby problems please post here so we know.

I would also therefore suggest that full-timers get to practice 1 early in case they need a few attempts to get in etc.

Are we driving at the same track And I thought a 1.40 was ok

It's possible to carry silly speeds into the tyre chicanes in qualifying, not so easy in the race where one twitch and you are out. Looking at the S2 NGT Sprint results only 3 drivers managed under 1:40 in the race. You might want to check your aero settings as well, think I run something like 1 & 5 at Enna.

I cant get on still, tryed new reg but failed i try again later, What the rule concerning this will it rescheduled or be tough luck for the people that cant get in.

For endurance racing, race pace of 1:39 / 1:40 should be top 3.

In qualifying it all hangs out and every conceivable risk is taken through the tyre chicanes.  Have a look at the Sprint race times from this season...

My new PB would have taken pole by 0.4 of a second in the Sprint. Of course getting the car to go as fast twice is the challenge! 

EDITED - My new new PB would have taken pole by a shade under a second in the Sprint race. 1:36.1 now in the Ferrari 360. I am at one with my car! Bet I wont reproduce this pace tonight! Should push quite a few GT boys though.

So 1:41xxx in race trim on meds 40mins fuel should  be ok then?

If anyone (other than you Shark) can do that pace for 80 mins in an NGT then they will be 2nd by a loooong way!

We'll see. I usually get too scared at Enna in the race to go remotely near my ultimate pace. My race pace in practice is around 1:39. It's unlike any other circuit in terms of qualifying times being anything near race times.  After 60 mins I can see lots more accidents happening through tiredness. Although this race wont be 80 mins as you will cover the distance faster than the 80 mins. I suspect it will be 70-75 mins in reality.

Lol, guess I should point out that's in an F360 and not a GT

Hmm, looks like I did a 34.8 and CJ did a 33.3 in the turbo there, but then again CJ is pretty much king of the turbo
