Nice, sure Maikel will too based on his pace! Re the longer tail I found one click more front bump tamed the pendulum motion. Loved the way you can actually feel it's momentum in the tighter corners, great physics in this sim |

Yeah, I'll stick with the Longtail. Kinda like the way it drives aswell and pretty easy to catch a slide. Will have to move the boost down to 80% so my race pace will probably be a second or two slower. No idea how long the engine will last with a 100% boost.

So your laptime was done on 100% boost? I have no idea how much of a difference it makes, I only turned it up on the straight and I think that was around 15-20 kph. I did 3 laps and the engine was down to 907 (starts at 1000)
Guess 0 is boom? But before that, surely the damaged engine will perform less? |

Hadn't done 50 yrds before I was hit from behind which sent me 180deg, then had to turn the car around using forward and reverse gears. By the time I got going everyone was long gone, tried to catch up but it was pointless. Not very happy when I actually made an effort to make this race.

 Very unlucky Mr.T, the opposite for me, had a good race, first half very close racing, second half on my own, must use these again a brilliant combo, thanks for putting this one on.

I had also a very nice race.. i was surprised about my pace, as it was 2 secs faster than my practice before. i had Maikel in front of me going places in his long tail, after he flew by with at least 100 mph. I then caught up to Eck Simpson and we had quite the battle going on until he pitted.. i came in a lap after him, tyres must have been down to the rim. It felt like i had no grip on any of the tyres anymore  my pitstop then was surprisingly long as refuelling these cars takes forever, however somehow Eck was 20 seconds behind when i exited the pitroad. Dont know what happened to him, but i was very disappointed and seeing him leaving the server a few laps after made me sad.. apparently something frustrating must have happened. anyways, i spend the rest of the race almost all by myself until i noticed Mark Ekins caught up a seconds each lap. very close finish between him and me and i have to say, these cars are a blast to drive. thanks for hosting this |

Had a lot of fun sliding around with the longtail, unfortanely my start was abit messy. I was waiting for the starting lights and then I heard everyone revving, so I was like; ok, lights are gonna come on anytime now... and all of a sudden everyone was off  Good thing nobody ran over the sitting duck. Don't know why it wasn't showing, though I blame my pitcrew for it Had some good fights with Denis and Eck for a while. Pitted probably a few laps to late as those mediums were down to 94%, switched over to the hards are those were alot better ( after about 10 laps they were still 98% ). Had 2 spins in total so around the last 6 laps I was around 30 seconds behind fmg and Jeffrey ( who seemed to be having a great close race, and hopefully slowing eachother down). Decided to just run the boost at 100% all the time, managed to take back around 15 seconds. Kinda feels like a prehistoric version of the strategic racing with the 919  Definitely would race some more with these. who is up for that? I've already got a race over at Core. Start of the Abarths Though they seem really popular as for the 1st race there are already 30 sign ups  |
