I managed a 2:13.3 with both on mediums and 60 L fuel. I think a 2:12 or maybe a 2:11 quali time should be possible.
The longtail is abit trickier to drive though then then the short tail.

I was hood winked by my times in comparison to the AI (and having no times to compare against!) as I was 3 secs a lap quicker so wrongly assumed to be on the pace expected the quick guys to be another 2 secs faster but not 4 !! Will get my head down tonight and up my game  |

Short tail is a lot more fun to drive, and easier as well. Using 100% boost with the Long tail on the 2 straights, it has a lot higher top speed. Maybe faster drivers take the LT?

Are you using a setup from the market Jeffrey?
I can't even get near my offline times in the long tail!

Short tail was default setup. I did use a setup from the setupmarket on the long tail as default was terrible. Think I slightly tweaked the downloaded setup, still wasn't good, but more managable but was bored hotlapping, so didn't fine tune it in the end  |

That's a bit better, I took over 2 secs off to get into low 1.15's. Had several Laps in the 14's but kept over cooking it on the brakes at the final chicane..tad more rear bias will cure that. There were about 7 of us on the praccy server when I had to leave (AC crashed on me when praccy ended)  Still a country mile off Maikels time |

I'm liking these cars alot more now Quite busy too, were about 15 driving when I quit. Probably will go with the Longtail for the race. Although it's quite fast at 100% turbo it damages the engine, so in the race it should probably be used not too often ( mapped the turbo pressure buttons to the wheel for this ). Was about 1,5 seconds slower running on 80% boost. Looking forward to the race tomorrow  |

Wow 30 drivers have been on the practise server.  Popular combo! Did we have a message up about the race? Still a blank page on my triples. Car skins looked great love seeing some iconic cars on track. Shame I had to leave, could have driven that all night. |

I just can't get to grips with the long tail so will probably run the Short tail tomorrow despite not having had any real practice in it |
