UKAC Season 5 Glickenhaus SCG003 - Monza - Oct 4

[Sutol]

After a goodish practice session the day before I was confident for the race. Qualified well, but that's about it it. Awful start as usual, and then drove as if I'd never seen Monza or the car before. Very disappointing race for me, was expecting so much more.

Poor result from me, only managed 7th.   disappointing after doing regular 1:49's in practise.

Was dog tired for tonights race again and it was costing me the odd 10th here and there resulting in my race laps being 1 sec slower than my practise laps with same fuel   meant I just couldn't stay with Shark and nsfw as the race wore on. Enjoyed the first 20mins when I was chasing the pair of them with ChrisR also closing me down but after that they eeked away.
Didn't make any mistakes other than worn tyres nearly having me off twice but kept it on the grey stuff.
Just couldn't keep up consistent 1:50's as I made a tactical error of using my qualy setup but with med tyres. My slightly stiffer race setup was better and more consistent with heavy fuel but I panicked when I realised I hadn't worked out race fuel on the grid   and chose wrong setup  

Decent race though.

Decided to try the softs during qually with 40L of fuel, because I was thinking of using them for the race. I wanted to just drivethe whole 15 minutes in a row and see the wear, but the tyre wear bar was gone  . Not sure if it's an app bug, or tyre wear is off in qually . But with 4 minutes to go, I was a weird spin in Parabolica, so I went out again with less fuel...and spun again. Had only 1 attempt after that and was able to just get infront of Felix.

Was a bit cautious at the start which gave Maikel a 1 second lead after the first chicane. He then had a bit of a moment in Ascari. I lifted off to slot back behind him, but Maikel was also cautious with the rejoin, so I thought: don't mind if I do. With Maikel's pace, he was behind me in no time. We spend half a lap side by side 2 laps in a row, which also reminded me of the F'3  .

After ge got past for the second time, I made a mistake and the gap became 1,5 seconds. But it seems Maikel's car was allergic to leading and he had that odd spin at Lesmo, gifting me the lead again  .

With Felix between me and Maikel, I was hoping that would give me a bit of a buffer. They seemed to have an epic battle as well .

[ChrisR]

I was instructed to meet the mrs and her parents for a drink at my local drinking hole.. so i did, then they ordered food and i knew that i wasnt making it for the race.. we finished up at 20:20.. we said our goodbyes and i drove home... spirited, ran upstairs, pc on, steam on, downloaded public client and boom. In with a minute or 2 of qually left.

Started from the back i just gingerly made my way through the pack as not to disturb anyone, im concious of the ongoing championship and wouldnt want to get involved in a battle and messing it up for someone..

Caught gymer but spun at ascari, a couple passed but i managed to get my place back, i was closing 4th and 5th down at a rapid pace but wasnt any time left in the race to get past.

Im happy, cant expect more from no practise

Edit; setup uploaded to ptracker just for you 

In the end I didn't use it, it was too loose for me and I don't like them like that  .

What I did steal from you, was your line through Parabolica. I thought you took a tighter exit to break the tow, but for some reason that line was about 0.150 faster than the "normal" line. How on earth is that possible, as it makes no sens to me and how did you find that out  ?

I've almost always driven that line I think     I just try out loads of different lines to see whats best. Somehow this was faster, though I still find it strange aswell.

Probably quicker because you don't really lose out any speed keeping to a tighter line in these cars.
