Yes, shame about the low turnout, especially as these cars are so much fun.. Mark stuck close for the first few laps, then seemed to start dropping back a bit. Uneventful after that - even the pit-stop, which could be the first one I've done (in any sim) where I haven't messed it up somehow!

Thanks to all.

You were in a different race Frex, doing 57's in the race! I tried supersofts in qually but just changes the balance too much and are not that much quicker. Also they seemed to be getting orange at points during the lap so stuck with softs. I thought I would have a quicker stop not changing tyres but that carrying half fuel would allow quicker times but adding fuel takes so long in the pitstop! I'll remind myself to carry full race fuel next time!

Being that all these tracks are addons, this track hasn't helped raise my expectations for the rest of them!

Driving these cars is not easy infact it makes it worse when near people so to me its a challenge just driving them to the finish so these certainly do not appeal to everyone. You've picked the hardest race series in the world to follow; the hardest cars to drive on some of the most inappropriate tracks! Its not something that can be picked up with little or no practise. I find say the GT3's to be nice and easy and I have to push myself to drive them harder to get the times; whereas these (and others historic, low grip cars) i'm having to reign myself in all the time and then it becomes just repeating everylap.

Plus we are in the hight of summer. It happens every year attendances drop during the summer months; people have other things to be doing!

Personally I think also wednsdays has put people off; they try the car out, instantly don't like it so drift away for a bit, they have been pretty difficult cars.  I know everyone hates GT3s but it has a wide appeal

Yes, I had dismissed the supersofts assuming that they were a one lap qually tyre, until chat before the first race a couple of weeks ago when someone (Felix and/or FMG) mentioned that they would last a race. Trying them at that race didn't show me much, as I was DQ'd after a few laps, but I tried them again here and they were fine.

Yes, they will overheat if you lock the fronts under braking, or slide the rear out of the corners, but they also recover quickly if you're careful. Mine were turning orange, red and back to green again throughout the race and didn't cause a problem. The wear rate is fine also, especially as we can change tyres half way through.

Speaking of which, I've just noticed the race post mentions a compulsory stop for fuel OR tyres, whereas I in fact did both - is this ok? Remove me from the results if not.
