increase all round, will vary car to car but generally the tyres were about 0.8 to -1 too low. When you do your practise laps cast a regular glance to your tyre temps to see what they are reading. Of course, if the track dries out the tyre temps will rise! so you will have to hunt puddles 

What are the ideal pressures?

What are the ideal pressures?

when all 3 bars of the tyres are equal height in the HUD (when hot of course)

Uhm, a number please 

[MaxVeloce]

30 for wets, 28 for slicks on the cars I've tried

Formation lap is still the short version

And for tonight will remain so. Release notes for 1.6 say

- Private servers can set up a full formation lap via "shortFormationLap": 0 in the settings.json.

Well the server just crashes if I add that line in either the main section or the race session.

Thanks for the information, doesn't make much sense then

so sorry to the person i hit from behind at the chicane, from the spray it is so hard to see anything at all and i was counting down the brake markers no realising that the 150 had gone! i apologise and i didnt see come back on track otherwise i would have waited.   that was kind of fun but really difficult so hard to see following another car.

finished 2nd ...hurrah  

Enjoyed that, challenging conditions but nice combo of cars and track. Good first wet race experience.   Had good pace, including a new 2:06 PB in qually   but still pipped by Max (who had sneaked in our garage and stole our setup info     )
Sadly nobody else kept up so I had a lonely race other than the first 15mins chasing Max's rooster tail, until he started pulling away.

shame only 7 turned up

Qualifiyng started with a dry track surface which got wet very fast, so the ones leaving the pitlane as early as possible had the best conditions. I waited a bit too long, so it was only P3 for me.
Start went better and I was able to immediately overtake both guys infront right after the lights went green. Stayed in P1 for a few laps when I suddenly dropped a wheel onto the grass approaching the veedol-chicane, sending my car into a spin , stupid and annoying mistake  from my side
Spend the rest of the race trying to catch up to Mark at least, but another spin in the final stages destroyed my hopes.
Nevertheless racing in the wet was quite fun, hoping for another try with those conditions in the future and a slightly better turnout next time.

Ok. Please, follow the league traditions, practice in same ( wet) condition first (using AI). I saw you've not tryied to return a pos and was very angry about this fact. For now, in ACC, every  small contact will cause loose pace and race overall. Espetially when you crashed at other car at full speed. Congrats Max and Mark- you both was find a proper key to Porsche and car setup.
For me it was too wet and slippery  
Good night, but i am on morning here with lost night.

Alexey, Slightly unfair to chunky as he has been on the wet practise server on at least one or two evenings that I’ve seen. I didn’t see the incident but he explained what happened. Unfortunate that it ruined both your cars for the race though
