I can't get your laptimes guys.. And I confirm my asumptions, I quite dislike this track. despite looking a simplistic layout, it actually takes a lot of laps to get a good rhythm and start improving your times here. Its quite setup sensitive i find, for gaining those extra tenths or half a second and i find i often tinker with various elements throughout my session to set a quicker time. Its a fab track for racing on as its wide and good visibility and can run 4 cars abreast in some parts if everyone's clean.  Running one of these cars on low wing feels amazing if you get the balance right. Getting that hint of oversteer out of a fast corner and balancing it on the throttle just feels great  |

Hello! Can i race this time not on Tyrrel P34 but on another Tyrrel? I feel like 6 wheeler is not good for Silverstone.
Oh the irony, the P34 was first driven at Silverstone in '75  I'm not sure on his fuel loads but Max is looking quick for this. I can't quite get the handling I want from the Hesketh - this might get interesting! Or he was just testing with far less fuel.... |

@Max, how come your laptimes do not appear on the stracker links? For the hard or soft tyre list  using some sneaky alien tyre compound?  |

1. I was using the alien medium compound. Or, 2. stracker only knows what tyre compound you used if you have ptracker installed on your pc to tell it  It was Hard tyres though  |

Having a look at the track map I'm asking where is that "woodcote chicane" actually ? |

The Woodcote chicane appeared for the first time in 1975.

Ok, thank you for the info. Makes sense also, as this last turn with those cones on our right for the pitlane entry is just insane.. |

Any chances to make 2 slots for Tyrrels? there`s only one slot for 4-wheeled Tyrrel at server.
