No practice for me sadly, as i got a blue screen error on my pc. Safe mode options not working, so i'll be looking for my recovery disc somewhere tonight. Hopefully i'll be able to get it up and running before Wednesday.  |

These cars dont seem to like low wing configs. I thought that was the way to go here and have wasted most of my practise time trying to turn the car into an exocet missile, but the car always feels unbalanced / borderline lethal!  As soon as i put a bit more wing on (thanks vva!) I gained half a second. |

As soon as i put a bit more wing on (thanks vva!) I gained half a second. Exactly the same experience here. And even if you match the parameters for a huge top speed, it never reaches a big one. So that a minimum of aero becomes a no brainer. |

Race Day Gentlemen@SRW are you okay for server duties for the race this evening in Pete's absence? (FMG can you be a back up in case?) Should be a slipstreaming fest tonight!

No luck in restoring my pc, so just ordered W10 and be done with it. Just hadn't had the time to install it and set it up again. And I don't think I will be up and running before tonights race. Hopefully I will be back for the final race!
Good luck all tonight.
