How many ways can you pronounce "Biriri" Birger can't be that hard.... and Meysman looks doable I guess it's all in the accent I might Birger, But I usually do GTL Wednesdays. I am able to join non Rookie servers now, and am working my way through the cars I like the Ferri best, but even with reduced wing it lacks top speed. I am getting low 2:06 in the Vette and Pork, 2:07 in the Ferri and Beemer. My Rating is currently - 1512.33 Reputation is - 88.239 |

Do you want to try my setup for the Vette Matt? I have tweaked it a bit since I sent it to Birger & have got a 2.03.8 with low fuel, about a second slower on a full tank. Looks like the soft tyres will do 40 minutes, so a two stop race.
If you could get your rating up to 1550 you could enter the silver race, otherwise it will be bronze. But often the silver is quite sparsely populated compared to the gold & bronze.

Errr no, in game it doesnt say, anymore. It used to display it when you clicked on the server to show the details but i dont think i've seen that.
Which is why i have no idea on safety rating or reputation other than looking on the website.
Errr yes, main menu in game, click on Portal then at the top Ranked Multiplayer & it will show your ranked races along with Rating & Reputation. Well it does on mine anyway.  The portal takes out of the game to their website.... I meant on the multiplayer server listing when i'm choosing a server, when i want to know what i can or can't join. |

From my side: Quali pace (SOFT/40L) +/- 2:04.25 Race pace (HARD/75L) +/- 2:06.25 Currently my strategy is to start om (H/H/90L), first pitstop (H/no rear or S on the rear + 80% of fuel), second pitstop (S/S + remaining fuel) PS: you can send me the setup to in case of majr change`s but i think the basic setup with some tweaks on the wing and gear ratio is already good. |

I have tried a tyre test 40min race against the AI using the soft tyres & the softs will indeed last for 40mins, so I will go with the softs for the race & change them at each stop. I was doing mid to low 2.04s early in the race but the times dropped off by 1-1.5s by the end of the 40mins.

Tried your setup thanks Geoff, but I am a second slower with it than my own concoction.
My rating is now 1582, Reputation has crept up to 81.9
So, can I join the Silver surfer? is that what you guys are doing?
Do I need to apply for anything?

Yep, you are ok for silver (1550/80). Not sure which server I will be in, depends on numbers of drivers.

Ok, I have been running in some non rookie servers with some quick people
there's a chap called D De Grassi, who is seconds faster than I can do
Also there seem to be a lot of quick BMWs, doing times that I am miles off
in a beemer. I lucked in last night with two of them who were slightly faster
and both got past as I was stuck behind someone else, but then they collided
so I got two places back. I would rather run the Ferri for a distance event
but it is too slow on the straights with the min wing I can cope with, but it's great
fun leaving people behind in the corners. I did one race with hard tyres, and I was
maybe a second slower. The left front melts on the Vette, particularly in the Carousel
but the wear doesn't seem too bad. How long is the race? you reckon two stops?
is that because you would run out of fuel, or the tyres are shot? Is one stop
with hard tyres an option? So little time, so many questions. I haven't really been
thinking of doing the event, I have just been having some fun, but as I have the
rating and reputation I will do it, if I can get back from work in time.

Race is 2 hours. In the Corvette it is not possible to do a one stopper, it needs two for fuel so makes sense to change tyres too, in fact necessary with softs.
Don't worry about the quick guys, they will be in the gold server if they turn up. De Grassi is top of the leaderboard if I remember correctly with a low 2.02, that's over a second faster than I can manage. Go with what you are comfortable with & can keep on track, that is more important than outright speed. As you are just into the silver category, you are almost guaranteed to increase your rating as long as you finish.

I see that practice start at 18:30 UK time. 30 mins practice?
then qual and then race. So can you join in Qual, and do we know
what time the race actually starts?
Sorry for the questions, but I am having to work in Manchester office this week
and may struggle to get back for 19:00
