Absent today. Have fun.

the link of the track carthage 33 is not good. this downloads carthage 35.
I can't participate, too bad

ok, I try

Yes, great fun track, I messed T1 with not having done a lap with racefuel...

Greg, look for the cpupower-gui tool as the Ryzen falls asleep - set it to "performance" mode 

My 3200G :

Grats to the podium and finishers.

I have not driven the chicane version before and I am undecided about whether I like it. Yes, it adds another challenge for drivers to negotiate on a track that is 95% full throttle but now with a slow technical diversion?, but maybe the appeal of Carthage 35 IS that high speed insanity. My Mk4 was hitting 220mph on some sections, which is also quite a buzz lol.

Apologies to Billy for the contact.
I think I have to concentrate a little more on my on track decisions, as lately I have been doing too many dumb things that often end my races prematurely.
 Carta33 was exactly that. I got a better run through the tricky left hander in the desert and was clearly faster on the exit than Bill's Ferrari, so I aimed for a pass on Bill's left. But, Bill was moving across quite legally and the gap was closing. It is immaterial whether he was "defending" or just had not seen my move. I should have lifted when it was obvious that I was only going to get 50% alongside before I was on the sand. instead of which I kept my foot planted like a frustrated Kamikazi pilot.
Fortunately Bill was able to recover and carry on, but I had already used my single SnG after running wide on cold tyres at the hairpin on lap 1.

I clearly made a poor choice of chassis for this track.

Can someone let me know what everyone else will be driving at Spa?

No issue with the contact Clive. I was quite happy to make room for a pass on a straight piece of road - having worked out the Ferrari was outclassed for top speed. I wasn't expecting a pass at that point.

Overall I prefer the chicane version. Carthage has some very long straights where my concentration starts to wander. 

Yeah, great fight Doni 

@Billy
Spa is good for the Lola or one of the Chaps
