To even things out a bit it might be an idea to multiply tyre wear/fuel by two for future events? Give the ickle guy a chance to compete.
I think that will only rule some cars out. The yanktanks are in no class the fastest car (GT40 is no tank  ), and it suffers immense fuelusages and tyrewear. Making that even more will just drop those cars out the grid. In the TC65 the Cortina and Alfa will dominate (because Mini has big front tyrewear) and other cars are just too slow and also have too much wear and fuelusage. In the GTC65 cars like the Elan will dominate, but also the GT40. The '69 Vette is one of the slowest cars in the TC76 class, and will be useless with increased usage. I can't see how the ickle guy (whatever that is  ) has a bigger chance to compete, as he will also have more wear and fuelusage. IMO things are fine how they are now  |

It feels like you are baiting me mate and, being a sucker for the underdog, I'll take the mini for a test run later
Just wondering if anyone has taken the bait done any mini times yet round here?.....still cant make my mind up   |

All I know Falcons tires are gone after 10 laps or so. My times go from 1.38 to 1.40. Too bad I can't hire those f1 pit crews to change my tires in 5 seconds. I'd be doing 3 stops at least. |

Looks like I will take the little fella after all....be interesting to see if the better tyre ware and fuel can make up for its lack of speed/acceleration against the muscle men.

Hi all, I'm new here but I have raced against some of you before at GC, NG & GBGTL. I was hoping to join you guys for the Dijon race tonight, but I don't think I will be able to because I am presently DLing the skin pack & for some reason I get ridiculously slow DL speeds at Filefront & there is no way I will have the DL finished in time.
So have fun guys, & maybe I will be able to race with you next week.
Cheers
Geoffers

Hi Ruskus
No chance of making tonight, only DLed 45mb in the last 20mins. Why is it so sloooooooow. Never have DL speed probs anywhere else, always the same at Filefront. Oh well, just have to be patient I suppose.

  Didn't even finish the 1st lap!!!!!!!!!!! Got wiped out by Sandor's Alfa, hit the wall and destroyed the engine!!!! Got disco'd as i exited the server though so it probably doesn't make much difference... I'm still annoyed though! Not your fault Sandor, I was just looking forward to this race!

That's odd, I get 700kb/Sec from Filefront ususally. Maybe it's a port forwarding issue with their servers? |

Same here. I think it's cause their servers are in the US. |

Sorry Tibs,
Tried to keep the car in a straight line but didn't succeeded :'(
for the rest it was a nice race but my pitstop was way too long and costed me a complete lap ....
Have to do this different next time.

Was very pleased with doing a PB in qually. After I did my qually lap I tested starting with 120L, and I was surprised to be only 0.8s slower than qually pace. So I started with 120L, which didn't give me a very good start and it was close at T1. Still I managed to keep 1st place and I could keep it there for my whole first stint. Mike was following me for the first stint, but I could increase the gap. For 20 laps my fuelindicator showed FULL, so I was thinking I didn't need to fuel anyway. But at lap 20 it started to drop massively, and by lap 25 it showed 2/3's. So I filled it up to 85L and changed all tyres, as my rear left had a wear of 39  . PRibeiro was on his very late stop strategy again and I was gaining 1,5s a lap on him. I finished with way too much fuel 1/3 tank . Well done Dave the ballerina (spinner ) on 5th |
