Or 20:05.  It was requested by a driver last week if it would be possible to have practise start earlier. So were giving 19:15 a try. I does not mean that you have to be online at 19:15. And if it's not popular for whatever reason it will be changed back to 20:05 for future races. |

Its normally around 8.15 PR  Spanner, what I meant was that I will be able to have only 15 minutes of practice qualifying.  |

Heavy ballast for Geoffers please.  I was able to tried Aston Martin DB4 for 3 laps and I liked it. However I am almost a snail comparing to Geoffers times. Just managed 2.00.6.  |

Rockets boosters & KERS systems are not permitted for this race Geoffers! I've tried four cars so far (including the Elan) & my best so far is a 1:58.9 Looks like I'll be on the server getting some much needed practice tonight |

Well after a night on the server... I'm still none the wiser what I'm going to take. The obvious choice is the Elan, but I seem to take that every time it's an open GTC65 choice... so despite being a couple of seconds slower in anything else, Tomorrow I'm going to enjoy driving the ....... (nope, I still don't know  ) |

Hoping to make this one tonight and after a busy few days I'm looking forward to my playtime I'm going to resist the temtation to take the Elan this time, so it looks like being the F275 GTB for me. See you there. |

I will also be resisting the Elan & will be going for the fantastic cornering of the 1310 or maybe the straight line speed of the TVR. 1.54.9 in both of them last night.

Can I ask why this race is set to 2x fuel usage? it's probably been discussed somewhere but I cant find it  |

In another league I've raced in we've had enduros with x3 tyres and fuel - that's when the choice of car gets interesting. Am having another Senior moment - I can't find the screen to adjust consumption to x2, can someone please remind me? Bill |

Yeah it must make a difference to car choice etc, I was wondering more though why JUST 2x fuel and not tyres too.... Am having another Senior moment - I can't find the screen to adjust consumption to x2, can someone please remind me?
As far as I'm aware, you have to run the dedicated server where you change usage figures....and connect locally on your own pc. |

Can I ask why this race is set to 2x fuel usage? it's probably been discussed somewhere but I cant find it Presumeably to try and make a race with different performance and economy cars. If it only encourages people to think about their car choice & think about trying something new, that'll be a good start. Though I fear that regardless of what we conjure up while the Elan is available, it offers too much of an advantage for many to resist. Not a problem, because as you all know from the race announcement, the most popular car in this race will be unavailable for Enduro races 3 & 6 (The other GTC65 enduro's). Yeah it must make a difference to car choice etc, I was wondering more though why JUST 2x fuel and not tyres too....
This Race is JUST 2x Fuel, but we've already published full details on each race of the Season Eight Endurance Season. Some races will be "normal", some longer/shorter, some will have either 2x Fuel or 2x Tyres & some will use both/neither. Putting some thought into your pit strategy for each race this season, could be rather beneficial over treating each event as two 40 minute sprints. |
