General Discussion

I agree with Davidson lol bloody gt cars

GT cars.........the Chicane that moves lol

I've just tried my car just with 5% power handicap and I'm about 1 tenth of a second slower than I normally would so it's pretty close. Reason being that its easier for me to put the power down so I may need to tweek the set-up a bit. But Adrian and Johnny keep your set-up as it is (if you're happy with it).

Just thinking though, if I finish in the top three at tsukuba, whats gonna happen? Am I going to get another 5% restriction so it'll be 10% or will I be stuck with the original 5% restriction?

It's an additional -5% per consecutive podium. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to reach -95% power handicap!

Im up for that! lol should be fun being the one getting lapped instead of doing the lapping.

testing a number of prototypes for the european season.

Just had a thought! HAHAHA!
Nick is thinking "YES! I haven't got anymore added restrictions and my opposition has". True, but the diesels are less economical than my car. They pitted before me at Motegi. The test I did the other day, my car lasted an entire hour and didn't need to pit. My fuel tank was on the brink of being completely empty after the hour. Apart from Berty and if my calculations are correct of course, the diesels will have to pit and I don't (If it's allowed)! OOH Tsukuba is gonna be a better race than I thought.Its going to be very evenly matched........hopefully. Sorry for my winging chaps. Shows you how much I know........NOT!

Dan i'm about to shoot you down whilst you're flying high here, you have to make one mandatory pitstop

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thats that plan out the window! Just when I'm thinking "OOOH YEAH! OOOH YEAH!" lol

hehe

So its eitehr to pit on the first lap or the last lap then...

2nd or 2nd from last.

slim is right cant pit on the last or the 1st lap guys but way to use your brains for thinking up on strategy, could end up helping you in the long run

i like that mazda

aint we on full damage now? surely u dont want to put a set of tyres threw a whole hour of racing flat out?

tires last absolutely fine right up until you will be out of fuel in FM3 unfortunately ;O(

wohoo another R15 on the grid!

to be honest overtaking is going to be a nightmare

Driving is nightmare enough

guess its about late braking for overtaking plus fast in/out laps

Nah survival.. This is going to be like a 12 round boxing match

I think we are going to see some interesting results...

Chad remember its up to you to pass GT2 cars cleanly, if you dive under someone and take them out there could be a penalty to come of that expecially if you do it more than once, because remember the GT2 guys are to stick to the racing line, YOU have to let them know if you're going to be somewhere so they dont knock you off the track in turn.

Tested the track with Jamie. P1 and P2 so damn close. GT's will be quick and probably competing for position. Track seems like a great leveller.

Late braking and ducking will cause plenty of accidents. Just be patient and pass cleanly.
