to those complaining about tire wear or wondering whether you have to pit. based on GT3 cars the Z4 can do 35 laps on full fuel and other cars are similar, this means every gt3 car will have to pit no matter what, tire wear wise every gt3 car can go past the half way mark with medium and hards. as tire wear doesnt effect as much as fuel when wearing it wont be as big of an issue in a 1 hour 30 race turned off.

Project cars tire and fuel wear does nothing I did a 2.0.7 with 130 L of fuel and my best is a 2.0.2.

thats why its not an issue with tire wear off. also with not having to change tires it wont do that mishap where your crew loose a wheelnut if it still occurs. not sure how your only loosing 0.5, i was going from low 58's to low 59-s

Only one of the team members has to qualify, if you were both to qualify your fastest time between use would be taken

So how exactly are the results going to work? Do we just have our 2 positions added together for an average finishing position in our lobby?

by LMR Deftone MX Tue 14 Jul 2015 - 1:31

The time it takes you to complete each stint is added up for a grand total. We will have a thread posted explaining in detail how this will work.

Team mate is looking for a driver. Is anyone willing to drive a BM Z4?

by EVR Chiraq Tue 14 Jul 2015 - 16:34

Will there be a thread for people who need to find teammates? My teammate is on holidays...

Everycar has a different fuel load, bentley has 130L, Z4 has 105. it depends on how much fuel they use so in balance they run out at a similar time.

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 4:19

Huh..... thanks didn't know that Smile

by **Ax4x Bandit** Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 6:14

Does the mean stint one is 15 minutes?

by ShrinkingSteven Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 14:35

stint one starts at 3pm im guessing.

by **Matt** Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 14:40

Yup - so depending on where you are in the US it's an hour earlier than usual. (7PM UK time)
Stint 1 will finish at 8.30pm.

For those interested, here's the results for the last two Silverstone 500 events

2015 - http://www.britishgt.com/results.php?season=2015&event=3&session=Race%201%20Result

Any track limitations on old turn 1 since there is a white line following the run off to make it clean? and what about the last turn?

by **Matt** Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 17:02

The track inspection will be posted in due course but from my own experience of the circuit in terms of race control key areas to avoid will be;

- Abbey run off
- Aintree exit
- Copse exit
- Stowe exit
- Club exit

A number of these I believe do give penalties anyway for track limits but lobby hosts will be able to monitor cars during the session for limits too.
I think Copse and Club are probably the most enticing. So please try to avoid those.

by **Simply Law** Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 17:46

Uhm, a lot of us aren't familiar with those corner names

by LMR Deftone MX Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 17:52

Yes sorry guys will post the track inspection later today. Sorry for the delay on that.

by LMR Deftone MX Wed 15 Jul 2015 - 17:54

For those qualifying in a couple hours - If you don't run 4 wheels over the red & white curbing, you'll be fine.
