How do these patches get released if they’re clearly not ready? Or are these issues a result of the settings we’ve had to use in the past not working like they used to? No idea Dave.. but tbf we don't really know whether this was the patch for sure or just another of those random bad nights we seem to get. Just seems a bit of a coincidence. I hope the concern proves unfounded anyway and that Saturday goes off smoothly for you all. I'm going to get on tonight before my F1 practice to check out whether the lobby creation is still an issue so i'll let you know. It might be an idea for several guys to have the lobby settings already saved and ready so you can have alternative hosts quickly able to try if there are problems.

That's a good idea, I'll tune that up on Saturday.

I managed to get on for a quick test last night and was able to create a couple of lobbies without a problem but of course there was no else around to see if the invite's would work or the lobby had problems with anyone's connection.
Fingers crossed it will be good for you tomorrow.

Awesome I’m hoping to get on today try tune some extra speed into the Astra, never tuned before so wish me luck I would ask for advice but wouldn’t know if the competitors were giving me a bum steer lol The best advice I can give you is don’t try to change too many things at once, drive 10-12 laps and get a feel for how the car behaves and what you would like to improve, when you’ve made the changes drive the car in exactly the same way for another 10-12 laps and see if the changes have improved the handling and lap times. Consistent driving in testing is the key. The rule of thumb is that tight, twisting circuits require the car to be softly sprung and faster, flatter circuits need a stiffer spring setup. If you get stuck change things back and start again but remember that any setup on a race car is a compromise between speed and handling so a fast car is harder to drive than a sweet handling car. If you have any questions then please ask and we’ll do our best to help

I'll gladly help, no shenanigans...maybe😏. It's just that we're in different cars that will make it slightly difficult. Although I consider myself a novice tuner, i'm beginning to understand more and more as I go. Rich & Dave are definitely the go to guys for setups and understanding the cars, but if you have questions i'll try my best to lend a hand!

What sort of times is everyone posting? I haven't gotten in but about an hour of practice for today's races. My best is a 49.5 and I can't keep up with the AI at 120/50. Their out of corner acceleration is mad.

Their out of corner acceleration is mad. My best is a 47.7 and, Wonka Dan is a 47.6 and Stormtrooper has squeezed a 47.4. My race pace at its best is between 48.0-48.7 At this circuit layout I feel won’t produce the fastest lap times during the race as a result of the tightness in car proximity. Can’t wait!

Brands Hatch Weather Partly Cloudy with some sunny spells Zero chance of rain. Brought this post here as I think it should probably be in this race thread rather than the overall series sign-up.

My mother just fell and looks like she broke her nose. Taking her to ED right now. I’ll try to hurry, but if I’m not back in time don’t wait on me.
