Welcome Sebastian! I haven't changed too much from the default sms loose setup. This track requires driver skill over tuning setup so try and get in as many practice laps, without stopping might I add, in a row as you can without hitting anything. It's going to be a long and tough race so it's first better to concentrate on being consistent over being fast. Grip shreds away pretty fast on the soft compound tyre so a slightly higher wing is actually better for longer stints here. It's a 48 lap race so you'll need to fill the gas tank which can hold about 26 laps and set your pit strategies ahead of time adding in fuel and making sure the tyre pressures are the same as they are in your tuning setup.Good info Tyler. Unfortunately with everything going on at home and work this week I've not managed to get in any race practice at all. Longest runs i've done were in the lobby session on Wednesday with just 10 laps of fuel and I did about 4 or 5 laps in one run. Going to be an interesting first few laps adjusting to the heavy car. I'll be happy to get through unscathed and maybe do the same as LeMans and keep it clean and jump those that have problems during the race. Of course it's much more difficult to do that on this circuit lol

I've been thinking about qualifying. It needs to be long enough to do 2 slow safe laps. 10 min? - Lap 1. Everyone must get in order and stop before the finish line. - Lap 2. We all need to set off as close as possible. Then space out ensuring your doing a lap slower than the guy in front. If you start with a big gap it will be harder to judge if your going faster. - Stay off the walls and each other.

I've been thinking about that too Greg, the leader has to tell us his lap time, then 2nd, and so on so that way the person behind can make sure their time is slower. This might end up being a headache if not done correctly

If you start the lap on the bumper of the guy in front of you it should be real easy. You shouldn't need to know anyone else's time. Just start the lap and back everyone up behind you. Then proceed without closing the gap ahead. It should be ok. Even if last place has to do a 4min lap because he's been so backed up. He only needs to start on the bumper of 2nd to last. Everyone do your backing up after turn 1.

Just the 2nd OT game in this championship. Figures. Very slight chance I can make it, but fingers crossed

I’ve put a formation lap on Gents, so no need to use the qualifying trick
Cheers

Something we could work on to make it a bit cleaner if a race is a standing start. The grid lights and false starts are a big thing with those.
