I've been thinking about the race and was wondering if we should scrap the AI for this round only (the following 2 events at Monaco and Zolder already won't have AI) to ease Tyler and Shad into the League. That way everyone can earn points as long as they finish the race and Tyler/Shad won't get suprised by some of the dumb crap the AI can pull lol.

I'm ok with leaving the AI out. I think they are a little slow here anyway. I had a practice race with them yesterday and they were only turning 206s. The fastest AI lap was a 2:05.6 and i was in the 2:02s

I got in about a dozen laps this morning and with a little tweaking and practice I managed a high 1:59. It feels so understeery around this place and I really have to whip the wheel around.
It takes a few laps to get the tyres up to temp, the front left will be the first to do so, i'm consistent in the high 2:00 - 2:02s. But man, the corners feel like they take forever, i'm running something like 8/7 or 8/8 downforce. Too much more and the drag on the straights is boringly slow lol. Hopefully the race will produce as much action as the Touring Cars did last year.

Yeah similar Tyler, i'm in the 1:59's and I think things will be pretty close tonight. I have managed a 1:58.2 in TT but made a mess on my final lap when 8/tenths up two corners from home lol so 1:57's are definitely possible.

Nice Peter, you're on fire this season. That pace is going to be very hard for me to keep up with. I can't remove too many more sandbags from my car either, I need some of the sand for my cats!
We can't let Pete win a triple guys, how are you doing here Greg?

We can't let Pete win a triple guys, how are you doing here Greg? lol I am not as confident for this race as the previous 2 rounds tbh Tyler and fully expect us all to be fairly close in pace. The test will be as the race goes on as I have yet to do more than the first ten laps of a practice race. |

I don't think I'll be seeing the 2:00s let alone below that. I dont mind this track and it's layout but I've never had good pace here in anything.

The corners here are slightly misleading. They may seem simple enough on paper, but many of them look almost identical and it's easy to lose where you are if you're not paying close attention.
There are a ton of different lines you could take with the over abundance of kerbs around the track. That's what throws me off and it's hard to settle on one consistent line, not to mention some of the mid corner shifts which im trying to avoid.

Those kerbs can drag you off if you get the line just slightly wrong. It's certainly going to be an interesting one that's for sure.

I’m sorry for the cancelation but I won’t be able to participate in this series anymore because of school.

You can say that again about the number of lines through the corners. Miss a breaking point and you're taking the wide line.
The understeer is difficult to contend with.

Alright, should I add AI back in if it's just the 5 of us? I raced with them at 100/40 and they were still in the 2:04s and 5s

I feel like we should give Vdub Tyler 4th place and Greg 5th place points, it's not fair to them that they were hit off by the AI. This way they didn't race for nothing and didn't feel like they wasted their time.
The extra traffic on the grid is nice, but they just don't make rational enough decisions and end up taking away from what they originally were planned to add to the Championship.

Totally agree Tyler. The AI are there to spice things up a bit but not at the expense of the human drivers. Anyone sticking it out for the entire race deserves to pick up some reward for their efforts. I do like having them in the races but man when you are leading they do give you a palpatations when you see them up ahead and can destroy the little gaps we are fighting hard to create during the race lol |
