Available as reserves if needed.

I've added you to the reserves list and these places re generally allocated towards the end of race week so check back ok. We have had spaces open the last few weeks so chances are you will get a race.

Did some testing today, but the first half of the race really is giving me problems.

Softs are overheating within 3 laps, but those hard tires feel terrible. After the sun goes down it’s an easy choice to go to softs, but no idea what to do for the first 30/40 minutes.

Below a screenshot of my stint on hards

I was actually going to ask how everyone's doing so far with testing, I'm with you when it comes to issues though...

I've been running the hards mainly so far and once they've got heat in them the car feels fairly good in mid to high speeds, but it's so finnicky in the slow stuff. Just plowing like hell then snapping if you so much as look at the throttle. I can feel the speed in it, and it's manageable but it's making it difficult to push the car consistently. my best lap with high fuel was like a mid-high 2:06 or so. Have you just been struggling with tires Joeri, or do you think its more than that?

If the options are only light cloud and heavy cloud I think it's probably just light clouds for the middle period of the race. Looks like 2/thirds of the race is sunny so three slots clear, light cloud, clear maybe or 4 slots with clear, light cloud, light cloud, clear.

No biggie though, happy to go with whatever.

EDIT: Just checked and options allow medium cloud which I think would fit with the partly sunny part of the race weather.

Thanks, was really aiming for consistent times for the full stint.
I ran the softs only for about 4-5 laps and a full tank. Think it’s possible to drive high 2:05 - mid 2:06 on them and later when it’s dark drop those times by half a second.

That's a bit closer to the times I managed in my only practice so far but my best was only 2:09 so I've still got a long way to go to get down to the pace that's being indicated so far. I'll hopefully get a couple more practices in before Saturday although if we get shutdown here in the UK I might get more time than I anticipate.

Interesting about the fuel saving... Looking at the numbers from my short test I'm not sure it could work for me. Race is going to be about 42+ laps based on those times being reported and I'm getting about 33-35 laps out of a full tank so that's a lot of saving would be needed. What's your fuel rate so far?

Be good to see more pre-race progress reports from everyone as that's been a bit lacking so far this series and always adds an extra dimension and bit of fun to the build-up 👍 Good to see two of the new guys (Joeri and ian) steering it for this race. Fingers crossed it prompts others to do likewise. We'll done guys 👌
