I’m available for a guest appearance, got to stay away from work as I’m a high risk category with my diabetes Hope you still get paid while off Dave. My work have implemented a split workforce with half in the office one week and half the next and working from home on the off weeks. All a bit surreal isn't it. Just in case you haven't spotted it we run the old chicane onto the start finish straight and not the games official configuration. Tyler's video above highlights this 👍 |

If you guys don’t mind, I would like to volunteer to drive as guest driver.
Due to Corona all our offices are closed, meaning I work from home.
As Zolder is almost in my backyard, it would be a home race.
What kind of times should I look at in practice?

Not sure the times Peter and Tyler are running but make sure you practice with the old final chicane layout as we will be cutting the "official" track and using the old layout to enter the front straight to make it closer to what was used in the era. Tyler has a video in the first post. |

Just saw that one.
Did some practice laps on slicks and got a 1:31.
Those vintage tyres are a different world...

Had my first 15 laps last night with a best of 1:28.346. The chicanes can be tricky but loving the challenge. I think there's another second or so to be found with better turn-in for T1 and 2.

Welcome again to our corner of the internet Joe, it's good to see you signing up for multiple series and giving this one a try too. I'll let you all know what my times are tomorrow after I get in my practicing. |

Turn1 and 2 are indeed most enoying to find good breaking points. Got some funny vibrations on my wheel when turning in on the 'Terlamenbocht', my whole rig vibrates due to the force of the Fanatec. After 30 laps, quickest time was a 1:28.468 Average is about 1:29.5 |

Hey Will, welcome back. This is starting to look like a race now! Probably the only good thing about this crisis is more sim racing time for everyone.
So 1:28.400 is the new benchmark? I'll see what I can do and report back later tonight with my findings

I’m going to do some testing later, if enough people are on we could set a lobby up 👍🏻
