I’m going to do some testing later, if enough people are on we could set a lobby up 👍🏻 What time will you be online? Can check the boss of the house, if I am allowed to do some testing 😜

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 Think about that benchmark again 😉 Unfortunately there's a chance I'll not be available while this lockdown in the UK is on. I'll be working from home while it's going on and the schools networks are being overloaded so some of my work may have to be done at night. At least there are a few more people on the grid to minimise potentially losing my car if it comes to that.

Took a screenshot of your settings at Brno and worked on that one to built a decent tune for Zolder. Just set a 1:27.260 😇

There's a good bunch here though so you'll get some good racing whoever is on the grid 👌

Actually just realised it's a 9pm start again this week isn't it... That makes it even more of an issue 😏

I peddled in about 8 laps just now and managed a best of 1:29.802. I'm consistent around the 1:31 mark and don't think i'll be able to work much more out of the car than that.
The corner Joeri was talking about with the wheel shake is the toughest corner for me, and definitely something can be done around turn 1 and 2 to improve my time. I'm curious as to what downforce is everyone running? I'm at 15/16

I'm curious as to what downforce is everyone running? I'm at 15/16 I was running downforce at 7/7. Car is a bit more twitchy and you miss about .2 seconds on turn 3 and .1/.2 on the tricky corner, but you make up a lot of time on the exits of the chicanes and following straights. If I see some time during the day, I will upload my set-up but it matches for 80% the Brno set-up of Peter.

I felt this was a good baseline to go for at Zolder. Twitch link

Hey Karl, Been a bit a manic couple of days 😮 I'm going to try to get on and take part but tbh I'm shattered already 😵😴 Had about 2 hours broken sleep last night, very busy day today, just had something to eat and catching my breath for a bit now. I'll just see how it goes.

Excellent race everyone, it couldn't have been done without all of your support so I really thank you all for your participation in the event.
Karl needed that win as it moves him closer to Peter and I for the fight in the championship. Greg and Karl keep switching from 3rd and 4th place almost every race and i've finally managed to take the lead in the championship, for now.
Peter is only behind by 2 points and so far after the next race, only Karl, Greg and I will lose a few points as our worst result of the first half of the season is removed from our scores. Greg is still right behind Karl so the championship is starting to close up between the four of us and is still up for grabs for anyone.
Tyler Smith continues to finish consistently and could very well come out of nowhere to catch us, good effort again tonight. I'm gutted for you Dave and Joeri, and I thought you had that one Joeri, you were definitely the fastest man on track and you were able to hold it together for a solid 4th place finish and 3 points, well done.
Greg and I were very close the entire race, too close at one point lol (it happens! ), but he also pushed me metaphorically into concentrating/focusing better which I was then able to manage a 1:28.5 for a best lap sometime during the race. He did breathe down the back of my neck many times and it was tough holding it together with my teammate in my mirrors most of the time and I did miss some of my marks, but I managed a 2nd place finish which I also wasn't expecting.
Stay safe and well everyone, the best way to beat the virus is lots of liquids and sleep.
