Had a good shot on it tonight, first time in a while! Look to be running 2.03 / 2.04 in race pace. Ran a 2.02 for qualifying. Car is nice but need to work on setup. Good news Rich 👍. Those times are around about where we all are.. well that's where I was when I was able to race!! I'm pretty sure I would need a session or two to get back there now though. Thanks- good to be back! I think if we're all about those times then we could maybe gain something in setup. Looking forward to a team session! Hope the shoulder and back is better mate.

Nice - I'll try to get on for a bit too. I'll be later than 7PM, but not too much later I hope. If I see you on, Wayne, I'll add you to a Party.

Wayne and I managed a good session tonight. Turns out I was using the Evo rather than the other GT3 but I've changed over and running much the same times.
Some good racing tonight, cheers for that mate.
Hope to see the rest of you soon. Let me know if you're on at all over the weekend.

I’m going to be giving it a first go since my shoulder and back issue started on Sunday afternoon all being well. I’m not particularly hopeful though as I had a spin on Monday in pCars with very light FFB and it was still a struggle. Having low FFB makes you realise how much you need to have that feel from the wheel as it’s very lacking in knowing what the car is doing when it’s not there.

Wrapping up the Holiday weekend here. If I am able to be here, I'll most likely be later in the evening EST.

How did it go last night.. many join you in the lobby? Have you managed to test out the driver swap scenario yet? It was just me and Rich last night Peter, as Wayne did the practice on Friday as he was not able to make it this weekend. The changes on toe setup and tyre pressures that Wayne posted on the XRF Team Chat are very good to increase top speed and to keep the momentum in some corners. I encourage you all to try them. Only donwside is that you might get some mid-corner oversteer but then you can quickly adapt no it no mayor issues. Pace with the 2020 track is getting better and better, Rich and I were equal on pace and we did all the race low 2'03s and some high 2'02s. As the season opener is quickly approaching I would urge to put an "official" test next week to try the driver swap system and to determine the stints we are doing. With the pace I've seen from everybody I'm confident to have a solid race as a team. Cheers

Bryan and I had a good session with some good racing. As he says, we're all pretty much on pace with each other which is good news.
I watched the driver swap video - it looks bananas
We need to practise this as I cannot see how it works properly.

I think that the video makes you over think the whole process. We have good communication and that's what this needs to work properly. That being said, I believe that Perfect practice makes perfect. So, practice it is. We will work it out. Now, I believe that we need to pick a driver to set our pace in the Hot Stint. 10 min.

Practice is the way forward.
If we're able to get on as a team then we can talk about Hot Stints then?
Also is it possible to share the setups in ACC? I don't think it is but I'm probably missing something there

I don't think it is but I'm probably missing something there If you are missing it, then so am I. All the sites that I have used for Set up suggestions have the setups laid out. You can copy them that way, by hand. I have not found any way to share them.

Could we organise something for this Saturday? I'm in London the rest of this week so I'll not be on but I should get back Friday night and then be available on Saturday.
I could be on for about 8pm GMT?

I could be on for about 8pm GMT? I could make it then. I would be around for about an hour, 90 minutes, before I have to head to work.

I can be there no problems So guys I think I have figured out the driver swap system finally and it is really easier than we thought, I would like to discuss it to you before we turn the wheels on the Saturday group chat and then test it maybe a couple of times, it would be as simple as having good communication between the 2 drivers that are going to make the swap. Asked on the discord about the monitoring of the system and it will be covered, broadcast guys will check that the swap is legit by all drivers. No timing issues as basically the guy that crosses the line first at the end of the final stint wins the race and so on Now into the other open matter.... who would make the "Hot stint"

Perfect, let's aim for Saturday night then folks.
Sounds good Bryan. You can take the lead on the swapping ai we can blame you when it goes wrong ;-)
Is the Hot Stint for qualifying position?
