Hotting up in Abu?

[Jim Hawley]

I see the ambient temp has shot up in the Abu server, does this mean there will be a weather forecast out soon?

Ehh... sorry mates, slow on info here. We'll have the same weather as Pacific did in their race. That means 42 degrees (I think) and declining throughout the session. The one on the servers is the correct one

 

[Joshua Wilson]

track temp gets over 50 degres though..

Is there a weather file for this race ? seeing we cant connect to lobby atm ,just to practise.

 

[Daniel Hansson]

I use the autosim weather generator. It is quite good to just ajust temperatures.

Btw. How long is the race? The 50 laps it says in gpcos doesn't look too convicing. Will it be 38 like fpps?

 

[Tim McIver]

The FPPS is right, 38 laps.

Should you choose to make two pit stops? It takes about 35 to 40 seconds to change tires without refueling.

Hi...
I think u can do it whit one pitstop, but i will be safe to make 2 stop.
I have some problems with my rear tires they get too hot

Use harder tyres and be smooth in your driving style, I managed to do 18 lap (in the hot weather ) with the soft tyre with resonable lap times (thought I am slower than you). If I was racing I would go with the medium, but hard it's better if you are worried of overheating.
