I'm sorry to hear that mate.@Daiman Patel : Please, can you sign me out? I can't join the race this time :C
I have added you to the list as a "maybe" for now; hopefully we will see you on track tomorrow evening!I'm in as a maybe. Work has been tough the last few days![]()
No need to apologise mate.Can you sign me out? I'll be out, I'm sorry Daiman, and I just saw that my premium account expired, all backwards![]()
Hi i'm not going to be able to make the race tomorrow
I'm sorry to hear that guys. I shall remove you from the list. We hope to see you both again next week.Hi can you sign me out please![]()
Good to know, I'm looking at the exact same thing now, I just got 46 laps on Race lean with some fuel saving, will need to do a bit more to make the 47 possibly 48 laps it will be, then warm up lap on top of it. going to make for an interesting race! At least it sounds like the Vette and Porsche are in the same boat, hopefully the bmw is the same too.I did some testing and the fuel prediction is way off. In the Porsche the tank limit is 23.8 gallons (60 laps) - but I'm consuming 0.53 in Quali mode, 0.52 in Race mode, 0.51 in Race Lean mode (45-46laps). I think it's possible to do the whole race without refuelling - but will need some fuel-saving.
How did the tires for you guys behave?Good to know, I'm looking at the exact same thing now, I just got 46 laps on Race lean with some fuel saving, will need to do a bit more to make the 47 possibly 48 laps it will be, then warm up lap on top of it. going to make for an interesting race!

There will be plenty of people sharing setups this evening, no doubt!Anyone sharing setups?
Pit stop mandatory?
Some tips for a noob regarding fuel and tyre wear? (short stint best lap: 1:16:639)
It's my first race and I think I'm not considering some aspects that you are already familiar with!
Good luck you all... I will try to survive!![]()
I've actually struggled a lot adjusting to the tyres on these cars compared to urd, enduracers etc.Has anyone done any longer stint tests? For me the suit tire seems to have so minimal wear after 10
How did the tires for you guys behave?
I did some short tests only because I did not have any time and noticed that the wear was minimal even on the soft ones. 10 laps gave me like 10% wear... however once the soft and also the medium tires were mistreated (spin or one a few laps of pushing) they were useless and times would drop so much.
Will they come back if you back off a lot? Are the mediums better? Also, why would you need the hard tire with so little wear?
If someone has time to answer it would be great so we don't go blind into the race.![]()
Thanks Shawn. I guess I have to look into setting tires up now. Hope to find time before the race to do it. Otherwise I will end up ice skating for the last 40 minutes.It definitely seems to be a case of how you treat them more then just straight forward percentage loss of wear, a lot more pressure sensitive I'm guessing, gone are the days of just setting to minimum and going for it.
twitch.tv/racedepartment is where we do our broadcasts' toIs going to broadcast the race live on Twitch/Youtube?
I think this sums it up perfectlyThanks Shawn. I guess I have to look into setting tires up now. Hope to find time before the race to do it. Otherwise I will end up ice skating for the last 40 minutes.![]()
