Training

Sorry to make you scared, but I'm in the 48s too

Yeah I had guessed so, sorry I haven't metioned you and a few others Nick

No problem! I hadn't expected you to expect me to be in the 48s anyway

To tell you the truth Toyota is not the ideal car for Suzuka, 48's will be a strech.

Note for Damian : Please use a player profile Damian Gosztyla, stating your first name and surname in the right fields.

Thanks

Why a note for me?, I have been doing this long enough, I think I know how it goes.

I think that's because you came on the server using "OATAS" instead of your real name

This is annoying, if it wasn't you, it means that someone who hasn't registered to the championship is using our server with the player name OATAS.

Hmm... You know, for the amount of time you spend turning here, it's surprisingly easy on the tyres.

I've managed a 1:48.533 driving pretty conservatively about three laps into a stint, so I think there's definitely room for some high, maybe low 1:47's.

Toyota on the other hand is a tire eating monster. Right front locks up no matter what I do to the set up. Its the first time I can not apply full brake going into a corner.

you are all dammn fast !

1'51"6 for me with the sauber today .

I did 1 49 9 after my first serious laps on this track with our Porsche Toyota, maybe i'll get close to 1'48s until Saturday

To be honest, there's no way this race is going to be about raw pace anyway - the track is too narrow and there's going to be far too much traffic. Just up to the driver to not make mistakes - it's going to be tough to get the time back.

The practice server is now running on Magny-Cours

Did somebody already tried this track ?

I did 1'28"4, I should be able to go in 1'27. Another anti-Toyota track

I have made 1'29"6.
Should be able to improve a little until the race.
My setup is not the definitive one.

I'm in the low 27s, 26s should be possible.

It's a very risky track. I wonder if I can make it to the end without crashing, I think not

1'28"7 this evening.

Very difficult track. Narrow. It will be difficult to see the finish line.

I just can't heat my left tires properly
I don't know why

Your left tyres? That's strange since they get quite a bit of beating during the lap! Adding a bit of tyre pressure can up the temps a bit, but don't add too much because then the middle of the tyre will get too hot.

Wow that's a nice time Manu, you're making fast progress

Thanks guillaume.
Unfortunately, I just can make that every lap.
But I am regularly on 1'29" if I stay on the track

I have to say that I my lap times have really improved when I have decided to run with very high wings.
46° on the rear. Otherwise, it is definitely to tricky to take the chicanes.
I also tried with 39, but I was only on 1'30"
I don't know if it makes sense, but it works for me.

Regarding my tires, i have given some more pressure on the two left tires. I goes better with front left.
But my tires are in the range 160-170, which is surely not so hot to provide the car with maximal grip.

For sure, I will not be so fast during the race. As always, I will just try to have some fun and finish.

Just in case, my replay and setup.
