Any tips about pit strategy and fuel consumption for the 911's?
Still haven't done one single lap in this track.

The fuel meters are not accurate, that much is certain.

It was an attempt to copy the style of driving Alan Prost ! And I really think he is the best racer in the history of Motorsport !

Me too, at least as far as F1 goes he's always been my favourite driver, more so than Ayrton Senna who was one of the greatest, but probably surpassed by his own legend

Well, that Alan Prost had not seen my driving! He would be devastated ! By the way I am surprised that the HSO is not held championship F1 1985, without a doubt this mod is very good! But that's another story!

At that time I also was fan of Alain Prost, but I must admit that now that I know a little bit more about driving, I must recognize that Senna was «supernatural» although I didn't like his temper.

The hard part for me will be nailing those chicanes correctly.. and quickly.. 42 times in a row. At least I feel reasonably quick on this circuit...

From Nelson (At his peak) I liked very much the personality, he was another hooligan like Hunt and the way he annoyed Nigel Mansell was really funny (Though I also liked Mansell). But I still think that Prost was a better driver. Piquet and Senna probably had a bit more talent, but Prost was so absolutely focused, thinking and cold in his driving, like a machine, that he really was a better driver overall. Beyond a certain level of ability (Which is far from what most of us can ever dream of!) this game is mental, and mentally Prost was better than Senna or Piquet (At least in my opinion, which of course could very well be wrong!).

I think the argument about who was best not fair! I spoke just based on personal preference and not as would not untie the dispute. Not accidentally a time of rivalry of these racers is considered as the Golden period of formula 1 and this is the main thing!!! Sadly, the figures of this magnitude is not in the modern world of motor sport.

One of Senna's great strengths, apart from his ability, was his innate confidence at the wheel. He would whip out from behind backmarkers, pass them, and slam the door on them. The intimidation factor gave him a little extra edge in traffic situations I feel. Prost was never that aggressive, he was far more cautious and calculating.

I still struggle on two turns of this track, the 1st one of course. I watch some other drivers here taking more than 200 in the turn, i did it once at 204 but i cant repeat such speed. And the final turn is a nightmare for me, i almost all the gain of the whole lap here.
Happy though because last night i was stuck in the 1.25.8, today i manage a 1.24.
Anyway, it's a fun track and even if you go off the track you gotta plenty of room to recover. And that 911, 200% fun

hey Laurent, if you're doing a 1.24 with default setup... I think you have a great talent. Me, I had to change and change till feel like I could drive it. Still doesnt go as I'ld like, but... its an old 911 My dampers are 4 in front, and 4-3 on back. Storngest springs possible on front. But as you can see I'm not the fastest
