Round 1 - United States GP [Jan 13th]

There is a 2 hours limit yes.

WOOO!!!

So shocked that I have found that time in the AGS. The 'shopping trolley' as it shall now be known, has the problem of having such a shocking chassis that the tyres scrub no matter what so I have to do the worlds SLOWEST out lap. I managed to get 2 solid laps, a spin and one Mclaren stopping in front of me on a lap (not directly but close enough to leave me clenched).

To be where I am now is fantastic as open wheelers are so not my best area. The setup is weird as I imagine Tiago can confirm but for me and the bus it works just fine.

Might try to find a couple of tenths come saturday but the AGS will have to live further back in the race as putting any fuel in causes all kinds of issues but consistency should pay off on the day.

Well done everyone who has qualified so far. Anyone who doesn't have an old cossie in their car feel free to donate a functional engine.

Oscar

Indeed. I invite you all to read the rules.

The Dallaras boys are far from there ideal lap

The last sector, every time I made a mistake through there.

I guess unless someone we know already picks it for a single race we will not see it in any session.

Haven't even though about my strategy during the race.

Hmm, survive the first corner?


Btw: Greg, do you want to work together? Although there's not much I can offer right now

Never made a consistent lap throughout the whole quali, and was still "exploring" Oscar's setup. Still, managed to do a reasonbale time and hopefully will be enough to take part in the race.

Oscar: Your setup is not as bad as you think, but it needs a new approach in my driving style; in some turns the car suffered from the weirdest understeering I've ever seen.

I'll make some tweaks on it for the race because I think it has potential

Hey, I would love to race in this season as it's my favourite mod.. I did do a one off race with them here in a rubbish car and was doing great (about 11th place I think) until I ran out of fuel (doh) . But yeh if there's a free space I'd love to race in these cars I wouldn't be able to make the saturday nights because of work but I can do thursdays* and sundays

There are no cars free for the season atm, but you can join Sunday's race with the free Jordan. Unless you can't qualify the car in tonight's session.

Considering the only reason it's free is that Yoann won't be able to make the race, I'm sure that we will see it again..

N'ayant pas pu participer à la Q1 de jeudi soir (répétition d'orchestre), je ne serai malheureusement pas parmi vous pour la Q2 de ce soir (1er concert ce soir à 20h !).

Je ne pourrai donc être présent qu'à partir de la séance libre avant le warm-up (après le 2ème concert de dimanche après-midi), en espérant une hypothétique qualif de dernière minute !

Eddie Jordan va pas être content s'il n'y a pas de Jordan sur la grille !

Would happily race this weekend luckily it is my week off work this week so I can qualify tonight also! If anyone cant manage to race future events I would happily take their place in one off races

Alright so do I book the free Jordan for you ? Btw can you please edit your profile, with a space between your first and last name

But since I posted this here in this thread, I thought it was self-explanatory that I only meant for this race Guess not

Jon's lucky to have made 3 races already in comparison to the new guys. I see he has been driving the poor Footwork once

Btw Jon: Please pick Gachot plus the texture livery for the first GP

Yes I did quite well in the last one apart from running out of fuel, was gutting as I was in like 12th place and sure no problem

Yesterday I plaxed a little with mixture and race setup...and I really havou doubts about possibility to finish the race : With mixture set on 2, consumption is cca 3L per lap...so, no chance to finish 82 laps...what the hell should I do???

Frist calculate how many laps you can do in 2 hours (race limit).

Regear the car and change your low end shift patterns.
