My back has been killing me for some time now. I can't sit properly, not to mention press the brake pedal...

Need to skip this race. ;(

 Ohh crap not good, take care . I cracked a disc open a couple years ago, the only time i was allowed to sit down was on the lo . It took six months to recover   So be careful .

Yeah this is a bitch! I've met a physio though and looks like it's not a cracked disc, but a mild slip or such causing ischias nerve pain. Certain stretches do help and it's definitely getting better now. I've had this since the beginning of the summer but it got really bad couple weeks back when I was fixing the summer house roof. Now I spend most of the days laying on the floor. :/

Raced in Monza with painkillers but it's worse now.

Samuli, I myself have a disc hernia since 2007, and I can understand you well as the pain can be really excruciating. The good news however is that if you act consequently and do regularly sport and stay fit, the problem becomes minimal  Check with a doctor what you really have ASAP, but don't worry even if you had an hernia, as it will improve a lot with some simple care

Second that motion here. My back hates me but as long as I stretch it often it leaves me alone. I dread flying though.

Seeing the Mustang you own, I bet I know the reason of your back injury - the acceleration must be column vertebrae breaking

Hoping to fare better than Mansell did in the actual 1991 race...

I just bought it. The torque pulls a nice traction effect on my back if I lean the seat back and hammer drop the clutch (with stability control turned off).

The Pirelli P-Zeros it comes with are not going to last long.

Quali launched!

 

Don't run me over  

dis donc ça a pas trop changé ici
les tops pilots sont toujours devant et les tops teams toujours aussi loin derriere  
je suis plus étonné d'etre le 1er de ces derniers mais ce n'est que la 1ere séance...

Anyone willing to share setup tips? I'm using the same set at each track, just changing wing settings and gearing. If it were that easy in Formula 1 technical directors would be out of work....

I think I'm in the 40s for wings front and rear, and have lowered 5th and 6th gear a bit from Monza. Suspension same as Monza.

On the cusp of the 1:17s in qually trim, but of course would like much more.

So far the best set I have has the front sway bar disconnected, and that just sounds....wrong.......

Absent ce soir pour la qualif mais normalement présent dimanche soir en fin de grille

Not going to make Quali tonight, but guessing there shouldn't be a problem with attending the race tomorrow, unless everyone randomly decides to reappear again.  

franck labedan garde sa voiture , present demain

Very happy with that qual. Finally able to use wing strat someone told me.

Yves nicked me by .04 on his third run. Nicely done Yves.

Your time was awesome Mike-I would have been over the moon with your time...

Happy with mine..I'm not 100% confident with my set-but tis good...

Its going to be tight at the front for times...very crowded in 1:16s...

I'm happy with managing a 16.9 in hotlapping when my PB was a 16.7  

On the other hand I'm unhappy with myself for not unlocking the potential of the car but then again, first time in the Ferrari this week with about 8 hours of driving with it. I bonded with it quite quickly, now I'm just looking to try and get something more out of the car that I know is in it  

Well done everyone, some really good times when I was able to join, unfortunately a bit late which didn't help my trying to get a PB in

Thank you James

I'm usually not a hotlapper so I'm looking forward to the race but then again, this track invites for misstakes so it will be a difficult, but hopefully, fun race tomorrow

Sorry guys going to pull out of this one, made other plans that clash with the race. See you next time!

Thx and WD Mike too.
Not .04, but 0.005 !

My Qualifying Lap  



Hope you enjoy the ride and I was on the edge but I think I managed to keep 2 wheels on the tarmac at all times, if not, then please send me backwards on the grid so that it is fair for everyone
