In my opinion, the Fondmetal is slightly better chassis-wise.

Or you could hope the Lotus boys won't show up at all, that chassis might work rather well in slightly wetter conditons.

Don't worry about this McLaren, dreadfully slow here. Think I am better in the wet than dry ☹

not really expecting to be fast enough to get into the race anyway, but hey as we say here, (literally translated) 'If you don't shoot, you always miss'

second thought after driving both, could i get the #14 Fondmetal instead? i can actually get that around a lap semi succesfully

Well, it's 458 to 413 KW in comparison(Lambo 3512 3.5l V12 VS Ford DFR Hart 3.5l V8), but the Lambo 291 is 22 kg heavier than the Fomet-1.

I think that kinda kills the advantage in power, especially since the race itself would be greasy wettish.

TBH, just stealthily get aboard one of the Lotus cars(haven't seen Victor in a long time now), their Judd EV V8 engine barely puts out more power than the Ford DFR Hart V8(419 to 413 respectively), but it's another 5 kg lighter than the Fondmetal and it's arguably a very good chassis for a backmarker.


EDIT: But hey, I am just geeking out over the car specs here, don't mind me

rip me, but fair enough

You should've tested them a tiny bit more Dylan. Not to mention Adelaide is not a place where I'd race the Lambo if I had the choice. It's a bit... too temperamental here.

The again, it kinda looks cool and sounds nice


Although, it's the last round and I doubt people were really eyeing either car, I'd personally wouldn't mind if you got the Fondmetal instead.

At Phoenix, having the re-branded Osella wasn't that bad as street tracks have their own rules. Driving a slightly less powerful car can actually be beneficial

didn't see that the Fondmetal was free yesterday, else i might have put a bit more thought into it

Whoops

I think Bruno's been missing for some time aswell, that's why the car's open now.


Btw: Not sure if that's a good thing, but maybe using less boost for the twisty bits might make the car less hairy to drive there.


Yesterday, my second qualifying attempt was actually on boost 1 until the back straight, when I noticed the lack of power as I forgot to turn it up before the start of the lap

That actually helped me understeer less, but I am not sure if it equals having less power at your disposal.


Not to mention the Tyrrell uses a Honda V10, which handles differently.

I just realized something during practicing which might cause me to not be able to drive tomorrow... something i feared for when assembling this desk





that is one of the screws that holds my desk to the wall, it's being ripped out by the FFB of my wheel...
shit...



slight edit: going to be seeing tomorrow as quickly as possible whether it's easily fixable, letting something know whether i'll be able to attend qualifying or not.

oh god, incredible times on HL board,

i only hope that today Q will be much better than thursday where i lost more than half of laps by slow moving cars in front,

Philippe Henrique? was you in hot lap or out? if out why not using mirrors?

i was just on my best ever S1 and S2 time and lost it in last segment

Hmm ,had -0,5s on S1 on my last attemp but make 2 mistakes then and lost chance to better place

not happy with Q result a much, maybe my last F1 race in good car and maybe last F1 race here so, the AMS didn suit me (stuuters which tear my brain and wheel problems too)

Starting Grid

Looks like I'll be broadcasting tomorrow...
