Yes, next race looks good. Already my qualifing has gone much, much better than the last race. I need to start getting better results too, otherwise I'll be going straight back down to Rookie. I need results to increase my drivers motivation, which I think can make quite a big difference in pace.
Urgh, just qualified poorly, I think the weight of my driver is holding him back. He should be good next season though when I've shifted the kilos off of him.
I think if we are able to nab a point or two that will be enough to ensure we do not get relegated. That is why I hired a driver with high talent so he will be good in the rain where I think it will be easiest to snatch a point, it almost worked for me last race until my driver made a mistake. In dry I do not think I have got any chance of getting any points, just do not have the pace.
Hoping for a good result for this race, I don't think I'll score point, but near the top 10 would be an improvement. Looking forward to this race what ever happens, it can't be worst that the last one.
Looks like I'm starting 11th, I'd really like to get back to getting points. Frustratingly, I destroyed my opposition in the cup in races 1 and 2, only to find races 3-5 count. He's 1-0 up and starting second - I'm going out!
Oh happy days, finished 5th starting from 16th. Medium tyres paid off, and my first points are on the board.
Well done Dan. My race was as good as could be expected. I had OK pace, started 19th, finished 12th. I did a 2 stopper on soft tryes, and that worked well, but was quite close.
wow after 3 awful races I win my first race, fuel left at the end 0% very lucky I didn't think it would be that tight.
Despite a poor grid slot, I finished third in the end, which I'm very happy with. Unfortunately my opposition in the cup finished second, but never mind! I 2 stopped on the soft tyres. I've convinced (somehow!) my girlfriend to start playing, and I persuaded her to try a different strategy, I had her run a 3 stopper on extra softs, and she went from 17th to 8th, in what looks like a more competitive league. Considering her driver is pretty bad, that probably would have been the better strategy. Next race is thankfully dry again, I'll have to think about strategy later.
Thanks for the data, but be careful with logging on from each others PC's as if GPro see this it will think it's a second account and delete one.
For what it is worth my terrible quali was followed up by a terrible race. Started 38th, finished 29th. I want more wet races.
next race is a coin toss between 2 on mediums or 3 on softs. Im waiting until the top runners in my lobby have qualified so I can see where my practice times stack up, need to be high up in qualifying as my driver always loses 2-4 places at the start. For fuel i'm thinking 242ltrs.
Yeah, I'm aware of that one. I'm making sure we always log on from our own laptops, not each others. Hopefully that should avoid any issues.
From my data I think I could do a 2 stopper on softs, and I'm thinking about it. I think it's more likely that I'm going to do 1 stop on hards. Not sure yet.
From my data, I think the softs could just about stretch to 2 stops, but you'd be nearly at 0% by the time you pit, which might cost time. I've gone for a 2 stopper on mediums, which is fairly conservative, but fingers crossed. Softs will definitely 3 stop, but I'm not sure if the extra softs might too.
It appears that the one stopper on hard tyres is going to go very very wrong for me. In the last couple of races I have just had no pace at all for some reason. EDIT: Thing have gone from bad to worse; pitted due to a technical problem completely screwing up my one stop strategy.
My strategy appears to suck too, qualified 9th and I just keep going backwards. No points for me today!
Bugger! Maybe been a little harsh on my strategy, I was up to 6th at one point, then my car gets an unfixable problem. It's beginning to look like I've underfueled too. Really not going well!
EDIT2: Add to my list or woe; car developing another problem and having to stop right at the end for more fuel. That was one bad race, need to pick my game up.
