I'm running like 15&12. Only the 1 straight so not a lot of speed needed in straight line. That and the diff to get power down faster helped me

Race is 25 laps, so you can adjust your fuel accordingly.

Thanks I'll give that a try, any idea what diff settings you used, I played about with the one for accel think I turned it up to about 35 but didn't notice much difference, do I need to go higher?
Wed 04 Jan 2017, 22:27
I'm at 25 for that.
Wed 04 Jan 2017, 22:44

I did a few laps tonight and agree dakinca got to take a bit off I think to drive clean laps, think it's going to feel like a long race on Saturday, ( or maybe not if crash out )

Yea might need to run it safe and slow. AKA like our defending series champ.

Just wondering if my team mate (colibrim)gets a special invitation to this weeks race, it will help me in the constructors and hopefully get enough funding to enter the team in the endurance championship

Unfortunately not. He will have to wait until he's rank 60 to enter any level 2 series.

FYI, the GSREC is open rank. So no worries there! :)
