Wanted to be disparaging of the track, the graphics sucks and no track surface texture. However it such a good combo with the car. Technical twisty with decent straights, and have to be careful with the tyres. Tyre management is qoing to be essential.

Yes, the track is quite old, from memory, but I thought the layout would be interesting.

Caveat emptor, apparently my all time average finishing position is 9.7, so...

I have seen a few requests for example laps for the F3, here is a quick run from this afternoon.



Attached is:
setup - all I did was tyre pressure, added 1 click of wing F + R, and softened it up a little (dampers F + R, spring front)
Replay file https://mega.nz/#!9JhlnC6K - the last lap is the better one, the one before was better in Sector 1
Motec data https://mega.nz/#!RcxhnK4b - if anyone is that interested

I am finding pretty much the whole lap around here is about managing the front grip level, there is only really 1 (maybe 2) spots where the rear should be a worry.  Braking points are important and vary with fuel load, seems very sensitive to that around here.

Track grip level will have an impact as will temp.  I don't think anyone will make the Mediums last, they overheat very quickly in S1 and S3.

I think the quali times will be mid 52's.

Good luck.

Nice info AB. I see you have the fastest time on the practice server.

However, thanks for sharing this.

I have no idea when it comes to setups but what I did notice is that the mediums couldn’t last 3 quick laps last night and by my quick I mean, I’m deep into the 56’s so its going to be hard tyres for the race....

Yeah, it'll be hards for most, I reckon.

I'm gloating while I can but I don't feel as confident about this track as I did last week

100%.
i wasnt able to get any real life out of softs.
the mediums were ok but had a very small grip life.
hards are ok but just a bitch to get warm :P
