Did a 1.32.2 but felt there was more in it, managed to get the car working over the curbs and that's where all the time is here really.

That's the set for those interested, im not sure which way to go with wings I had 18f and 22r on that lap but I also didn't mind 16 15

Out of interest, what did you adjust for the kerbs? Fast dampers? Camber?

Hey Wally.

I need to help the old boy make the vino tomorrow night. Sorry about the late notice but only got the call today and I'm not sure when we'll be finished. I'm happy for you to give my spot away, maybe to Grubbet?

Best of luck all for the final race.

Cheers
Fabs

I found softening the roll bars to be the biggest help, I started with 30f 3r and i could barely touch the curbs and as soon as i started to drop the bars i noticed I could take more kerb. I settled on 10 and 1 it can still bite but a majority of the time it sticks.
do you even motorsports?

I PB'd on Birds and thought sweet, then had a go on Matthew111 and PB'd on warm up lap and smashed it by .5 next lap...

both are tops, but I seem to feel more comfortable on Mathew's.
It is more forgiving on kerbs for my type of ragged driving  :P

though now I'm warmed up I will give Birds another good solid go before making decision for tomorrow  :)

Yep, I'll add you to the grid. It will be good to see how your NBN goes.

My last update before crashing out... pun intended  :P

Bacchulum/Bird's wins with a few mods to my liking

I found Birds felt fast down the straight, but ran out of 6th right at the end of the straight so I upped it one click.
I liked Matthew111's kerb forgiveness so I put Birds roll to 10f and 1 rear and overall I improved again...

comfortably in the 35's and I can taste the 34 if I put a clean consistent lap together...

I won't be a threat to the quick guys, but I'm guaranteed to have fun  ;D

cya tomorrow!

Sounds very similar to me Rolz!
I just couldn't tweak my set to a fast lap (soft set was good for the curbs but so slow...), went to Birds set and also upped the 6th gear a notch and after a couple of laps, just scrapped into a 34 hooray!!  :D.
Will have to try out Matthew's tonight pre-race.

Yeah sorry guys, I forgot about the DRS, so the car was prolly maxing out due to that... :/

I'll give those softer rollbars a go, it sounds good to be able to curb.  Altho it can mean that you get used to it, and it's enough if it bites you once during the race...so maybe it's just better to avoid them completely.

Don't forget fuel is at 1.5x, which gets you around 14 laps.
