Monza's always an interesting compromise between lo and hi downforce. I think in general, low  downforce will be the way to go, with that long straight.

I'm going out on a limb here and saying I'll be in the DMT for the rest of the season. I don't know, I've just got a hunch.

See you all at T1...

I've seen through your team's fiendish strategy ;)
Good thinking.

I'm looking forward to this track having the GrpA's and DTM's.  I think there will be quite a mix up during the race and a lot of battles.  Would be nice if we get online slip-streaming in Saturday's update so I can hang onto the back of the DTM's as they fly past :)

Hehe will be praying for that as my slight advantage of a dtm last round has unfairly been taken away now lol. Just checked RSR times and theres 4 seconds and 15kmh between them here. Being a fairly straight forward layout with long straights I dont think I will be beating any dtms that stay on track this round but should be quite fun being pack in the pack this time.

lol because I found a nice setup that worked for me... I just played with tires, gearing (a touch) and fuel loads... all the rest might as well be swahili  :-[

so now a bit of a look online before the origin...

Far out... I need to get way faster then in the GRA... my PB is so far a 2:07 and I'm 5.5 secs off the WR on RSRLiveTiming  :o

Haven't found a setup yet so I'm bumbling along on it myself...

Very hard to say the RSR best times are 1:58.32 in the DTM and 2:02.298 in the grp A, Im far from a Monza specialist so am struggling to find speed and my setup has got a bit of work to get close to that as I havent run many laps but am more then 2 seconds off the pace still.

Any consistant laps under 2:04 will pretty much have most group A's covered but Darren is a Monza master so I have no idea what his pace will be except it will be probably a second faster then me if not more.  :)

I havent tried much yet but nothing really worked as yet so I am a bit lost too this week. I havent really bothered with running hotlaps more just race pace and then hope to go faster with less fuel later or Im way off if not lol.

Just tore up the asphalt, using Rolz's Silverstone International set up for the DTM. Cause that's all my mechanics could BF doing

2:03.5..

i'm sure that 155 is bad code or a bug.. should have a lot less numbers in it..

come at me punks!!...  :P

Wait.... The race is more than 2 laps?? *sigh..
