Hi  I get checksum error.......

You need the track and the update from the link Wally posted, also need to extract the update second. Thats why I made a second download including both, If you already have the track from the first post then you will just need the small update.

I updated the download link in the 1st post to point to Marty's combined zip file.

In both races, you have to use a set of soft tyres, as well as a set of hard tyres. There is no refuelling allowed.

Seems mediums are the best tyres for this combo but we dont get to use them in the race, mediums for me are faster then softs and last much longer, hards dont get to temp so are slower and will grain in a long run. Either way you dont want to be on the softs or the hards for too long.

One other thing I noticed in this car even with AC main volume at 1 I cant her chit incar when driving.

IF we race this car on the season, it won't always be softs and hards. It will be various combinations of compounds.

IF we race this car on the season, it won't always be softs and hards. It will be various combinations of compounds.

Every track and weather combo will have a different optimal tyre, I prefer the 2016 tyre rules where only 1 compound was compulsory such as the hards here and you could use whatever other compounds you brought for the round. Not having to start on the qualy tyre would make it unlikely you would want to race on the softest compound but if hards were the only tyre you had to run and 2 different compounds it would mean people could change strategy up a bit more.

This round though if compounds were open most would go medium and hard and so soft and hard will spice it up a bit more as neither is optimal and can open strategy up more.

Laptime wise I was pretty close to the same on SS, soft and medium all in the low 1:18's but the hards at least 1 second slower then the softs so it will mix the pace up nicely which should make the racing interesting.

Hello all! I am finally back. I'll try to be ready for the fun run. But I will have to miss the opening race of season 15, as I'll be on a proper holiday in Tasmania.

Happy new year!
