Bad luck Aiman, Im just lucky that I got held up by the 599's in the last race and so my lap times were not great that race. Had I not made a mistake and had a couple clearer laps catching back up I would have never got under a 1:50 in race 2 even though same setup I could have ran mid 1:47's at the end of the race.

I thought Bird had asked to stay in the MP4 since he loved it so much :))

I've managed to tame it, indeed. It's not really love yet ☺. Although a faster car will be much more advantageous at spa, even moreso at monza.

Kowabunga! Get to drive my loverly Blue #13 599! And Spa, one of the track that is always a joy to drive… hard practice for me after Thursday’s Cobra Cup in the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C at Watkins Glen for an exciting 24 lap one race season finale!  (oh sorry an unsolicited ad!  ;D)

I take it we are enforcing the Drive through penalty this round, Spa will mean you need to be a little careful during the race to avoid the cuts. I think thats a good thing as lots of time can be gained going outside track limits at most sections of the track. If the app forces you to take more caution through Eau Rogue, Blanchimont etc to make sure you stay inside the track limits thats a good thing.

No way of enforcing cut penalty and lap invalidation in qualy but maybe Wally may give a race points penalty for anyone that sets their fastest lap on a cut. Not sure if his log Parse identifies laps people cut on but if it does it should be quite possible to automate and see who isnt running the app while also seeing who made an illegal qualy lap.

All of the above. I just want to make a few little changes to the app first.

Tried the Evora GX in Spa , its not that bad , managed 2:18.9 in Spa with it... its weird this car doesnt have any ABS or TC so have to watchout with brakes.. even at low downforce this car seems to be stable.

Wow, nice time Aiman. You are in the slowest car and still faster than me in the M3!! Looks like I've got a lot of work to do.

I just had a few test laps in the 599 at Spa, with minor setup adjustments & softs I was good for a 2:15.4.
P.S. this car is awesome to drive.  It eats up curbs, you can abuse the throttle, and catch slides very nicely.
Here's the set in case anyone might need it :)

On the other hand, I've only been able to put a 2:18.4 in the P4/5 - it's also very nice to drive, but with reduced wings one needs to watch the curbs a bit.  I'm attaching this set as well, again, really minor changes  -just in case.  I think it could be improved, still, this car is by default very nice to drive.

Whose server is the current practice server for Spa? The Mercedes is not on the car list. Thanks

EDIT: There must be an error in the car allocation. Wally and Bird are in P4s and I'm in the Mercedes  :'( ??? :o ;D

I can't see myself on the car list! I assume because I didn't set enough hot laps to get a good sample? I'll hopefully have all my pc issues sorted for next race so should I just use the Mclaren again?
