Just did a 1:52.x in the LDF configuration. I put one more click of rear wing on from the default, that's all.

1m50.268s with the low downforce config. here.
As much wing trimmed out that will maintain balance. ;)

I'm using the off season to play MGS5.  It's a cracker.  I've put AC on hold.  Also, I'm away for work the coming and the following Tuesday night Wally, just to let you know.

OK, thanks. Hopefully you'll be shockingly under-prepared when the season starts ;)

My spies tell me that the ideal tyre pressure for grip in the FR3.5 is 23 psi, front and rear.

Just had a go in the medium downforce and managed a 1:52.3

I wasn't sure about driver position as you couldn't see much track with the default so I raised the view up a little which seemed better. I googled 'F1 POV' to try and get an idea and this video came up which is pretty cool as it's at the same track, albeit a different layout :)

That's pretty cool, and gives a good idea of the POV, doesn't it. Mine looks pretty close to that. I could lift my POV a fraction too, but it's not far off.

I really like what he did, but for realism we should be quite a bit lower than that. Look at Di Grassi's mirrors: the camera is quite a bit too high, so that the mirrors show (us) only the sidepods! Indeed, from any picture I can get, we should have our eyes lined up with the mirrors an the top of the 90° turned wheel.

Yeah but I wonder how much you really can see in the mirrors. I was watching another video yesterday or Martin Brundle in the Ferrari F1 car and he said pretty much all he could see in the mirror was red  ;D

Yeah, I remember that video. But we also read many times that in the mirror you can see the rear tyres and the rear wing. Of course you cannot see very well, but surely you see "behind" and not "below" :)

Actually the way Luca did that is pretty nuts in a way to make sure the lens was at eye level. He put a gopro covering one of his eyes so the lens height matches his eyeline. The reason why the mirrors dont line up correctly is simply because the camera is attached outside his helmet and so the lens is a fair way ahead of his eyes. This means the angle from camera lens to mirror will be steeper and so it wont match what he sees in mirrors even though the height matches near perfectly.
