Need the heater on this round, and practice with the pit app.

Practice server is up, Grid limit for Silverstone OSRW is 32 cars so not sure if Wally is going to open the field to that many on the race nite but practice server is up with a mix of GT3 cars to fill the 32 slots.

This should be the link to the current setup on the pracitce server in stracker, atm it still shows Vallelunga as nobody has run a lap it Silverstone but once they do this link will always show the current practice server stats.

Sorry, bit unclear; "no refuelling allowed" means it's allowed not to refuel, or it's not allowed to fill anything in at the stop?

The real-life regs don't allow refuelling in that format.  So it means you can change tyres or do repairs, but you can't put any fuel in.

Thanks!

Since the stop is compulsory, might as well change the tyres...

I reckon meds will get a bit squirmy after half an hour if you don't.

[StanDaam]

I know I get a bit squirmy after my meds!!!

 

Rules sounding good Wally!!

[Rolz]

Good fun tonight on the practice server
Meds are the way to go, I changed end of lap 7, but then by lap 15 I was on struggling...
Still, u get the idea

Now I need to play with the pit app - I fumbled a bit and that could save 2-3 seconds in a race...

 

[StanDaam]

Same here Rolz!

Meds seem to be the way to go, if the stop wasnt compulsory then I may have gone a mclaren as this had a chance against paul in the lambo as tyres were much better in the end. The audi seems to eat tyres but at least its quick between stops so its my current choice. It actually isnt as nice to drive as the 650s but that still cant pass anything on this track so I abandoned that alternative.

At least the audi should be an ok all rounder and has a fair chance against the others, some setup work should make it better again.

I used to drink a beer before/during the race...but you guys are on what sort of meds?

Apparently the meds give them something in between soft and hard.

Don't forget, you only have to stop. You don't HAVE TO change tyres. You MAY change tyres.

But are you also allowed to add fuel? I know the regulations say you cant but no real way to patrol this. Also if stopping mid distance with only just enough fuel the fuel will add time to the stop but also running heavy early adds time to the first stint so it does open up some nice strategy choice. Its also possibly still quickest not stopping so there must be a way to enforce all to stop and if they dont its a instant DQ I assume.
