I think I'll be out for this one. Was overly optimistic I'd still find the time to race, but kind of forgot how much effort a newborn is! I'll join if I can but the way the last few days have gone I'll either be holding him or sleeping.

Gee, I hope some of those times are set without ballast!

No, I thought it would be fun to increase ballast to 200kg.

I did ask Neys if he could add ballast used in the stracker info, he said he should be able to so maybe in a future update.

Hmmm... you clearly need a few more hundred kg then.

That version was in Netkar or rf1. The extra section is really good.

You must have good hacks then seeing as even though there is no checksum auto kick, Ptracker can do the checksum and you passed that test. ;)

I did 2 laps with 0 ballast---no change on setup (gears were actually too short) and made a few mistakes. Almost 3 seconds faster than a few minutes earlier on 108kg... Car felt so good, though.

This is going to be a tough night.

Still 3 seconds slower then GB without ballast, kind of shows how it helps if done properly. I think lap times with ballast should be a bit closer now then last round. Unless someone has snuck in with no ballast and lots of pace.

Intersting track as you can go quick but gaining lots of time in a couple sections means taking a fair bit more risk in those too. Passing nowhere near as easy as it was at Silverstone so I can afford to keep screwing up lap 1. Pretty sure last round was my highest amount of spins in a single round and not once did I get hit by anyobody.

The run off the line can be great fun too, I had some fun little battles with a few guys into those first few corners a couple days ago on the prac server. You can make the pass inside r outside of t1 to t3 but both guys need to be very aware or it could cause a huge pileup. I was amazed going in there as hard as possible I had no contact with any of them. There was some proper carnage at t6 on a few occasions so b if you see yellow coming to the crest best to slow a little to avoid adding to the pile up.

I saw cars flying ahead and thought I cpuld just get under 1 mid track but 2m above the surface. Didnt quite make it though as it dropped quick.  ;D

Zandvoort is such an awesome little layout though in these, only 13 corners but more then half of them can make you look silly very easily.
