Title: S7R1: Mazda Cup Gentrack1 Pre-Race Chat
Post by: Gratulin on July 27, 2015, 03:14:19 PM
After last week's challenging Cobra Cup Round 1 it seems like a good idea to kick off the Mazda Cup. Also, the Belgium GP at Spa isn't for a couple of weeks so this aligns the schedules better.

July 30 Mazda MX-5 Gentrack1 Laps=1*5 & 1*7

Entry List:
Flattop
Gratulin
Wally
GWYAR
Joe
ThyMelMan
Bird
rooshooter
Phil.8
Grubbet
Rob
Imperious
Guybrush Threepwood
?Marty?
?Leyyinglo?

Thanks Andrew... I will be putting some laps in this week, I need to learn to keep that corner speed.

Yep. The Mazda bogs down on the Gentrack hills if you lose momentum...

No, social commitments. Just between you and me, I'd rather be racing  8)

Did some laps last night. Definitely all about corner speed and keeping the revs up. To start with I was being very conservative, then after a while tried throwing it around the corners a bit more eventually knocking 3 seconds or so off my conservative lap. Still a second or so off Phil, and Ryan was super quick!

I noticed your times on report!  I was attempting to be concervative too, happy to try the 'throw it around method"

May or may not be able to make it tonight, Andrew I hope you can do this again for us. Sorry for the late notice.

Race server is up.  I have commandeered Gratulin's server, thanks to Joe's online server tool :)
I should tick over to qual at 20:15HRS. and is set for 5 laps.

I am not sure if I will be there, if Gratulin isn't there either I hope 2 * 5 laps will.
cheers,
Bruce

I'll be there Bruce; if Gratulin can't make it shoot me the URL/pass for the tool and I can sort it if anything goes wrong.

Cheers

@Joe, might be a good idea for you to run the server to see first hand how your software handles it? I'll send you the login details - again ;)

Looks like the weather has gone back to normal in Melbourne tonight and a fair chance I can make this round.
