You see that it's 11 degrees outside and your first thought is how you're going to get some heat in your tyres.

Hey Wally - I'm out for the next 4 weeks due to work commitments.  :'(

Will be available again on the 6th of October for the tail end or the start of SR9
Bummer! We'll still be here when you get back. Probably starting season 9 around about then.

Nice video, and great commentary. Fun to watch for anyone who's raced on the virtual track. Man, those guys are constantly working the wheel.

Half a lap of side-by-side racing with Guybrush (me in the yellow), after he recovered from an off.


Chasing Grat over the line at the end of race 1.


Grat beating me by 0.117 at the end of race 2.

An excellent night of racing for me. Race 1 featured a good chase of Rolz, finally squeezing past him at the NGK chicane, and half a lap of close battling with Guybrush as he made his way back through the field.

Race 2 was a bit messier, with an accidental knock from Freezer on lap 2 sending me close to the rear, and then me running into the back of Grubbet at turn 1 on lap 6 and redressing costing me more time. But in the latter stages of the race, I had a great dice with Chap and Grat, with a few passes here and there, unable to capitalise on Grat's worse tyres on the final lap. Almost!

My car felt pretty good in the slippery conditions. I had set the front camber to max negative to try to generate some heat in the front tyres, and also put on front splitter of 1. It didn't feel too bad.

8 laps and 17 laps. Race 2 fuel and tyres at 4.2x (unless it's freezing cold again, in which case I'll reduce the tyre rate).

Lucky your not racing where I am atm, race would be called off due to heavy rain. Its not cold but very wet thos afternoon, here is just after they suspended play today.



Here is the place the other day when not as wet, but really havent seen too much sun yet.



Maybe Thailand will be a bit nicer next week.  ;)

What was the grip like?

7704
Server is up.

Race 1 is damp (85% grip), 15 degrees ambient.
Race 2 is wet (75% grip), 14 degrees.

A lovely summer's day in Germany.

7705
If the conditions change dramatically between races do we get some practice time for the second race to make any required changes after the first race?
Yep, I think there's already a 20 min qually before race 2.

7706
It becomes an exercise in concentration. But last time I checked the forecast, it looked like it was expected to clear a bit.

7707
Yeah, it was like that racing in the rain in netKar. You had white knuckles the whole race, and you did not blink. It was awesome :)

7708
I've set the practice server to the Nurburgring weather to be a wet track, and very cold. I've also reduced the tyre wear rate to 2.1x.

I've set up a beta test program for version 1.1, which adds notifications on players joining your favourite servers. If you already have the app and want to beta test this new version, PM me the gmail email address that you purchased it with, and I will invite you to the beta program. The new version should then appear as an update in the play store. I've never done this before, so that's the theory at least.

I'd like to test this on a few different devices before it goes out into the wild.

Just had a go on the practice server. Looking forward to some ice skating tomorrow  ;D
Yeah I just had a run on the praccy server, it's extremely slippery!!  :(
And I see what GB is gettin at, with all that slipping around just eating your tyres up (sliding in the wet but registering as dry weather wear), 2 and 1/2 laps on softs took me to 86...
hmmm
At least hards seem to go further, maybe because they never heat up, getting my skates out!!  :o

Maybe I'll set the tyre wear to half the rate in the longer race - i.e. 2.1x.
