When I took the one-off I had one goal in mind: Have fun at one of the best racetracks in America That is exactly what happened, I had loads of fun driving this car/track combination. Only downside was that my computer gave me a black screen for 10 seconds, which meant that I had lost my fighting group for the moment
But In the end I somehow ended up in P4, still not sure how that happened  Congrats to all finishers

I forgot to bind the keys to control the boost after I reinstalled AMS... Oh dear haha
I got really confused at the start; I was catching everyone on the straights and then remembered about the boost. Tried going extremely slow, but I would never make it.
Congrats to the finishers!

I was very insecure about fuel consumption, in practice I couldn't get below 9.20 and I did the first 10 laps looking for a safe pace until I found the balance, but everyone was already far away from me.
I was very cautious in the pit stops, all I didn't want was a penalty.
As Jules and David Saber spent more fuel on the recovery, I knew they would have problems with that but Jules had an impeccable run (congratulations Jules, amazing recovery) and I was taking 2 seconds per lap off David Saber until I committed a small mistake and lose 10 seconds.
At that moment, I was already in 12th place, scoring points and I decided not to risk chasing David anymore.
Congratulations Anders, Wilks and Vadim, brilliant rhythm you guys had.
Congratulations to the broadcast team for the excellent work.

Bad driving day Cant go for 1st with two spins and one off  . Car was good albeit having a pretty tight operating window. Had to waste tons of fuel to gain back track position due to my unforced errors. WD podium and all finishers. Thanks for the broadcast. |

Apologies for that contact on the formation lap David. Got caught out somehow. Rookie mistake! On to Nazareth.  No problem mate. Sorry for clipping you in the pit. With that damage before the start the rear of my car felt loose and I was thinking of taking it steady for the race only to forget that there is a turn 1  and go straight on into the gravel. After that it was just stick to the fuel number and see what happened. I don't know how cars at the front can lap at those speeds and still hit the fuel requirement  , what am I missing. I'm not sure where I finish now as a few cars dropped out towards the end. Thanks for the broadcast, I'll watch it soon. I can record a typical lap with say 100 something liters with throttle inputs and breaks with little notes. Granted - it is just my way of doing it - but the principle and method should be the same. Can do it next week if you want to see it. |

It was after Vadim's instructions that I understood how the thing works in relation to consumption. Before he explained it to me, I couldn't do any laps for less than 9.20 per lap. Thanks Vadim for the tip! |

Decent enough - one mistake, could ve been little lower fuel use and a bit faster even. In general you get the idea from this vid.

Your lifting off pretty much where I was lifting off maybe a little bit earlier. It was the speed on the straights of the leading cars that I can't understand, when I was being lapped you all were much faster on the straights. It must be the wing settings allowing you to run more boost.

Somehow was still slow on the straights compared to the top 3 or 4 cars. |

I did have a decent amount of fuel left. And yes I was coasting. Maybe not as diligent as I could have but most of the time I was coasting, yes. I kept a steady gap to Ray for quite a few laps until nearer the end when he passed me. |

I was using 20 front wing and 3 rear wing with the brake ducts on 3. I guess that is too much front wing. The boost was mostly 0.18.

Not necessarily too much, that depends on how you setup the car ride heigth. Lowering the rear tends to increase the downforce but also move the balance rearwards a lot, thus you have to compensate with more FW. Generally speaking you should try that the car is horizontal at the highest speed you achieve, which will usually mean some rake (rear higher) in the rest of situations and thus less grip at the rear and less need for FW. |
