Round 12 - Bosch Spark Plug Grand Prix [Oct 30th]

That means you'd exceed the maximum number of allowed absences, and lose the car. The same thing applies for Cezariusz with #33.

#33 please
...damn this week passed way too quick

Best of luck to all racers tonight. 

Bad day for Penske at his own track. After the two other Penskes retired, I wanted to do a good job here.

Car felt great on worn tires and I was on course for a top 5 until the Ilmor blew.

My car was a bit understeery on full tanks and I had to careful not to overheat the right front tyre but towards the end of a stint it felt good. Fuel mileage was ok and I was looking like a 6th or 7th place finish. I thought I was quicker than my qualifying time and it was quite easy to move up until I reached Ray who had more straight line speed than me but I was faster in the corners but of course you don't overtake in the corners, I had to wait for Ray to slow up a bit to get past. Then around lap 150 the engine blew, maybe I could have increased the cooling before the start but who knows.
I wasn't looking forward to this race but it turned out to be quite fun.

Thanks for the broadcast.

Well done Vadim , David and Cez.

I was running around 2,15 liters a lap, so that would have cut it I think. 

I however have been playing RF2 a lot recently for GPLaps' HRRC and I forgot I mapped the buttons to change pitstopstrategy differently in AMS.... I was running on low fuel after the first stop because I thought I couldn't change the values...

Stupidity ruled.

Was a nice introduction to ovals though, I think I made a good choice to run with a stable race setup

Hi all, well my race went as expected, I can't figure out how to make my car work, especially at short ovals, over one lap fine, in the race, well, I couldn't keep the front right from overheating, I was soon overtaken by half the field, it was frustrating, so having said that would anyone be interested in posting there setup, I only say this because there are no more short ovals left, and I'm sure other people might benefit from it to.



Well done to Vadim and podium, the track looked fantastic.



Thanks.



For what its worth , this is my setup.

Thanks David

After a few laps I would adjust my rear anti roll bar to the max setting.
