WORLD SERIES 2011 - DISCUSSION

I only got bout 4 hrs practise in for this one. Praying to the car gods that i hit a 50 in qual. Then flat out for the race. Hopefully i do a repeat of the last city track with lots of winning

Great race last night guys, i really enjoyed that one. Wasn't easy by any means.

Qual : Qual went well with a low 51. Was enough to grab pole so i was quite pleased. I thought Chris and Liam would of been much quicker, was quite a suprise that you's weren't.

Race : Got away good and started maintaining the gap i had back to chris, not seeming to pull away to much with some of his good laps. Really worked hard on just being consitant for this one and did almost all of laps in the 51's for my first stint. Pitted, and the least thats said about my pitstop the better as it was very bad and slow. Chris pitted the next lap and came out in front of me only to run wide on the first corner and allow me down the inside to get the lead back. I then focused on building up a rythum as i knew i had a nice time from 4aged to beat for the clean sweep. Got a really good run out of the last corner one lap and i knew i had to punch out a mad one that lap and it all went right for once getting me down into the 50's

Next race should be intresting with a few people disliking the FO8's and a few that have never driven them (including myself ). Looking forward to the next one see ya's there

Yeah sorry bout the lack of a hard, flat out race with you tiptop but no matter how much i tried i just couldnt get it working how i want and im extremly lucky to hold onto 3rd. I think part of the problem was i made some brake bias and pressure adjustments just before qual and it all felt pretty good then qualifying came around and i thought i just didnt manage to get a lap in but in was like it in the race too. Pretty quick in the 1st and last sectors but i was loosing in excess of 1 second in the 2nd sector on my own pb and you guys were faster then that so id hate to compare those numbers.

Other then that it was a good race, i managed to keep it off the walls completely which im happy with and lesson learnt. If you spend quite a number of hours making a setup that is stable and decently fast DONT change it 5 mins before qualifying and race lol...

Thats ok mate. Would suggest alot of prac for the next one as thats what ill be doing because of having no time in these cars. I like leading from the front but i gets boring at times, much better fun is had with a good old battle.

Yeah every time i've done that its lead me to complete failure, because i generally cant remember what the old setup was after changing it.

Was really suprised with the pace 4aged showed last night given the time he strolled on in at, was good to see.

points are in...tiptop is past Chris after slowly catching him....we were all whipped and dominated by tiptop last night

[tiptop114]

Is it just me or did a heap of posts go missing

The next race looks like a tough one. Pretty sure Andre might be racing and he's in the mid 28's. I'm in the mid 29's but should be quicker by race night

[Wildboy99]

Ive done 20 laps and im running around the mid 29's aswell. Havent even started looking at improving the setup yet it feels really stable though and really consistent. Just need to get a bit braver and brake later as im still hitting them far to early especially for the first real corner of the track. Its not a bad car to drive though once you get a setup that feels good and i must say also that i prefer this track in reverse alot more though its still fun fwds
