Evo the 1 lap at Laguna is just to clear the clocks. The 10 mins pre race is qualifying

If you quit back to the lobby in that 10 mins you lose your time just the way gt5 works

My rule on the tyres is as I said last night if you run a mix that counts towards the softer choice and you still have to run the harder as a set.

I can't see the advantage over a stint or two as IMHO a full set of softs would be ultimately quicker (flip I know you a crazy cat who likes the left field tactics) but for the majority I guess this is true.

If its an issue ill re-write the rule for next seaon banning it it as bill says its not unlike running a lesser spec car etc

Ian combo confirmation time? (Are we running it from recommended list?)

I do like to see what's possible read

So we can infact run the lesser tyre as both of our choices (so one compound)? Just adds another dimension to the strategy available smile
No - you would have to run at least front or rear of the softer compound to comply with my law hehe

Mixed = fine (but counts to the softer option)

running only one compound even if hard does not comply

PS table updated on p1

Hehe yes indeed quite right Evo :-) That was meant to have read that hard tyres on the rear... being specific to the front drive (urgh) combos. I don't say this often but the last thing the Elise needed was more oversteer!
I'm not angry just disappointed at you billy

Haha yeah sorry about that, I think I went too far! It should have included a very strict waiver *only considering the high rate of rear tyre wear.

Aaah that's better, all is well. That's been bugging me.
hehehehe I'm relieved phew!

Evo don't worry about lag we've all had it. One thing do you clear your gt5 cache before joining - might help

Re race 2 - I was on the hards from the start but evert time you past me I could drag you down the main straight - good fun that

Combo looks epic love the RGT

Brilliant GW!

Table updated on P1. Also trying something new - below (fingers crossed) is an image of the table I use. This should show you guys all the results over the weeks. You can all workout what two scores you are dropping and the min points you need in the final round etc etc etc.
