Must get some practice in, I've not even bought the cars yet.

Are we running ballast this season Dice?, hope so.

I thought about it but hadn't decided - thought that having quite a varied list would be ok.

What's the consensus - ballast for top 4 or not??

It would only count from race 2 week 1 onwards.

200kg for GW, none for anyone else.


AKA yes, I would like ballast for the top 4 like previously, not bothered whether it's increased/decreased or kept the same as in the past.

Ok I'll work it out for the vette and post later.

But in old maths it was roughly (depending on power to weight)

1st 12 - 15%
2nd 8 - 11%
3rd 4 - 7%
4th 1 - 3%

I think 16 car reverse grid plus ballast may be too punitive? (And it's highly unlikely it will affect me).

Had a few practise sessions but still a little bit off the pace. Both cars are great but im really liking the stingrays though, awesome car.

Dice... Should have my new alternative for the red bull junior soon, just need to do so more testing.

Really looking forward to this season kicking off smile

I don't think so, it's never majorly affected anyone in the past to the point where they can't compete. The only time it has been a problem was at Fuji in the old Mini's on GT5, I was struggling to keep up with the entire pack... but that's about the most extreme car/track combo you will ever get.

st.

In three weeks I've gone from three seconds off first in the race, to three seconds a lap off the pace. And that's before goodwood knocks another second off that time.
Dont worry we can keep each other company at the back of the grid smile
