GT5 Championship - season 8 - "fuel issues"
Discussion
Is this week's combo using the 'very fast' fuel and tyre wear setting? If so the tyres last about 5 or 6 laps before you have to pit...

How long is the track again?
Ferry more than welcome. You'll be on team orange/brown as gw will miss a chunk of rounds

Yes we're using the 'very fast'So how do you play it, go slow and long or fast and short.... or somewhere in the middle?
Should be interesting.
This week's combo
Honda Beat (any variation, I don't thing they're any different)
Stage 1 2 & 3 engine
Every bolt on power mod you can fit including high turbo
Best flywheel & clutch (standard diff & standard gears)
Comfort medium & hard tyres
Track is Monaco
very fast tyre & fuel wear

PS new table added to P1. new points makes it very tight even after one round.

I just did spec update (above) sadly it is standard car, they're in ucd constantly. Think I have at least one spare maybe two.PS new table added to P1. new points makes it very tight even after one round.

It is awesome fun!
Well I almost made the one stop work in the first race, my calculations were out by 1 1/2 laps.
I managed to make a full tank last over half the race by switching the engine to 'fuel saving mode' (power reduced to 70%). Lap times were only two seconds off despite only having 400bhp, tyres wear was reduced by a third which also helped. You were all killing me on the main straight though.
Decided to try a 2 stopper for race two and increased the power to 85% to make up for the extra weight. Ended up pitting after lap 3 when Rex span out and collected me when he reversed back onto the track so that was game over.
Loving the new format.

Everyone knows that you are abysmal GPM.
Ferry, will be good to have you back. We used to be quite close on pace, there's a few of us running at a similar speed now.
watch it shrimpy, put you in your place if i arrived Ferry, will be good to have you back. We used to be quite close on pace, there's a few of us running at a similar speed now.
Billy, sounds like a great combo. 2 street circuits to start the championship, damn!

I'm leading the championship, I doubt you would do anything other than crash repeatedly and finish last.

It is a little gem! Very involving to drive this round Monaco. Moves about very nicely, pleasantly drifty, if needs be it can be put into a speed sapping spin away from a wall & spun within its own wheelbase so over-cooking it should only cost time.Billy, sounds like a great combo. 2 street circuits to start the championship, damn!
Dice I'll send one shortly.
