Here we go again Finally track that i like. Great combo, i hope we will score some good points here
It looks like more draft in this build will require to fine tune our last season setup's. I had a feeling that turn in is not so good with last season setup and Jussi and Nico confirmed it too. So it looks like we have to add some front wing to regain good turn in.
So far my best time was 2.02.116 but i didn't change setup yet.

I was 4th.
Got very loose on the top of eau rouge and just barely managed to keep the car on the track but got a slow down penalty putting me to 7th. Luckily I managed to pass few people and finish 4th which wasn't bad considering that the race could have ended very early for me today.
I'm eager to see Scott on the track too!

Yeah, i had more speed then he had i knew it's now or newer. Since new build i think there is almost no draft again, I cannot get even close to oponnent on the longest straight . :S I will try to improve my performance until Friday but i don't belive overtaking will be any easier

Part of that might be because of the setup if you are using the setup I sent to Cyril because I noticed the same problem too, but others seemed to get good runs on the straights. I ran a couple of laps so that I made a pass in T1 but then the other guy would pass me at the end of the long straight and the same thing next lap.

Hmm i used you last setup, but lowered rear wing and change 5th and 6th to get better end speed. Maybe downforce was still to high

It might also be because of the ride heights, I haven't usually adjusted them from track to track.
By the way, I made some changes to springs (for the first time ever) and improved my times a lot. I will upload the setup after I post this message. I think it also has lower ride height. With Q fuel it's not very stable, but it is fast (1:58:7xx OPT at the moment). With race fuel it is stable & fast but still you have to be careful when trailbraking.

Next week seems like a good choice for the comeback, its Scott's track after all - Indianapolis roadcourse! I remember Scott being very fast there.
