Joest Racing

Fine by me, but shouldn't I be in the #9 car?

Oops I deleted the post, would that strategy be ok for you guys ?

Perfect for me, so #8 car

Or this ?



I don't know what's best.

Dunno. First one, two cars = twice the chances of victory Second one, I don't have to speak English. Tough choice
I let you choose, I don't see one obviously better than the other (maybe try to get Gui or Martin on the last stint for the final effort ?)

From my experience, the last stints are almost always about bringing the car home, the gaps are too big anyway.

We also can change our plan in the middle of the race if needed anyway

Been testing a race setup and this is how it goes:

Drove for 26 laps with boost 1 averaging 1.9/2.0L per lap
1:15 consistently
Car feels very comfortable, brakes are au point; last turn almost flat out with just a tiny bit of sliding
After 26 laps with mediums, 2 squares are already gone which makes me think if we should go for the harder compound because, at this stage, the car becomes a lot more slippery, and for a 50 lap stint +-, it may become a nightmare pretty easily

Here's the setup so you guys can try it and make your own conclusions

edit Martin: Via PM

ouch, sorry!! Forgot it was visible to everyone

Iwon't be able to show up in any of the qaulifying days, so I hope you guys have it covered

I should be able to cover both Q sessions, what I don't know is when my Birthday celebrations will be, we decided on having my brother with family over on Sunday, hopefully during the evening so I can do some early sints and maybe also the late ones, dependent on how long the race ends up being

With we decided, my dad and brother decidid on that

Ok so Tiago is away for Q, Jonathan will be on track with #9, JP do you want to drive tonight?

Question aux physiciens du mod:

Peut on se permettre de ne pas lever le pied au changement de rapport sans prendre le risque de casser le moteur prématurément?

You should try splitting 2 cars between 3 drivers i can't make that work either someone
ends up driving an hour longer from my reckoning ....

@Alexandre: à vrai dire je n'ai jamais fait attention Mais je le déconseille fortement, vu qu'il n'y a pas d'auto-blip/lift

@Carl: That's not a problem, see the rules

Of course, you need 5 stints to finish the race, that makes 10 stints in total, and you can't divide this by 3.

Je veux bien rouler ce soir, pour la minute qui reste
Pour samedi, je serai présent s'il y a besoin.

If you want that I will step down and let you drive the #9 car

Still struggling but with the changes I asked Martin if it was allright to do it should be allright and I should be able to improve a lot on my time (1.16.0), was on my 3rd 2 lap try with softs and Q setup

EDIT: My bad, thought we were in the same car, but the offer still stands

What's the current strategy / line up anyway ? If we are in the #9 like in the provisional grid, we can split the Saturday qualifying ?

If it looks like it does there I'm happy with doing that JP

If you need me for today, I'm available.

I'm also on TS to discuss tomorrow's strategy; I still don't know our stints
