Okay, so we'll se how far in the back I'll be if it rains tonight

Couldn't go on the PC during all weekend and I'm at work until 16:30 UTC today. If it's not too late for @bobbyD_ I'll send him my livery right when I come home.

Hi guys !

What is a good time in Kyalami in wets ? I only managed to practice 30 minutes on this track with wet tyres under "middle" rain and felt like a turtle doing 1:55 for average

@bobbyD_ we have to send you the liveries before what time ?

• Stick the whole amount of fuel in the tank you think you'll need to finish the race. You want to minimise the amount of stops, if you have the right tyre after an early stop to finish the race you don't want to then pit again for fuel
• A wet track (two lines of rain in the icon) needs roughly 1.5PSI MORE than a damp track (1 line of rain icon) for the same track temps
• The game will pop up and tell you when the cross over period has happened for tyre choice
• Aim for around 27.7PSI dry and 30PSI Wet hot pressures
• As a general guide, if you can see spray off your tyres you're better off on wets UNLESS the weather is forecast to dry up soon
• Use a magic 8 ball
• Pray
• Don't turn up, grab a beer and save yourself the stress

Quick cheat sheet for tonight
(not gospel but just going off my findings during last minute testing)​

Taking notes

A pit for just changing tyres takes 30 seconds right ? How much times does refueling take ? Thanks

"A big surprise is the change form akephoe raving team for the upcoming races of the RD ACC Championchip from the Lexus RC-F to the Aston Martin V8 Gt3. Rumors were cooking the last days as there was spotted an unknow Aston testing in Kyalami. But today a press release from akephoe racing team annouced the change. No reasons for the change were told to the public, but from people close to the team we heard that the team and driver weren't satisfiyed with the support from Lexus/Toyota in the last weeks.
We will see if the change is permanent and if the akephoe team can connect with the aston to the success they had with the Lexus"
