well u know what to say here :)

i got a lucky 1:12.3 with quali set so by the looks of it my pole position streak will be over soon :)


oh and btw, on a complete different topic, i usually do test races with computer on 120% difficulty, and in both bahrain and malaysia i was about 2 seconds faster than AI... here AI gets INSANE TIMES... 1:08 in qualify, is something wrong or am i that slow? :)

if i could figure out the new chicane i think i could get into the 16s, but for now, 17.3. im a tad off in the 2nd sector, i think i might be fastest in 1st sector, and consistantly .8-a second off in the 3rd sector. i need some of dragos speed in that 3rd sector. why the hell did they(real life) change the track anyways, i was quick through the old 3rd sector!

To maybe give some hope to the non-aliens out there, I'm doing high 20s to low 22s in race setup after ~50 laps of practice, with lots of 25+ due to spinning or going wide in the new chicane... :oops:

Thank you Uncle Bernie for scr3wing what used to be a very enjoyable track... :roll:

Bilbo ,you will soon lower your time after some more practice.
The clue of this track is to take the rigth rithm.
Better a little slower but constant than very fast but with the risk of spin.
I'm not talking about setup, but about the way of driving.
Take care of tyres, and remember you will stress them a lot more during race rather than during practice.

yeah, up to now, my main concern on this track is my tire, more than my lap time.
