Have you try to drive 40 laps in RB4??..

Yes, it's quite simple actually. Be nice to the clutch

But tires...
It's possible as long as you don't try to run hot laps during the race. I would have done all 40 if I wouldn't have used .1% more fuel than I expected.

However, with that said, I will admit that the tires definitly would be streching it for everybody.

I am officially changing the duration of the race Sunday down to 35 laps. This is not a big change, however it will reduce the time in the race which the tires will be overheated.

Tomorrow's race should last around 19 min with the changed distance. Due to the shortness of the track I would like to take this oppertunity to remind all competitors to obey all blue flags. Lap traffic that holds up leaders will be penalized serverily post-race.

I will not outlaw contact, however divebombing and intentional contact will not be tolerated. Some minor incidental contact may be expected however.
Hope I can make my tires last =) See you on sunday It's my day off from work.

My tires are lasting the distance.

My worries for the next race is more for the start of the race. Anyway, hope to see you guys there.
Since my wheel is unuseable right now, I'll be using game pad. Hard to take care of my tires with my controller. I'll be in the pits a few times, for sure.
I just realized that there are no pit stalls on that extemely short pit road. I don't think you'll be pitting.
Good luck in the pits . I can do 60 laps while remaining in the 31's. Tires are no problem if you know how to take care of them.
Yes, there are no pit stalls on FE6. This was the main reason that I decided to reduce the number of laps for today's race. I got rid of my tire issues today, so look out tomorrow if I can survive the start

This week midrace joining will be disabled following the first 1/4 of the race. This week this will be following lap 9.

Just as a reminder:

One lap race practice?
The race begins in 34 min. We are expecting more than 10 competitors today, and possibly more
Great race by everyone.
ban neilsen pls for t1 wreak
Ban Franky for hit before start.
Quote from NielsenRacer :Ban Franky for hit before start.

Franky was hitting Corny at start even though there was plenty of room for him to line up still, just sayin.
Well if you look at my car in the start so you can see he hit me so i fly into J.Wunderov.
The start was a product of the small track and the Motorcross style start. Frank was left out and I was giving pre-race instructions. Otherwise I would have moved. No actions taken.
