I hope that peoples wont back out because they are unprepared, because the unprepareds will probably be the majority of us. Once pit stops start happening, the field is going to spread out. There shouldnt be anyone that finds themself running alone for 2 hours with 15 cars on track. Hook up with someone cause it makes it more exciting and you'll be faster too!
This race wont be decided on the 1st lap .... TAKE IT EASY when the green flag drops.
I've got maybe 2 hours of practice for this, and that was well over a week ago. I have no idea what I'll do for pit strategy yet ... depends whom I'm running with. I do know I wont be stretching my tires out ... I've made that mistake in the past. Even though I'll make fewer pitstops by stretching, my pace will be slower to the point that its counter productive.
Plan your fuel .... you can take 14liters in the time it takes to get tires, and the fuel you do take needs to be planned to get you only to the NEXT pit stop. Unless of course a light fuel load upsets the balance. Opinions will vary, but thats what i do ...
Watch the pitroad entrance .... stay between the lines and dont cross the pitline at more than 100mph. Either of those will hold you for a penalty in your pitbox. And sometimes its a LONG time.
My nemisis has always been the hairpin .... need to keep telling myself, brake early, brake early
Look forward racing with you all, and having a bunch of fun with this!
