Dark blue is aero damage, light blue is suspension. Max damage per corner is 180 seconds I think (both aero and suspension), so you were closer to maxing out the damage in the 2nd one. On both, you're missing the wing and have splitter damage).
 
This time we also don't have luck #297 gt3 car and this time other gt3 cars do something i can't imagine. Sometimes driving in lobby with random people are better then yesterday. After couple laps my car was so much hitten from every sides, that i have top speed slower about 6km/h. Lap times from 1.58 degreasing to 2.00.
Every fight finishes divebomb with hit. Is that correct?

I didn't see any apology yet, maybe the accident was caused by aliens from outer space! Thanks for the video, I guess your face has to be painful yet because of the laughing. It's hilarious.
 
It's funny to see how some people slow down, while others try to go full throttle through the carnage. The 2nd option obviously isn't a great approach.
The reason the crash was huge, is because the 3 classes are stacked together to form 1 huge grid. The LMVS approach would be much better, having 3 separate starts. Obviously incidents will still happen, but an LMH crash will not ruin 20 other races...

No need to do any other starts, we are doing D2 starts - period. The level is simply too low to avoid massive incidents within the first lap. Period.
 
Great race for us in D2. Got some issues with Prototypes overtaking us and instantly braking infront of us. I dont know if someone already mentioned it, but we've had many problems with the livetiming. Trackmap was stuttering, which was not the main issue. Problem was that the times wasn't accurate. For example our driver told us the distance to the car behind was 35sec and the livetiming told us 32sec. We refreshed the browser many times but it was giving us still the wrong information.
 
Not sure this is the right place to post this request

Please,

Could something be done to make the Live Timing more practical?

To be able to keep the information on the banner : Position-Class-Driver etc, and follow a car in the middle or at the end of the ranking, you have to open two different Browser windows and juggle with them...

Could we have a bigger, more efficient map?
At Road Atlanta, all it showed me was blue dots with no numbers...

This time in Bahrain, I had to spot that my car, which was 13th, was number 11 on the trackmap and, incidentally, that the car listed as 4th, just in front of us was in fact 16th !

The Live Timing section is very good, giving much more information than in previous years, but the map isn't up to scratch.
I'm not criticising the idea of improving it, or the way it's done, which I wouldn't be able to do myself.
But a fixed banner and a better trackmap would be welcome.

Thank you

I received some Discord messages (from a team mate and @Joonas Raivio) saying that I was lagging, so I felt I had to leave to reboot my router, after which all seemed well in the race, but apologies if I caused any problems.

Then put a true orange color. ;)

I´ll let you nitpick all you want, however some things need to stay the same color. Such as class color. I am not adjusting a full class now because you are having a hard time seing the difference between red and orange ;)

Sorry I don't nitpick at all. It's just an idea to improve the livetiming and to be on WEC color. No change, no problem on my side.
 
Had a fun comeback to VEC after years of absence. The start was to put it politely very interesting. I opted for the slow approach through the carnage which saved our car from any damage.
Race was fun, some quite interesting prototype overtakes which could have ended in big drama but I did not expect anything else from this track & car combo.
Thx to all the Protos who took a sensible and smart approach towards overtaking. :)

CU in SPA <3

Without wanting to get into controversy, you should do a little self-criticism about your behavior at track . You were waving entire first stint moving from one side of the track to the other, changing the trajectory several times even in the braking zone even changed trajectory and blocked others drivers who was noticeably faster than you between turns 2 and 3. It was a miracle that you did not cause a multiple accident only because Fran Sola had quick reflexes and managed to avoid you. Less protesting and more introspection. I ended up with a 60-second car fixing because you changed your driving line three times , the last one already at the braking point.

Now focusing on the race, I can only say that we are very happy with the pace we had, which in some moments was almost the same as at the head of the race. Without the problem of the 60-second car fixing and the consequent loss of top speed, I think our position would have been even better, so as I said, I'm happy waiting for the next race in Spa. Congratulations to all my team.

See you in Spa.
