According to GPLRank, I last did this track in May 2004, in a Lotus.

And I don't think that I like it any better now than I did then!

Gaizka and Paul should both be out of sight after four corners.

Nos quedo muy buen sabor de boca en 2022 con el 67 ... tras 10 vueltas llegamos asi de lejos unos de otros juntos
We had a good taste in our mouths in 2022 with 67 ... after 10 laps we came this far from each other together.



Ojala que esta con el 55 nos salga igual de bonita
Let's hope that this one with the 55th will be just as beautiful.

Buen ambiente en pista con Paul, Xuggy y Gaiz
Good atmosphere on the track with Paul, Xuggy and Gaiz

Fui bajando de 5.15 a 5.07, mientras Paul marcó 5.01 y Gaiz por debajo de 5 ... a ver el miercoles
I went down from 5.15 to 5.07, while Paul clocked 5.01 and Gaiz under 5 ... let's see on Wednesday

[Clive Loynes]

I shall try to join you but I will probably be in bed by the time that you appear.

[Doni Yourth]

Dear me... Best I sharpen my pencil on this. I can't break 5m10s. BOOHOO!

[Clive Loynes]

I have finally found a setup that isn't trying to kill me every time that I touch the brakes and made it down to 5:03.19.

[Gaizka]

Gran semana de entrenos y, además, en buena compañía. Lo más destacable de momento, la batalla del miércoles con Paul (link a la repe)

En cuanto a tiempos, en pretemporada marqué 4:58 y ayer hice 4:54. A ver si consigo dar con la tecla con el setup y logro ir algo más cómodo.

Nos vemos el domingo


Very good training sessions with very nice company this week. Biggest highlight so far has been the battle with Paul on Wednesday (link to replay)

So far my PB has evolved from 4:58 this preseason to 4:54 yesterday. I am still playing around with the setup, trying to feel more comfortable.

See you on Sunday

[Clive Loynes]

Great times Gaizka.

You have a setup there that lets to carry speed through the fast corners, like T1, and still be able to turn the beast!

I have never had a good Lancia setup and have absolutely no idea on how to create one!

[Paul_S]

The setup is depending on what you want from it.

This is what I do for all mods.

softer = more grip - less control
stiffer = more control - less grip

So if you want more front end grip - soften the front ( just the roll bar may do it ) or stiffen the rear - or a combination of both.

[Clive Loynes]

Thanks Paul.

That's what I have attempted to do but it got complicated because I felt that I wanted more steering but every now and then I would lose the back end.

In the end I started to soften the front roll bar and put my other problems down to incompetence. Also running out of brakes every now and then.

The violent climbs also give give me the screaming abdabs because they try to snatch the front end away from me.

I have made it down to a 5:00.58 but not every lap.

[Mezcua]

It is training time
