Glad to hear from you again Richard. I am very happy about the results, indipendentely from the final position of my car on the podium.

What does the star near TF mean?

The performances of the Intro Cars are very good, congratulations to Rich (Brook Motorsport) and Evolve.

Ah knew this was coming. My cooling was absolute rubbish with 0.02 through the hx over the whole car. With my revised car and full cooling my projected lap time was 398 ish...

That's a penalty... But I am not sure why, as Andre just sends me the results... presumably TF himself knows, or Chris might be along shortly to divulge.... It would have been VERY close between you two otherwise....!

Yes, that is what I expected from TF, also because I am quite sure my car has lower df than in Monaco.

So... the top three cars are ready to go.... Slightly different format to the video this time to make things clearer... Distance is shown compared to the red marker, so the upper-most trace is the one furthest ahead of the marker, and hence the car leading the race...

The course is clear... The medic's helicopter is on standby.... We are ready for racing...

Thanks Machin, great video!!!

EDIT: I edited the message to avoid spoilers

I got two penalties because of recurrent issues from race 1. I was preparing a new spec of my car (L/D>7) but couldn't fix the balance issues so I sent what I thought it was a race 1 version with the legality issues solved. They were not solved
I lost valuable points, but that's racing!

I can't believe it!!! If you will go on this way your car will violate the laws of thermodynamics and will produce power instead of generate drag.

May I ask you wich drag values you have? Cd*A around or below 0.6? Still heat exchangers placed in front of the front wheels axle?

I am tempted to choose the same layout, but I am worried about the center of mass placement and inertia increase (joking, I am just a romantic and I like the renderings where my car looks like a real LMP1, just a bit too wide).

Now I can congratulate with JJR (impressive performance, you deserved to win) and Idadox (best rookie of all the times).

Figures are pretty much what I had iirc. Would be up a few places if didn't have the less powerful intro power unit.
Still, collecting good points in intro class.

That was nice to see. A podium!

Congrats JJR!

Now machin, I didn't get the Y axis on the video. Distance from marker?

Tks Matteo

And last but not least, thanks to all the staff, this is so great.

I didn't explain it very well: the red marker on the map... It moves roughly constantly through the lap and the three lines show how far ahead of the marker each car is... Imagine it is a bit like a course car following the race cars...

Ok, tks

Thank you guys nad congratulations to IDADOX and Matteo. Im impressed by IDADOX results.
Looks like his car will be verry good in 2nd half of the season.Of course TF car with extreme efficient design will be hard to beat.Looking forward to the rest of season.

Just seen the times of the top 3, WOW, JJR knocked it out the park, thats an impressive improvement on last season.
