    Does any team need a fill in driver? GTE or LMP2?
    List it here and let’s see what can happen.

    Going back to dry this track is dangerous. Hope it stays wet.

    Ok I think I get the weather page now... help me if I’m wrong!
    Slot 1. 9am - 10:30am 0.2. Does this mean fog or are we leaving as clear?
    Slot 2. 10:30am - 12pm 1.0mm. Light rain.
    Slot 3. 12pm - 1:30pm no additional rain recorded. Clear.
    Slot 4. 1:30pm - 3pm no additional rain recorded. Clear.

    the 0.2 was before 9am (was actually rain from between 11:30am and 12pm Friday)
    The rain values are cumulative and reset after 9am. So you have to look at the values from 9:30 onward as rain between 9am and 9:30 will only appear in the 9:30 report.

    Official weather is.
    Qually: Clear
    Slot 1: Clear
    Slot 2: Light Rain
    Slot 3: Clear
    Slot 4: Clear

    I feel guilty, maybe if I wasn't a muppet the first room woulda worked fine but then maybe not. Good racing all and sorry for the muck around early on, the bugs are real in this game though sadly I got hit with the no tyre change bug despite religiously selecting it 5-6 times prior. Maybe going forward we can develop a fair system for those that DC. Maybe your DC position points plus a third more of the points based on your race position at time of DC? For instance, If you DC first you are effectively last but you get 8 points on top if you were in first place or something?

    I dunno :s

    Thanks for the racing guys, was great fun again.

    Was a night full of gremlins for me. First the PS4 went in to rest mode with a couple of minutes left in qualifying. Then I had a phantom PS button press along the back straight that put me in to the wall and let everyone past. Then my gearbox suddenly dropped back to 4th gear at about 270 clicks and would not change back up! Eventually fixed that by frigging around with the H-shifter. Then at my last pitstop my crew decided to give me Hards and only about 20l of fuel.

    Mulsanne was a bloody nightmare with the slicks!

    I had a few phantom force feedback inputs where it would pull the wheel hard to 1 o'clock along the straight just before a braking point.

    Lol Gary I'm sure you were almost at a standstill at Mulsanne once and I had to swerve into the wall to avoid ya! I was cruising along minding my business and you weren't moving at all had to swerve out of the way

    But yeah that corner man, you can do it a million ways to sunday and it still is a :):):):)en handful
