- 2 for brake duct
- 59/41 for brakes
- one click for each gear (4.5 for 6th)

Best laps for Buenos Aire :

1.50 with hard tyres and 170L of fuel
1.48 with hard and 15L
1.47 with qualif

Hey Sebastien,
How are you getting along with Long Beach? I'm so far in the high 22's with softs and 30liters. I think the problem with the pit crews not servicing has to do with the tracks. In Buenos I had would be lucky to have it work 40% of the time but in Kyalami the serviced me every time. So far LB seems to have no problems with stops. To me its looking good to pit for this race. With all those walls I want to be on good tires and a light fuel load.
Darryn

Doing a pitstop could be a good idea here. Race will be very long and hard ( 80 laps ), fresh tires will help for sure

But if you pit, and others drivers dont, you'll have to overtake them on track

Strategy strategy ....

I think you would loose too much time

I didn't try Long Beach with FW06 yet, and i have to try pitstop procedure too (how refuelling without repare small damages, etc.). And i'm not sure there will be too much wear at Longbeach.

To answer to Guillaume, at Long Beach i think to be on low fuel and fresh tyres is not to be fast but alive i don't think there will be a lot of drivers at the end !

My tires wear were 42% at Maximum for 81laps, so its not a problem. In my opinion, its easier to drive with tires in yellow condition than in green at Long Beach

Same pace here, high 22 but i struggle to find grip

With full load i'm not a lot slower, weight helps to put power down so i think a pitstop should be slower this time, but perhaps more safe !

and... this pits exit is totally crazy

FW06 is not the best, i think 1:22 is good. I drive 1:19s, but you have to risk a lot^^

So Daryn, how is your training at Jarama ?

I just finished to learn the track and have a descent setup (thanks Guillaume!), i still didn't do any race test, tire wear and refuelling possibility, perhaps tonight.

I'm making 1.15.3 with soft and 30L, but i have a .5s of improvement possible i think. I hope i will finish this one without big mistake...

Hey Sebastien,

I'm not doing so well. Running in the high 16's with softs and 30l and 16 flat qualifying. If you could upload that setup I would be much obliged. I'm using Guillaumes' arrows setup currently. With my own setup I was running in the 17's. I did run a half race last night with 125l and softs. I thought the tyres would wear much quicker but the softs seemed ok. Don't really know if I will pit or not. I'm not really consistent enough to tell. But it will certainly be interesting starting up near the front.

So you'll do a qualifying lap this time ?

Oups, sorry i forgot to send the setup , lot of work this end of week, Guillaume just put it on the forum.

Good day for Williams, 9 points !
We are not so far for the Team champ, that's great ! Now just 14 points behind Tyrrell and some fast tracks coming...
