Hi,
Had the shock of my life NOT seeing a yellow flag for a car
stationary on track! (It should have been red, but I guess
it is not stated to happen in free practice).
And I was on a real hot lap then (see lap 3). Now I realize why
many people were really disappointed not seeing a safety car
deployed in 06 Spain. I had Kimi stationary half way over the
Nouv chicane where you have to muscle your car over it, if not
straight line the damn thing approaching Tabac :( :( Not only
did it spoil my lap, but I could have seriously had crashed!
Anyways, see below the lap times + splits. I have intentionally
removed all the other logger + telemetry data, its huge + for
all the other 21 cars included! But its great for analysis!
One class act, courtesy the new GP4 patches which give you a
real time view of the position of all cars on track + splits
+ timings on screen (very similar to one given by visionf1.com);
So I ran my car slow till all the others were not over near
1/4 the distance ahead of me, and then started my hot laps
with clean air.
I know the modern F1 cars have this data available aswell, but
the only difference being, I had the other 21 cars driven by the
AI which prefers to run the cars in a train in the dirty air of
the leading car... :)) Or may be its the free practice mode :)
Buts thats all I do in GP4. Set hot laps in free practice
and try and learn the circuit as much as possible!
As always, very very difficult track, Loews + Porter + Tabac +
Rasscass are the most challenging (basically the whole track)
for me.
