more testing this evening. due my experience in rain and on a much hotter track than usual (if you start zurich day dry it will have just 20 degree track temperatur but if you start zurich day or dawn with changing weather it has more than 30 degrees on the track ?!?) i did a 10 lap race with adapted setup. medium slicks front and rear, less spoiler on the rear and 10 nm less on the front sway bar. the opponents were set to 115% strength and i started from 1st position. after aremberg, there was no more opponent visible in rear view mirrors and i finished my 1st lap with a 20 secounds gap to the second. after lap 6 i went for the pits with 3 minutes ahead and a best lap of 8:40.980. due my pace i drove step by step into troubles because my rear wheels were almost above 100 degree. nethertheless, i finished the race with 2:54 to the second and my best lap was 20 secounds faster than the best opponent. i had to slow down for the last 2 laps because i had fuel for just a total of 10 laps on board and to pit just for one lap again wasn’t really my idea. so on a wormer track with a balanced setup it is possible to drive 11 laps in a 1:30 hour race with the elise. with less stress for the car and the tires, a longer stop after 10 laps, this will give an estimate of 160 laps for a 24 hour race. with a full tank it should be possible to stay out for at least 8 laps and with a moderate driving the tires should last for 16 laps. this will lead to a 1:20/2:40 strategy but i am not sure if it is possible to stay out for 16 laps on the very same tires while keeping the lap times equal. i will do more test races just for checking the tire wear and temperature. maybe hard tires rear and one step more rear wing will give better and constant results. less sway bar on the front is not recommended, the car renders more and more less responding.
