I have now started testing with the BRM and these are my times with a 1 stop strategy.

Lap 3: 1m21.119s
Lap 3: 1m21.431s
Lap 4: 1m21.055s

Lap 22: 1m21.299s
Lap 23: 1m23.754s
Lap 24: 1m54.842s

........

Will do a non stop test soon.

Will be interesting to see what type of strategy that will fit the BRM the best.

My verdict so far is that I really like the new DG patch

NB: Updated with times from a testrun with the same setup as used below.

For me a non stop strategy will be the fastest on Kyalami

With the new patch I use a slight different setup in Race mode then on Qual.
I can’t be as aggressive in race mode, but with a smother driving style I’m able to be fairly consistent trough out the whole race.

Would be good to hear from anyone else that has teated the patch.

I searched for the repair error (you get kicked off the server if you have a missing wheel) and found it!
Sorry to everyone who was affected (John, Björn and whoever else was).
I have made a new version (dgp842). You can download it in the first post.
Because you only have advantages with the new version I did not change the access to the server. This means: You can still access the server with v841, but I recommend v842, because it also replaces missing wheels.

@André: The server does not necessarily need the new version.
