I adivse everyone to not go high aggressiveness until your drivers are used to their setup and the circuit, otherwise you will more likely than not experience the joy of off-track excursions.

Thiago: 3.42.05: Another fairly good lap from Thiago, though didn't set a time he was happy with this lap. He wants to go out again.
Costa: 3:47.93: Costa was able to actually complete the lap this time, though he still struggled getting around some of the lower-speed corners and the lap time he set is not especially competitive by the others set thus for. He is complaining that he is running into too much drag on the straights and that the car is too hard to steer.
Due to a missed connection in Chisinau, the Tiraspol Titans have arrived in Germany later than planned and drivers Grigoriu and Mikhailovich will be making two practice rounds today to make up for lost time.

Grigoriu 1: No time: Grigoriu lost control of the car, went off-circuit, and slammed into the barrier at the notorious Bergwerk corner. Before that, he was complaining, in an almost fearful tone, that the car was too low to the ground and hard to control at the level of pace that the team were demanding.
Grigoriu 2: 3:44.67: After the team had repaired the car using some spare parts, Grigoriu went back out and set a fairly respectable lap time. Grigoriu was a lot more cautious this time around, and said that he felt comfortable going around the back sections - even at Bergwerk. He liked the high speed setting, and also liked the raised car; he felt it made cornering easier and the higher speed offset the increased drag quite well.
(If you have to repair the car again, Grigoriu will have to start the race from the back of the grid.)
Mikhailovich 1: 3:43.74: Mikhailovich said very positive things about his pace, especially on the straights. However, he wasn't quite happy with the cornering; he was able to manage, but says that he would have liked the car a little looser.
Mikhailovich 2: 3:45.25: Mikhailovich didn't like this setting quite as much. And his main issue, the cornering, was not touched. Thanks to those factors, he also didn't have the confidence to push as hard as the team wanted.
Sorry for the late orders, 3-3-3-3 for both racers. I'll promise I'll be on the ball more in the future.
Kuzuki: 3:42.31: Kuzuki was able to complete the lap with no problems and in quite a respectable time, but he says he was not quite happy with even this pace and knows that the car is capable of even more. He suggests loosening the car and raising the speed setting; this way, he thinks he will be able to get the most on straights without sacrificing grip in the corners at this car height. Alternatively, he suggests loosening the car and lowering the car.
Tsuda: 3:44.16: Tsuda did not say anything from the pilot's seat except for rather obnoxiously singing the Carnival Phantasm opening theme, off-key, on repeat, through the entire lap. Tsuda's race engineer pitches in to say that did notice that the car was not quite getting the speed that the Temple machine was capable off; they suggest lowering the car.
Didn't see this updating. Thank you CFC.
Do 3-3-3-3 for both racers I guess, if time allows.
Pierlot: 3:44.17: Pierlot very much complemented the sheer speed of his car's power unit. However, he said that he struggled around corners. He thinks that if he was able to turn the car easier and have better grip around corners, he could set some very tasty lap times that would see the Red Rocket top the leaderboard.
Tornatore: 3:47.24: Like Pierlot, Tornatore was complaining about not having the grip to match the potential of the car's power unit. He struggled around corners and did not have the courage to go at the pace he would have liked to, causing him to lose several seconds. He also noted that in some low-speed corners, where he car was under heavy stress from speed changes, there were some mild vibrations.
Maler Mehndi looks down upon all of you. You don't think, you feel.
Everyone should listen to Maler Mehndi.

Squire: 3:42.70: Much better, says Squire. He likes the changes to the height; he feels that the high power setting is easily able to offset the drag. He also likes the changes to the steering. If he could set more lap times like this, he says, he could prove to himself that he can have qualifying pace.
Bruford: 3:41.66: Bruford likes it, and is getting noticeably very comfortable. He does want to try raising the power balance to the maximum, just to see what would happen.
THEN LETS UP THE SPEED EVEN MORE >

Okawa: 3:42.49: Whatever the team did seems to have worked; Okawa is getting more comfortable and she put out a quite respectable lap time, and one that by her own admission she thought was quite beyond the capabilities of this car. She realises that the raised car height is doing well to offset the increased power. However, she does warn that pushing the car so hard is causing some bad vibrations.
Soimescu: 3.43.55: Well, whatever the team did seemed to do something.
