Welcome Apex Fancy a go in GTC? Sorry to be pushy Dave, is there gonna be a race on the 27th? Need to know when to avoid family, in-laws, "friends" etc. for the important stuff of racing. If a few are away then I'm happy to give it a miss.

No, no championship race anyway. Second half of season 11 will start Jan 3 - we may have a skin pack update test on the 27th.

Cheer Dave and bugger, I'm probably away on the 3rd. On second thought, do it on the 27th While I'm here, gotta mention I tried the GTC Lotus around here last night and its really rather good. As nimble as I guessed it would be, bordering on twitchy, and a wee bit quicker than Spyker for me. If you can put up with the dreadful noise it makes, it would be a nice choice for someone. Got more testing to do

If you're referring to the Exige I'd love to see your setup. I can't get within 3 secs of a time I can do in Z4/Spyker and you're still 3.5 secs quicker in the Spyker than I can go. That means over 6 secs a lap quicker. I am truly not worthy of driving the same tarmac as you!

Practicing? Spend all my time planning how to kill "the boy". Here's the setup I came up with for the Exige http://www.humyo.com/F/9269991-2281966971 To be honest I'm a little disinterested in setting things up and rather use the same setup for all cars so they all have same "feel" (I should do better I know). Pretty sure Oschers is a good track for it and, if I remember right, you only used it in the damp, which isn't something I'd like to try. I got a flat 27 on server with it and was a couple of tenths slower in the Spyker with same amount of fuel.

Thanks for the setup. I did try it a Brno as well. this time in the dry and although I faired better (fell off less) I was so far off the pace it was a joke. When I tested the car originally for Donington I went fairly well but the rain scuppered that, however it wouldn't have worked anyway as the handling went to pot after a few laps.

You can pick any car you want from the GT1's or GTC's. You can go with the C6R. The numbers this season are currently weighted towards the GT1's rather than GTC's hence SBG's encouragement to go for a GTC.

Loved it forever best driving with the MC12 here. Marcos was a bit tougher. Have to see how Aston gets around in this place.

Another familiar track for me - i have to admit i quite like it! I think as it is a relatively short lap here and we run the multi class championship traffic will be an issue in both the race and quali. I'm hoping for a repeat of last week from the team to keep our noses out infront in the constructors championship. Wow, this season is really close!
