Anybody got any times to aim for yet? I did some laps on Friday before going away for the weekend and best was 23 dead. Looking back at my stats I have a mid 22 on the older build.

I was running low 23's with a tweaked setup carried over from Sebring, taking the fuel out got me into the 22's but the laps have all been pretty ragged.

I haven't managed to break 1:24 yet I managed some pretty competitive times in the Indycar at Brands so it's a bit baffling that I'm so far off the pace (2s by the look of it). I'm hoping it will magically all come together tonight

To finish first, first you must have fins.

When the cars grid, they line up double file. Race control tells you to "follow the X car", X being the number of the car in front. When everyone in on the grid, the pace car starts the lap and controls the pace, you just need to keep up with the car in front and not crash into thecar next to you It can be helpful to go single file through the tricky bits. At the end of the lap, the pace car pulls into the pits. The pole sitting car can then go when the green flag is shown. It's easy enough to follow Dave's advice though!

Mad as a box of frogs at a narrow circuit like Brands obviously, but clear enough.

You don't have to go strictly double file, it's OK to lag back a bit to give the car in front a bit of space into the turns etc.

AND towards the end of the warmup lap when the grid comes closer together.
