I've always quite enjoyed Enna. If you survive the first couple of chaotic laps it's a real test of concentration.
That said, I've not practiced as much as much as I'd like so I'm hoping I want be too far off the pace.

By 'clear violation' we don't mean touching the gravel - we mean driving straight through without any attempt to follow the course of the chicane. Ok, sorry to be a pest but I could do with a little clarification here if possible. (not questioning the rules or the implimentation of them.....just so I know which lines I can take and which would be taboo ) As an exapmle, the final two turns before the s/f straight at Enna have small areas of 'grasscrete'. Would we be penalised if regularly putting two wheels over this area?

For the lefthander your right tires should be on the curb maximum. The inside wheels (in this case) can be on the grasscrete. Atleast, this is what the rules allow.

Actually that's not what the rules say, they say Each driver should endeavour to keep the full width of all their vehicle's wheels within the boundaries of the track at all times. The track is defined as the normal road surface, which at most tracks is definied by white lines at the edge of the road, plus any painted curbs. Areas of grass, gravel, sand, and areas painted green (including so called 'grasscrete'), are not part of the track.
.....so both the inside wheels can be on kerb at max, but not inside it on the grasscrete.

Hmm, than they must have changed, and in that case, the rules get broken all the time. As far as I knew, the rules used to say, always 2 wheels on the track. Edit: saw Dave's post, so don't quote me

Please stop quoting selected parts of the rules. GTR2 will be relied on to enforce the cutting except where it fails to detect completing bypassing a chicane or driving completely off the track at a corner. I don't believe that there is anywhere at Enna where you can get away with that.

wow...TT I get the impression you dont like this track much eh!....It would be a shame if your not in the lineup though....you would be missed. I didn't like the track much either at first....but the more practice I put in the more it grew on me...and now I quite enjoy it....the Endurance is going to be a BIG challenge....to everyone....it will take good driving skills just to survive....I'm actually quite looking forward to it.
