Hurrah! I should be back for this one after missing the last 2 races. Anyone have any idea what a decent GTC time is around here? I thought there was a fun race a while ago but I must be mistaken as I can't find anything in the results. I've managed a 1:30.1 so far, I'm sure there's a fair bit of room for improvement!

GT1s were going round in the 23s and 24s.

Did my first 20 laps or so at Sugo last night and there's only one thing to say about it. I LOVE IT! Aliens: pointers please. Car height? Suspension&wing settings? Brian... you know what to do. Vertigos will enjoy this one.

Prof and I are practicing atm and we're wondering if that stupid chicane before the pits and car setup folder being designated as Sugo06 on default suggest this isn't Sugo Classic practice server...

Just thought I would suggest for people to practice the pit exit. It's very sharp and if you go slightly too fast you will simply run out in front of oncoming cars.
I'm still not a fan of this track, I can't build up a fluency at all. The kerbs are murder too, they don't half spit you out when you run on one.

The pit entrance isn't too clever either....comes up on you at a tremendous rate whilst you are still settling after the final fast turn. I quite like the circuit though, I reckon it has a good flow to it, but I agree with Kerr on the kerbs...very unforgiving. Lapping s gonna be ... ......Done carefully?

am hoping to make this one despite announcing my retirement from the enduro season until my house move. I just couldnt allow DG and SBG to run away un-molested (oo-er) in the championship standings. Now rue-ing my quit out of Hock the other week On 29's in the RS so far, but only spent half hour with it. The kerbs are truly evil here, slippery as a penguins ass, and really un-settle the porker.

It's the one between the 2 and 3 last corner that catches everyone out. Run wide on to that and the car launches itself towards the barrier on the other side.
I can remember a few doing it last time.

Haven't driven the circuit yet, but will try it later today Random Q - After doing the lower endurance last week it struck me - why are there lower classes in this endurance series? GTC seems to race in both Upper and Lower Enduro...what's up with that? Which one do you race in if you run GTC? It lists GT2 for both as well, so I'm well confiused now. Did I enter the wrong race last week? A little clarification would be nice from the overlords
