Shouldn't have the Longford first lap problems here. A lovely wide track but a bugger to learn.

For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, you will be pleased to know its a 'proper' race track, allowing at least 3 cars side by side I expect and it only takes a few laps to learn it, always a bonus, but of course, more to master The last sector is the trickier part with a series of left-right sweeping corners but its wide enough to shrug some speed off if needed before you go picking cocunuts Liking the Burma jungle feel about it. Half expecting a Jap to pop up out of the bushes Nicely done circuit that I had never heard of, and should make for good racing.

Sure I've done a version of this in GTL or P&G in the past, but I don't recognise it. Am banished to London this week, so will miss it Pau does not seem to be in the L25 series bundle. I will go hunt for it, but could do with knowing who's/which version we will be using. Of course there may be only one Umm , I seem to have Pau67 already there. ok, I wil go get my sensible head out of the cupboard

Pau 67 is the right one, but I'll need to check the trackpack, but it's the last add on track, so no real reason to download that pack.

Pau 67 is in the trackpack, but if you haven't downloaded the pack yet, might as well just download the track individually. Trackpack is pretty much only for the start of the season, as a 1 time download to be sorted for the rest of the season.

Who would do such a silly thing Even though I knew of it and was expecting it, I still sailed right into the pits the first go.

how the heck am I 4.7 secs off the lead time here? its not that long a lap! all I'm getting is heaps of understeer your basically not putting the power down soon enough or controlling the power oversteer well enough.. your not carrying enough speed through the twisty bits, it also doesnt look like you are flat out over the hump on the s/f straight and your exit to the last corner is compromised somewhat because your terminal speed up to that hump is slower. there are 2 fast left handers and it looks like your lifting on the second one, you take both these corners flat out and brake just as you exit the second but you must control the brake oversteer into the tight left hander.
