Hmmmmmm, I'm begining to wonder if I'm being "a little" over enthusiastic with my engine braking on turn in . I can normaly get away with quite a bit of abuse in the Gt3rs or F360. Would you be able to mail me your setup for comparison?

GTL has completely and utterly ruined me, I've lost all (any) GTR feel I had As for the chicane's, we've got 40 mins or roughly 25 laps. Two tyre barriers per lap equals a scary 50 opportunities to end up wrappped around something metal. The question we gotta ask ourselves is- do we feel lucky? Well, do we?

Give a man a fish- he'll eat for a day. But give him a fishing rod and... he'll break it up for firewood, or just possibly, swap it for a fish.

I hang my head in shame, I accept complete responsibility for the shambles I created in the 1st chicane. My apologies to those whose race I ruined especially Pops. I just saw red with the manouvre you pulled on the start Pops and was determined to get the place back. No excuse though.

Locutos, I can understand how you felt, Greg did that to me in race 1 so I nicked the idea! I'm pretty sure I accelerated as Shark had gone over the start / finish but if I went a bit early it really was entirely unintentional so apologies it that was the case. I was quite disappointed, that was my best qualifying session ever. No hard feelings though mate Pops.

Well thats my race trashed Got myself upto 6th or 7th after first few laps, running well for a couple of laps, then a porker loses it front of me whilst a mosler whacks me up the arse to send me spinning, rejoin last in 14th? Fight my way back upto 11th and going well. On lap 11 or 12 coming up behind the lapped Demonic Dan....he hits the tyre wall chicane big time right in front of me, i'm approaching flat in 4th with a choice between hitting Dans disabled Porsche broadside or the tyre wall ....i tried to aim for the gap as there was no way of stopping and slammed into the tyre wall....suspension damage race over :'( Gutted, as despite dreading this race as i'd never been here before, found a sweet spot and was running well. I even got a new pb 2 secs faster than my original. Cant catch a lucky break in this series yet :'(
