BTW You can get out of the water. I drove across the sea bed, smashed into the harbour wall and shot out of the water like a penguin with a killer whale hot on his tail fins! Trouble is that I then landed upsidedown!

That's good. I tried it and couldn't move, the car just sat there.

just tried this version of Moanaco on my ageing rig and although i only had 5 AI running all seemed OK. Fwiw I have a dual core 2.8ghz and 2 Gb ram ( the old slow sort! apparently ) and a 1gb graphics card running on XP. I might invoke the "Enditall" programme before the race just to be sure that none of my valuable resources are wasted on other stuff. pssst! I just had to try the 427 around here and wierdly the one lap I completed was within tenths of what I could achieve with what might be considered more appropriate machinery. OK. so all my laps were slow, and I am expecting those with dodgy DNA and green scaly skin to be sub 1:30 in race mode, but it was interesting.

I am getting round in 1:38 at the moment, though I am treating the harbour chicane with great respect....

I will do so Matt!! Please do not let it depend on my system only, as mine is not representative forthe averige pc around here. I don't think there is anyone out there who has an older rig then me. Old computers are allright, this is my present race-rig : Stig

I really don't think it's worth me doing this one I'm at 31.6 prf in the IROC which is about where Clive is in the 914, but I can't consistently get through the poxy chicane at race speed My best effort so far is 7 laps before I'm in the drink, my worst is 5 IROCs in a row in the harbour. If I slow down enough to make sure I get through someone is bound to run into me, then I've knackered up their race

Make sure it's a Kerbie! Statistically its more likely to be a Soggie!

If I slow down enough to make sure I get through someone is bound to run into me, then I've knackered up their race The only thing I would say Simon, is that you are unlikely to be the only driver struggling with the chicane. It is the single point that defines this track so expect a lot of spare parts lying about and a few others playing "safe" through that section. Although the circuit layout is identical to GPL, there are quite a few cosmetic differences, the chicane is subtly different and requires a good deal more respect. In GPL I can nail the gas over the crest out of the tunnel and fully expect to take the chicane without lifting on every lap. I would not advise that approach for this race!

Great version of the track - funny - but I can't say how often I ended up in the port basin

I tried the track for the first time last night & my best (of the few laps I actually got through the Chicane) was a 1.36, that was in the Ferrari. I tried the IROC first & found it very difficult around here, I normally get on well with it. Can't see there being too many finishers here!

Lovely rendition of the old GPL-like circuit. My lap times and those posted by others have me scratching my head, tho. How can these cars go so fast? I mean, my PB's in assorted F1 GPL classes are hardly any faster? Mystified...

Blimey Simon 31.6! I [/quote] Rumour has it that the Itallian contingent are sub 1:30

I had some misgivings about this version because of the chicane, but I like it amd no one has suggested changing, ad I don't like to change tracks the week of an event so we go with it. If you haven't already, then do a lot of testing through that chicane as it really is "awkward" I have been testing with the Elan as it's small, I might try the 914 as that should be handy round here.
