Similar to Goodwod event earlier, Cars are likely to change a bit.

"Probably" I've not been able to do much extended testing yet, if someone would post times for all the cars that would be most helpfull. I had the Lotus Tina in at first, but it seems to fast. Ferri and Alfa 1300 are a bit faster than the others for me.

Have we bottomed out the problems that we had in 2011 when we tried to run this track. Is it the same version?
In PnG v2, the Cortina and 1300 Alfa seemed to rule at 1:10ish.

I think I remember some problems when we raced here too Clive, but no details. However, I do remember racing at NG in 2.1 around the same time and we had no issues at all.

Only problem I remember is the glass wall at T2. Did we have other issues?

Disconnections and an inability to reconnect thereafter as I recall.

That seems to be a common disease at present, not sure it's unique to this track?
Possibly related.... does anyone (Mogget)? know who GC use for their hosting company?

Is it just me, or do the grip levels seem a bit goofy here? Had a quick test in the Lotus and Alfa and they wanted to flip over on every corner I seem to remember we had a very wet race at NG, so maybe that was the reasoning behind it

And I've found the glass wall! No "flipping" problems with the TR4 but I have had the little tin box on its lid a couple of times. Think that's just because it's shaped like a dice and behaves accordingly.

I recently upgraded Pembrey airfield for an FSX airfield scenery package, and I added the basic track layout to that (just an asphalt strip that matches the base photo image, plus a few parked cars, trucks etc). The track is only a few hundred metres south of the runway 04 threshold.

Oh yes, even TR4 wants to flip over, actually I did that successfully in more than one occasion ... Only car that doesn`t have "flipping" problem is Mini and only Mini that can keep up with TR4 and Alfa is Britax ... of course in my hands.

The track will be fine when they have finished it!
Another couple of hours to put some brake markers going into the hairpin would not have gone amiss!
EDIT: The cars that I have tried all seem quite evenly matched. And they are all 'orrible!
