Wonderful track / car combo, IMO. It's a heap of fun to toss the mini's around here. This should be right up Ades's alley, and he can pick the 1275 I wonder if the other fast guys like John stand a chance against him in a 975, should be fun to watch. I'll be in the 1275 as well, and I'm at 1.05.930 on low fuel and soft tyres. How fast are you guys lapping ? Stig

Not likely, I'm struggling to get into the 1:05s at the moment! I imagine this is Clive's worst nightmare - being forced to drive a Mini, and not just any Mini...the least powerful one

It is another round of the BTC MJ. The next race after this goes back to the usual cars. This marks a transition between the first and second parts of this season. You will be able to change your car choice, if you want to, for the next three races.

He, he ... sounds very promising John is struggling to get below 1.06, Clive hates the car, MJ hates the car and Eifelblitz dislikes the car. Don't bother to practice guys, it's just one race. These go kart like contraptions are not for pro's anyway, so you're better off focusing on the grown up cars instead. Just leave this one to Ade and me , we're not afraid to drive gokarts Furthermore, you'll be in fine company. This guy NEVER drove a gokart, and probably never got drunk either Stig

Count me in to the back part of the grid too... Although I can easily win races against 120% AI, in real life I can’t better MJ’s times at the moment. Does anyone have any special recommendations on how to take the most speed trough the more challenging corners 3, 4 and 5??
See you tomorrow!

Perhaps try to let the engine do most of the braking entering turn 3-4-5. And then phone Sir Stewart . . . . . he can tell you exactly when to hit the throttle again Stig
