I dont know how you've driven that Aston Dave. It feels very strange, stiff and soft at the same time and even though the tyre temps are up it seems to loose grip easily. Tried the Exige but had change the setup drastically to introduce a bit of understeer so it didn't throw me off all the time. Only one lap in the Vertigo but that thing will be quick, straight in the 12's.

Well I think I'll be driving the Beamer again...tried the Aston, Spyker & Morgan and the only one I could get on with (just about!) was the Morgan, but it still doesn't come close to the Z4 in terms of handling or grip when canning it around the track.
So far I've managed to do a 1:08.9 in quali trim...not sure I'll be able to get anything more out of it though.
It would be interesting to know what everyone else's times are?

Obviously take what car you want, but with this being a fun race... Why not leave the Z4 for your much slower team mate (that would be me ) If grip is what you're after, have you tried the F430? That's pretty good too.

It would be good to see the faster drivers in the slower cars and vice versa. (No, don't ask me what I'm doing in the Aston! )

Really enjoyed pracci for this but somethings up with my connection and its not worth trying to race. Really frustrated that I keep getting "connection lost" message with no lag and a seemingly solid connection. Just keep getting kicked to lobby where alls well again News cars are very good though Even with a quick go, got the 430 around a half a second quicker than Spyker but it may be the choice for me. Shaping up nicely. Have fun

well that was short and definitely not sweet Stoopid track configuration is always an incident waiting to happen, confirmed by the amount of cars spinning getting tagged. Span trying to avoid the mess down at T1 where two other cars were stranded, then got my wheel sheered off by Daves Aston as he came through. End of race for me. Highlight was 3 abreast down the s/f straight with DG and Prof, got a slight hit on the rear from Prof? but kept hold of it to get through T1 first

Darn PC decided to crash Think legzy was all over me at the time, I hope I didn't cause you any grief! Twas much more fun tonight, back in the old TVR and at least that is sort of competitive against most things other than the Z4.
