39 laps plus pitstop would make it pretty near bang on 80 minutes

29 laps? Is that right? 80/29 = 2.75. 2 mins 45 seems a bit pedestrian for these cars. adjustments will be made...you have to keep it in mind that SBG sets these parameters.... and he can only test and set them going by his own pace.

And I have yet another problem...
The GT40 has stopped working. The model no longer appears in the game (in the spinny car thing when you choose it) and the game crashes whenever I try to use it. Which is going to make things rather tricky. *sigh*

Is that all of the GT40s? There's a problem with the Team Prodigy one (same number as the TP 911) which stops it from showing up properly.

Race length now corrected to 39 laps. Go get those GT40's (reinstall ) Spadowski as its bang at home here, unlike the Vette which is a "tad" awkward. Can't see me dipping below 2 minutes in it though.

The GT40 is now working. Maybe I had the Prodigy one that doesn't appear selected. I don't know. But I asked a friend to send me his GT40 directory and it now works just fine.
So another crisis averted;) Don't necessarily want to race the GT40, but obviously if the game trying to load one causes it to crash, that's a bit of a problem on Thursday since I'm sure someone will be racing one.
Now I just have to decide what I AM racing. Any suggestions for a nice easy car to drive. Don't want the fastest, just the most fun to drive with limited ability:)

Just done a quick session of praccy online and got some times for ya! GT40: 2.02.3 Escort: 2.00.6 Capri : 1.57.7 Pantera: 1.58.4 Suprisingly even tbh, although I've never gelled with the Pantera, but the Escort is fun, as is the GT40. Decisions, decisions!

Ooh, I forgot about the GT40, I was thinking of taking the slow Beemer, 2:01.9 in that. The Corvette is a nightmare round here for me, only tried the small block one, but can't crack 2:04, all of 0.8 faster than the 914 Think this could be a 40-lapper (rather than 39), several people will be sub 2 mins; after a few laps I was 58 dead in the Pantera with race fuel. May as well fill up our 80 minutes!

914 is probably the easiest to drive in class but will probably be well short of pace on this fast circuit. 906 is probably the safe choice for this one (it's light, it's fast but not overpowered). The 906 is the GTC-76 I've always used before because it normally seems to be the safe option. But I think my driving is improving so I'm really trying to get the hang of one of the other beasts. 2:02 is the quickest I've managed so far, but I can't remember which car that was in?! I'll give that Beamer a try tonight Tony, cheers.

anyone have any objections to me joining in here,not sure what to race at minute,most probably the crapi or 'scort methinks.
ooh,35+ laps should be a bit of a giggle, as long as my mind doesn't wonder.
