Erling G-P - 1:49.238
Dominic - 1.51.516
Matt R - 1:52.045
EvilCive - 1:55.792
Wiltshire Tony - 1:55.98
Special KS - 1:58.9

during my tests of new GTL install I decided to use this a benchmark trial.
did 5 laps and got a PB of 1:55.792.....and it was not pretty lol. I think several marshall's posts were traumatised in the making of this lap!!

Got to 1.52.835 before I realized that in praccy mode there's no replay or registration of the laps(s)  :laugh: :death:
Gonna start over in qualy mode lol.

Side rant: wish there were mechanics available so that it actually would be a driving challenge rather than a setup challenge for those of less than adequate mechanical intelligence.

Or race mode with 0 competitors

Thanks, yes, managed to figure that out.
1.52.275
Grrrr, so close......

Perhaps I need to use full power  ::)
I was sure I had run in prac mode, and got replays.... qual mode sometimes gives you better times anyway

You'll need that full power then  ;D

1.51.516

(Other) Aliens please ignore this thread.

There's better in it yet, but for every good lap there's 10 with spins or crashes and as per usual I'm already knackered again.

hey!!! I'm leading the spins and crashes challenge, especially the spins bit  ;D :-\ :-\ :-\

Yes, I definitely get hot lap replays in practice mode. Maybe a setting for it in plr file?

Good time Dom, but you need to find a bit more time yet. :whistling:

 :oops: Sorry, supposed to be ignoring this thread.

AHA!!!  :o :o :o :o
Geoffers finally admits that he is an alien and we have it in print, right here. I always knew that smooth exterior disguised a grey alien persona and several extra limbs.
Now we just need a few other of our members to blow their cover.  ;)

I get replays in offline praccy just fine, while I've often don't get working ones in online praccy.

Don't worry, I had/have no illusions. If it were the P&G Modena version then maaaaaaaaybe but never in GTL.
Go on, what's "a bit"? Three seconds or so?

No Dom, only just over 1s. Such a long time since I have driven it, I could not find a setup for it, so had to start from scratch. If I spent some more time on it, I could probably find some more time but I doubt I will have another go at it with RRE tomorrow & GTL on Monday to practice for.

This seems like a nice track (car does a good job of masking it...  ::))

Best time so far is 1:49.238 - and it was HARD work getting that!

Congratulations to Erling G-P  :notworthy: who wins Round 1 of the LeaderBored Challenge.

Now it's  time for Round 2............

Olo Ruso - 1:47:607
Hristo Itchov - 1:49.316
Erling G-P - 1:51.137
Wiltshire Tony - 1:51.650
SpecialKS - 1:51.794

Nice, unexpected, and let's face it, only beause the aliens didn't partake..  :)

Should I submit hotlap replay, or am I considered trustworthy enough ?  :whistling:

Grats Erling, faster than I could manage.  :notworthy:

Thanks, but that sounds unlikely  :)

But true!

How many laps did you do - 2 ?  ;D

Don't be silly, just the one.  ;D

Seriously, about 15 - 20. Best time was 1.50.4.

If you guys hadn't noticed that track is actually the old Mexico City track with added undulations.

Well, I did a few more...  ;)

Hadn't noticed the likeness with the Mexico City track, but quite like it; just not crazy about the Pantera.

As if the winner isn't an alien....

I have no doubts whatsoever about the veracity but I wouldn't mind having a look. Always learning and all that.

At the very most, only ONE of my parents was an alien...  ;)

Is there a place I can upload the replay to ?

Otherwise PM me an email, and I'll send it to you.

I would like to see the replay, but only as I'm curious. Not for any legality issues.

If you let me have it, and if you don't mind, I can post a link to it.

No problem Tony; no secrets so feel free to post a link.  Will you PM me your current email? - I'm not sure I have it.

Don't overlook Round 2 chaps

Sorry, forgot to submit my current best time:   1:51.137

1:49.316

Just to fill the grid: 1:53.142  :P

:thumbup1:

I present my time as x.xx.xxx, meaning too embarassing to even register  ;D
Why not something easy such as the Mazza 5.7L on the Targa Florio?  ???

Erm, probably not. it's hard enough getting driver's interested in these "easy" events  ;)

Small update/improvement: 1:51.794  ::)

Wiltshire Tony - 2:10.560
Dominick - 2.13.something

Thank you Tony, very kind.
Probably I will race goodwood tomorrow  :)
Cheers

Not getting anywhere near that so far: 2.13.something.
But to stir some enthusiasm:
It's a damn fine car-track combo -at least once you get the lay and feel of the track which took me ages.

I'll finish here due to lack of interest.

Sorry Tony. I've been concentrating on the R3E competitions recently

Me too.

I am around half a sec behind Geoff yet more than 20 places back at Silverstone!
