I've been so looking forward to putting on a race here, just about my favourite track I can think of. (There are perks to this director stuff )

If I could just remember that the long flat-out blind comes after the 180 and not the early wiggles I would be doing fine. At least the gravel trap is a good size. Have managed a 2:20 but I hope that some of you lot will appear on the server from time to time so that us noobies can find out where the bar is set! EDIT: Must say that I'm finding the 906 to be a recalcitrant and spiteful beast.

Tried a few laps tonight just to get to know the track, quite tricky in the 906 I must admit. Best time only 2.25

I also find this track/car combination quite tricky .... but great fun too. Got me some fine setup-help from Capt. Clive and but still couldn't do better than 2.22.50. after some 25 laps.

I've cracked the 2:20 barrier in an AI race and expect the aliens to be lurking around the 2:18 or perhaps 2:17 mark, which is what MoTeC says that all my best bits will yield. Good work Stig.

I've been so looking forward to putting on a race here, just about my favourite track I can think of. (There are perks to this director stuff ) One of THE Classic tracks in the world. See this footage of the late Norick Abe making his debut in the 500GP's at the age of 18 and giving the established stars of the day a real shock, until he crashed out in true kamikazee style. This is the race that inspired Rossi. He had it on tape and used to watch it over and over again, up to the point where Norick takes his tumble. I remember being enthralled myself when watching it on TV, it was fabulous to see this wild Jap with his hair flowing out the back of his helmet. Shwantz, Doohan and Co must have wondered who the hell he was. Such a shame that he was killed while riding a scooter round town by a truck performing an illegal manouvre, spooky that Mike Hailwood went in very similar circumstances!! Suzuka is also the scene of the two Senna/Prost coming togethers and where Eddie Irvine upset Senna by unlapping himself round T1/T2 resulting in fisticuffs in the garage afterwards!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPddfY3Lqf8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXMLe8k90nA

Easy as falling off a log! And I've sent you a TT lap. I will be away from home after tonight and will not have any chance to practice before Thursday. Just hope that the M6 plays ball and lets me home in good time.

I knew this convertion quiet perfectly, and after 20 laps with race fuel, I was on the 2.18.7... then I gived a try with 20 liters, and I was 7 tenth down at the first sector... but I threw that lap during the T2... I think that a 2.17 low in quali set is possible for me... but the aliens will do something better... probably a mid 16?!? Let us know something guys Cu

Yes Clive... even the right foot is a bit rusty, it's always better than my thumb

I was going to try a bit of practise online and tried at lunchtime and again just now. I'm getting an error saying that my username and/or password are invalid. Anyone else? I have patched so its not down to the lobby fix issue.
