I will miss this as I am banished to darkest Brum...   :'(
Roller skates and big squealies on a bouncy track  :devil: :scared:
If a good few people turn up will be a hoot  ;D

No doubt aliens will get very different times, but for me all 3 cars are 1:01.7
With the basic setups as below.

Oh Dear!

Never manage to get anywhere with the Arbarth whilst everyone else makes it fly.

Had great fun testing this one  :laugh:
Track is a bit "bumpy" and the camber changes are challenging at times
chucking the little cars (particularly the Arbarth "Bug") around is entertaining
and the Squealy understeers some, but makes time up on the straights
and can be powerslid over some of the humps  8)
Gutted that I will not be here for it. :(

Not sure to love the track, but should be there.

Cars selected aren't so often, a nice opportunity to race these ladies...  8)

I should be able to race again with P&G 2.1 after a long time :)

At the moment there's no UKP&G server in lobby ;)

I will do some laps offline cause I never raced here. Hope to see you later :)

It's a great little track :) I assume you'll be in the Abarth?

Yes John, I guess I'll be in the Abarth. It's the funniest car to drive around this circuit IMO. The Alpine A110 it's a bit tedious to drive around here, and the Healey is really fun, but I'm far from my best lap in the Abarth, and I haven't a good pace in it.

These are my best laps offline at the moment:
Abarth Gr.5: 58.2
Alpine A110: 59.2
Healey MK II: 1.01.2

In that case, I'll take it as well. Have managed 57.8 so far, and am about a second slower in the Healey.

Fantastic times you two.

Place is crawling with aliens!  LOL

If Marco and Solmyr turn up then the best any human will manage is 5th!

Check your mail Clive & team, shaved off a few tenths with setup tweaking.

Thanks John,

I tried the revised setup but ended up heading back to my own.  I spent so much time swapping and changing gear ratios that by the time we had finished qually I didn't know if I was on foot or horseback!

Grats on the win and also to Manteos and Geoffers.

Very nice little track made for small and versatile cars like the Abarth.

Was fun for sure, but race was eating left rear tyre very early so I had to
concentrate on "tyre recovery" which was simplified by some mistakes  ::)

This time I wasn't able to improve my pb fom quali but could run comfortably in front
of Alex and Tony. After Tony's dismissal and some mistakes Alex was able to pass
so I tried to get closer and overtake him again. I was about 4 to 5 seconds behind
Alex when suddenly the counter told me that I was one lap behind him  ??? .
As I had increasing problems with my rear tyre i decided to quit cause there would
have been no chance to gain 5th place again  :(
This time no problems with game steering  :)
Grats to the 4 racers under 1:00  ;D
Strange: tested some of their setups submitted - thanks John and Clive - but was a bit
faster and more stable with my own.
Thanks for organizing all these events, guys  ;)

Managed to find the DRS button and mixed it up with some KERS  :D

No really, something strange happened there. Thought you would overtake me and all of a sudden you disappeared. Wormhole?

4 laps down. Ouch! Should have sticked to the Alpine... Naaaaah.
