You need to sign up at Pilsbierbude.de in order to download the track.

You only need this track and not the entire Pilsbierbude mod collection. That entire collection is for joining Pilsbierbude servers. Goodness knows what the size of that is by now.

Have to admit I don't like this track.

I can get low 1:28s on a quali setup.

Not a bad race and not a bad track, I think it would be better suited to slower cars.

I kept losing control and had to repair damage and sort out a puncture as well. ::)

Well done QS.

Thanks for racing all.

Didn't really like the track too much but then might just be my lack of car setup knowlege. I just used the C6 Vette with my Sebring setup and changed the wings and ratios.

Very suprised at getting second in quali as I could only manage 1.28's in a wee bit of practice.

on the first race lap I was right behind Apex but he went a wee bit wide and slowed so I got passed then returned the favour a lap or so later then he went off and I took the lead again and stayed there increasing the gap every lap.

Towards the end of the race (the last 4 or 5 laps) my fronts were starting to wear down drasticly I ran soft front and med rear but luckily still managed to get a near perfect race and my first win with the GT's

See you next week for "The Ring"
