Does anyone have any lap times? I am trying to figure out what the lap count should be.

Sorry probably wont till later.

My best lap times are in the 2.15s so far. There might be a couple of seconds still to gain as I'm not familiar with the track.

Lap count calculated. 1st post updated.

Thanks for info.

I can't remember the last time I got pole :o
I think I only managed to complete one lap, I kept bashing into corners either through understeer or oversteer as my setup was very edgy to try to make the Viper turn!
Was lucky to remove most of the unpredictability out of the setup, just as the session turned to race.

Had an obvious advantage on the straights, only to admise Apex catching me again through the twisters at the top of the hill. Lucky for me, nearly two of the three sections on this track favour power, so each lap I managed to eek out a bit more lead to build up a safety buffer. A buffer that I needed all of, as with 1.5 laps to go I mullered my car in the tristers & lost all but 1sec of my advantage :o

Scampered off to the next straight & put the pedal to the metal & thankfully made it to the end in 1st place :sweatdrop:

Well from a track review perspective, that's one track to the cars with power & one track to the cars that can corner so far! I've done Cadwell in old GTL days & it normally led to classic 'POWER vs HANDLING' battles 8)

Have never got on with bathurst in iR which translated to this, where the car was too twitchy, i always cockup the last section on the mountain and end up jst bouncing between the barriers. I would only have lasted a few laps anyway. the porsche was not suited to this track.

I seem to be making excuses each week at the moment but I've not been well all w/e and went to bed at 8 last night  :-[
