Apologies, it's the "Big" layout. Don't know if they changed the names of the layouts.

Who’s racing this week? Got a guest at home until wedsnesday so no time for practise until race night, hope it’s an easy layout to learn?  :-\
Have missed most of this series even though I love this car  :'(

Hope to be there, and a had a quick go last night. This is not a track I've seen before and it's narrow, tight and twisty in places with several blind corners - not easy to learn in a short time..! Looks like it will be good fun if/when I know it better though.

I won't be there. I don't enjoy this car, and Weds is now GTL night as well, which will usually win over AC for me.

I can't join the race unfortunately

Guy's, sorry to report that we have not reached our quarterly cost target.

It should be remembered that racing sim sites that cater for the older sims are few and far between and it would be a real shame if this site went the same way as Gamers Crib and Nogrip.

If you have contributed, Thank you  :notworthy:

We really do need your contributions to allow us to continue providing you with all these fantastic races and Championships.

Not that easy - the first half is very twisty.
Personally I prefer the circuit of speed layout as that's what was generally used for Formula Easter, but this should hopefully be interesting.
Not that I've done any practice yet mind :-[

intending to race tomorrow. Haven't done a single lap and don't know the track. Hopefully some spare time tonight.

just had a very quick recon. Nice track though more like a special stage in a country estate than a race track! Fezza feels good here though. :)

That's because the twisty bit (circuit of skill) was only really intended for bikes ;)

It'll be interesting tomorrow for sure - and very warm if I forget my fan again!

I can't to be with you today sorry

Had a chance to put in a few laps yesterday. Nice layout and the 250 wants to be sideways a lot of the time.  ;D  Will be hard to overtake around here as it is fairly narrow indeed. Really do hope that there are more drivers with a little less pace than what I saw yesterday evening. I am a whopping 6 seconds off pace...

i'll miss this race, sadly

Small grid, but entertaining racing still. I guess it puts people off having to learn a unknown track in the holiday season. Good to see MJ made an effort to take the GTO to the track despite not knowing the track.

At the start FMG was off into the distance, he must have been using hyper softs or something.
Frex and I had quite a similar pace and we kept pushing each other all race. With a couple of laps to go Frex started to burry the throttle and reeled me back in, but I guess he was on the limit as I was seeing clouds of dust off the corners and a very sideways going GTO in my mirrors.
That must have forced him to make a slight mistake somewhere as I could not see him anymore in the final lap.

Enjoyable car on a enjoyable track.

Yes big shame on the crap turnout again  :( I don’t know why everyone has disappeared but guess once grids get smaller it’s a downward spiral as less bother to turn up for a small grid  :'(

I had hoped to get to grips with the layout after a few laps but complete lack of practise and seat time in general and the fezza in particular left me woefully off the pace. I played a lonely rear gunner for half hour but then parked up and retired.
Love the car but 40mins again with only 5 cars  ::) I like a new track now again but it backfired on me this time with no chance to practise it.

We need a new popular series pronto or this place will die out.

Yep, exactly that, great race Stefan. Had someone to chase and/or chasing me almost the whole way and that was lots of fun!

Congrats podium.
