Can't say it makes me feel much better Pack pace of 1:30 should mean that I lose about three to four seconds a lap so I might not get lapped by everybody  I am assuming that the race is Intermediate long which is 27 laps. Makes me smile to think you are worrying about bringing up the rear - I would KILL for a GPL rank of 13 - only 215 seconds to find...

That would be good. I am going to have a go at the Through Time challenge or whatever it is called. At least at Monza I don't lose monster time, still can't keep up though

Thank you Billy. I suspect it is not just the setup

Clive, thanks for the advice - I can always exit the hairpin smoothly because a Shift-R sets me up really nicely 

Everything I do is for HER 

I shall be serving HER by ensuring nobody can gain a lap - none shall pass but many will queue <ahem>

Well thanks for that - I was feeling that I might be competitive ish when you said 1:34 but I can't do better than 1:32 at Slosport. Everyone tells me I will get better and that I should drive within my capabilities - well all I can say is that I tried driving round nice and steady and produced a fine series of 1:40's <sigh>. If I drive like a ninja and crash I go faster than that. I just cannot get that hairpin right and I am losing tons of time there. If I try and trail brake I just spin it or side swipe the barriers. Agree with you on Albi, it does look fun. Look forward to seeing your exhaust pipes on track. 

Hristo - how could you doubt me - as I said when I registered - no choice for m e - it has to be the White Whale. ALL my slowest laps are for HER...

TREMBLE

Slow is also a state of being in a hedge and generally a faster chassis helps me arrive at said hedge much more quickly - BTW Vosblod definitely has the wrong chassis allocation - he should be in the Amateurs 

Blimey,

If Juha thinks he should be in the Privateers I'm going to have to have a 10 lap start - and thats in an 11 lap race 

I have now tried all the tracks and I thought Zeltweg was really boring....

... until I realised I'd been practicing on the wrong version 

Never mind. It has, however, confirmed that I need a Category 1 chassis from 1967 to be competitive 

Seeing your GPLRank means you are NOT a novice <sigh> 

He crossed my path

Yeh I hope to be 'in the pack' at the end - i'll have to pace myself so as to get lapped at the right time for that to happen 

Told you I'd keep out the way (notwithstanding #5 appearing in my path at the start as I was trying to take avoiding action - I was surprised it continued. Still didn't last too much longer - gutted.
