LOL
Perhaps it is inside the Arctic Circle.

2:00 PB for me in the IROC...at night on the practise server    

This is going to be a BHP circuit for sure. I would remove the Boss/Modena Pantera though, no point in having a car 3-4 secs quicker than some of the others 

[phspok]

Times are still a mix. I think The Pantera Modena may be too fast, but I could do with some more times for a proper rating
The Panty BOSS is slower for most people than the other choices, Only Stig seems to be doing non standard times in it so far.

My best times are currently

Pantera Modena  1:53.518
L88 Hardtop 1:57.422

Both done in TT mode and in daylight.

We usually have a big spread of times at these races so why bother removing cars?  Just put the right people in them.

[phspok]

For the purposes of just the race I agree. However I would like to see what the race is like with a good mix of cars
We may get a good turnout but we may not.
I am leaning towards removing the Panty Modena, to get more people into the slower cars, but will happily leave it
in if slower drivers could make good use of it (LIke me... )

Again I would ask politely that people use a car that gives no faster than 1:57 for this race whatever the choice is.

[Hotkeys]

I just hope, that the Pantera Mondena will be used for some race, it has become one of my favourite cars. I did a 1.52.600 tt lap, and I'm pretty sure, I can find another second. My guess is, that John could go below 1.50  on a sunny day

I will use the Pantera Boss on Thursday.

[simon loynes]

I'm at 1 57,3 now in the 26 daytona using the default settings

[phspok]

Ok, It looks like ~1:57 is the target still. No doubt with more practice and setup tweeks under 57 would be on for those that are already in the 57.something range.
Not a problem if you get a few tenths faster on race night.

I did a few more laps with the BOSS Panty and even taking liberties with the inside kerbs I can't get under 2:01 with race fuel.
I must be missing something  

I liked the Panty Modena too. It has to get a run in the future, it's way more fun than the GTL version for me. Agree with Geoffers about the IROC as well
it's much better in 3. Not sure whether we will be joined by some Italians or not this week, I can't remember when their league runs. I might remove the
Panty Modena in case there are any translation issues.   Maybe they are uncomfortable with keeping two wheels on the road? is same as real racing IMHO
if you keep driving completely up the inside of kerbs for real you get a penalty. Less of an issue at this track, if you get a wheel over the kerb
the dirt will tend to pull you all over the place.

I am assuming people would want a race every Thursday, I am creating events including the Thursday after Christmas, N.B - Tony's Christmas special is on the Friday
using the fifties cars which are always good fun.

[Clive Loynes]

Not sure whether we will be joined by some Italians or not this week, I can't remember when their league runs. I might remove the
Panty Modena in case there are any translation issues.  

I'm sure that Manteos could get the message over.

At St Jovite we had a 9.2 second spread in qually times from the English entry so I feel that we have people who could make good use of the Modena.

If the Italian entry want to race in it then they will have their own race; probably about 7 sec a lap up the road!

[Geoffers]

Oh Matt I think some of the laptimes you have me down for in post #33 are actually Goldtop's times, the only car I have tried is the IROC.

[phspok]

Oh, ah well I have your times in a separate post. I will tidy it up when I get back
I took out the Modena with some misgivings as the BOSS drives similar style though less power. Not had much input from other pace drivers
so I removed it in case some Aliens turn up and haven't read the posts. If someone needs it to genuinely keep up with the field ( I seem to be in that category)
then it can go back in at a moments notice. For a league race I would have left it out no question, but this is a test race so we can be more flexible.

[Manteos]

Hi chaps

Don't worry, cause I always follow your discussions

I asked to Daniele to find a car in which he doen't go under the 1.57 for the race,and I hope he will have some time to spare to try some of the cars in the list tonight. I'm still without a wheel, even if I asked to an Italian factory if they have the broken piece of my wheel to replace it and see if my G25 will work again. If not, I will try to send it to Clive, during x-mas holidays, and see if he can help me in some way. I'm still waiting an answer about the factory regarding that spare part.

Maybe I can just dust off my "easter egg" Thrustmaster wheel, and try to see if I can have still some fun with it, even if I strongly doubt about it. If I'm going to join the race, I will find a car in which I won't be under the 1.57

Cu soon chaps

[phspok]

Surely someone will buy you a G27 for Christmas! 

[Mark J]

Just took the boss Pantera for a drive. What a great sounding car  the engine sounds in p&g3 are the best in any sim I've owned. The flat6 in the iroc is also spot on.

1:58.0 in the Boss and pretty sure I would be in 56 or 57 with more laps in it. It's a darn cool racing car.
