If anyone's planning on doing online praccy sessions, post up here and will try and join you..it's Xmas playtime after all Not seen a server in days. Trundling around Monza in these recalcitrant beasts all on my tod isn't half as much fun as leaping into the Capri and having a bash on GC!

Just a thought Clive, but you are running the 1988 version of Monza in the link aren't you?
Might be good to call it Monza 88 in the announcement Matt as it caught me out when I first read it.
Edit: Actually, I can't see any of our servers in the lobbies at present.

Thanks Tudor. That has accounted for one second.

Struggling to get this event to move from Fun races to Sports Car events. Next event is Goodwood, this is the week after. By all means try it offline. Is Monza 88, as I said in the first post, but deleted it when I thought It had appeared in P8SC because I hate the modern 1st chicane, is daft with these cars for me.

I agree about the modern chicane Matt.
If I ever manage to spot a brake marker for the 88 version I might get somewhere!

Yep, Took me 15 laps with the MK2 before I could complete one. It is is an awkward braking zone for the 1st chicane. The Panty is an easy drive here, and is only a little off the pace on raw speed makes up for it in consistency, and it corners and stops better Not tried the Grand SPorts yet, there are two years, the later Penske is fastest. (maybe too fast? let's see what people get) This is a Tudor inspired event. Just before the 200 Metre board works for me for most of these, MK2 excluded as they forgot to connect the brake pipes. NOTE: As there is no PG3 race next week, I have taken the liberty of running this on the server for practice as well as the Goodwood event.

I spent a couple of hours trying to tweak the 906-8 into submission. Eventually put in some low 2.02's in it I'm obviously not a porsche works driver it's a feisty little beast. Only managed a low 2:03 in the GT40 so far but only done a handful of laps in it. Amazing that even on a fast track like monza it feels like its not getting a chance to really stretch its legs. To spruce up my offline practise, I ran it as a 'race weekend' ....my god this is an amazing looking mod. watching all these amazing cars from that era in action is jaw dropping.

2:03s in the Pantera so far. Think I can knock another sec off that at least with more laps. Other than overheating brakes, it feels the most driveable of the set as well quick.
Could only manage 2:04s and 05's with the vette grand sports though, but no prior knowledge of setup or driving style with these.

Well if Mark's doing 2:03, I assume most people are 1:59? I best get myself on track for a bit of practise, cause them there are fighting words!

I can't get the GT 40 right, but I have a notion, it will the winner of this race. Managed 2.02.100 in the Pantera in just 5 laps, so that will be my choice for sure Stig

I appreciate that the server has other fish to fry but when is a good time to look for some on-line practice?
Or putting it another way, just when is the PnG server supposed to be available?

I'm at 2_00_39 in the default 906 and I'm pretty sure there's another 0.75 in the lesmos and the parabolica

Server was restarted after the P&G Goodwood, and it is running again now. Not why it would be down, "it" happens...
