Only one problem here, apart from finding some speed!
All the wheel wangling is giving the arthritis in my right wrist and thumb a right bashing!
That and trying to remember which paddle is which when my arms are crossed three times.

Increase the steering angle in your setup?

Sorry to hear you can't make it MJ and Matt as I think this will be a corker. Wasn't Spanner threatening to be join us for one of these PnG outings? Always enjoy racing here and spoilt for choice with the car selection this week. Alfa 1750 and Porsche are great drives as is the Escort which for me is quickest, but will suffer with tyre wear I reckon. Can't wait

I really can't face trying out all these cars so just plonked myself down in the Capri.
The left-hand T4 is a bit of a sod.

Yes i am definitely out i'm afraid :'( After Imola i was hoping for another great race in this class. Its really going to hurt me in the points table too with so many drivers on close points in the top 10

Anyone got any laptimes? I'd quite like to take the 911, but the Capri and Escorts are quicker as well as being easier to drive, and i don't want to be left on my own at the back. Discounted the Alfas cos i never drive those.

You will not be alone, I promise! I would expect the aliens to be in the 1:50s or below. Can't say in what as Matt will ban it!

You just get twiddling yer wheel Nothing will be banned this week. I think the Capri is fastest, but any car could win in the right hands I don't have my times with me, but the 911 was about 2 secs slower for me than the Capri, but I am always relatively slower in Porches to Aliens than in most other cars. In testing elsewhere I am finding the older Alfa2.0 is remarkably fast, and will easily beat the slower escorts Not sure it would here, but it keeps surprising me.

Can't get any of the Alfas to run competetive laptimes here, so I'm seriously considering abandoning my belowed, fullbreed italian 1750 and picking one of those Mustang- look-alikes from Köln. I hope one of the supernaturals from VDA will show up and defend the famous badge from Milano Stig the renegade

If I will be able to join the race, I will gladly accept the challenge Stig I hope to be on time after my football match tomorrow... Do you have some reference laptimes? Cu

My best lap in the 'old' Alfa 2000 as well as the 1750 was 1.53.700, bit I managed a 1.51.300 in das leistungsstarke Kölner-Express. If you have a nice setup for one of the Alfas, I'd love to try it Stig

One more miss for me due to a late appointment tommorrow. But this time that's not that bad as I never liked this track. Can remember having watched some of the most boring F1 races ever years ago in TV at this place, because it's a track where it is absolutely impossible to overtake opponents. Hope to be more consistent in the run for last place in future Have fun guys.

To be honest, I didn't noticed that Capri 2600 was one of the possible choice until I joined the server. I managed a 1.53.7 after a few laps, but honestly I could be able to go under the 53 easily with a good lap. Unfortunately I guess that this car would be usless to fight against Capris, considering that Clive was on the 50.9 in it. Maybe I should reconsider my previous statement. If I'll have some time to practice, I will try the Escort, to see if it gives more chance to be competitive against Capri.
