Because he has sent them flying on a previous lap. That was funny Clive... chapeau However, to answer to Animal Ed. The truth is that I have an old pc, with a very low framerate if I put the graphic details on "medium" or "high", so I've to race with "low" track details. That means that in every track, I see less object then you on track. You can check it by your own,if you set to "low" the voice "track detail". Despite of it, I see the poles at the second chicane, but I don't see them in the first. I will try to set the track details to "medium", and see if I get a chance to race with a decent number of fps. I would like to avoid paying a fine to Clive for destroying his precious reflectors poles

Didn't noticed the second row of Matt's post. So, you just had the answer about what I called "reflector poles". Thanks for removing the cuts Matt

Thanks Mark
It might if everyone uses it, hopefully not everyone will. Not sure about tyre wear, but a well driven Falcon or perhaps Mustang could wee on the little cars.

for me, the Alfa is significantly faster than the rest of the field, but then I've never managed to extract any speed from the big American cars.

For me Alfa is about 0.5 sec faster than Escort who is about 0,5 faster than Falcon ... shame that Alpine 1300 is not listed because she could give Alfa run for the money.

............, I will turn cuts off, but the cut police will be standing at each corner
Shame on you! I had practiced for 30 minutes before I found out that there were any track cuts active, and that was only because I crashed! They are not a problem if you give them enough room. As it is, we are back in the hands of the well known toothless tiger, the cut police!

think im with Clive on that one, if people know there will be a cut warning they adjust their speed and line accordingly, unless the cut warning is totally unjustified/too severe that it spoils the corner. We used to have one like that at srouks Monza which spoilt the natural flow of the fast chicane. It was just too harsh and unwarranted and gave people silly S&G penalties. Not that bothered here. I can understand peoples irritation if they get an s&g just because they got a bit out of shape through a turn, these cars arent always precision elements! Ive not turned a lap here yet in any car not had any spare time this week. Will jump online this eve for some laps hopefully. Thinking of taking an escort as not used one in anger in P&G3 yet.

I have turned them off because to me and apparently others they are somewhat unpredictable There must be a definate line that you cross to trigger, but it seems to depend on exactly how you appoach it I have had cuts there with a wheel on the grass, but not if I keep a wheel on the kerb, but next lap i got a cut when my wheel just brushed the kerb. It seems the cut does not accurately follow the curve of the corner so in the interests of having a fun race I have turned it off. To be fair you get more benefit from cutting elsewhere than that single point, so I doubt it will make a significant difference to the times.

Oh dear! Holy Words! However, I'm not so sure I will able to race on Thursday, despite I turned a lot yesterday with all the listed cars. My reference time in race trim at the moment are: Alfa GTAm 1750: 1.14.3 Escort TC n° 39: 1.16.0 (but I could go on mid-high 15) Ford Falcon Sprint (Terry Sanger - Less power but disc/disc brakes): 1.16.3 (chance to go down on 16.0) I Mustang Gr2.: 1.17.xxx ( I don't remember if was high or low 17) Abarth: I did not try again, so if I remember well, I was on high 19, but I guess it's able to do a mid-high 18) Then I tried a car not listed in the first post, the Falcon Weslake Heads, and even if it was a bit slower than the alfa, it could be surely the best option to give a challenge to the small Italian. 1.14.8 for me (keep this pace however it will very difficult, I've done consistently low 15's. I will base my choice on who will drive Alfas, and I could be tempted to pick the Weslake Heads if it will be added to the list. See you

Terry Sangers Falcon has same power as others except Allan Mann (also white as Sangers) who is the weakest ...
I`ll take Falcon or #94 Escort, not sure yet. Alpha is an option only if the majority appears with ...
