Fuel sorted. Not sure about the white line. Can't remember exactly what it looks like. there is a tight right just before the pit entrance, I think you can probably get into the pits anyway you like, too slow and you might impede others, too fast and you might get speared on the barriers. I will check it out
EDIT: drive wherever you want with the white lines for pit entry, if you go slow enough to stay within them you are just as likely to get in the way as not.

Can't see any obvious winner from this car selection. As a result, I still don't know what to drive!

The Pantera and the Shelby Cobra Coupe were the slowest cars (for me). Therefore, I gladly recommend either of them for the SBRC.

I see everyone is being a bit coy about their actual times again This is in fact a different layout to the one we raced in 2009 in V2.1, so the lap records have little relevance. How do I remember you might ask? Well it was my first ever win and I therefore have a vivid recollection of the race, especially struggling to keep a certain Mr. Gymer behind me for most of it

Pit lane speed limiter doesn't seem to work, Is there a pit lane speed limit during the race?

A lot of tracks in P&G don't recognise limiters or speed limits.

It looks like it is safe to speed in the pits at this track.

Well shunted off & spun round by Frex before we even reach the braking zone for Lap one turn one, that's got to be some kind of (undesirable) record. I tried to get going again despite losing 20 secs turning, but now had suspension damage & just couldn't control the back end. Lost it at the top of the hill chicane on about lap 3 & quit in disgust. Thanks for waiting.Waste of an evening.

Apologies to Nik, ruined your race & just lost interest in carrying on myself with such a stupid error. Again one of the problems of running cars from different eras. Sorry again :'(

Disaster in the pits for me. I entered pits a the end of lap 16 while holding 7th place. But someone was already in the pit behind mine, and I couldn't position my car to start a pit sequence no matter what. So I went around another lap, stopped ok this time, and after setting options, pressed escape instead of enter. Race over.

Thanks for waiting.
My apologies - If i had known what i had done then of course i would have waited. Unfortunately all cars disappeared on the run to the first corner. As i started right at the back of the grid I backed off and fumbled around with the +/- keys to try and get them back. A few cars did re-appear but i didn't see any that i might have made contact with, so thought i'd got away with it. Unfortunately my replay is borked and starts just before T1 with me as the only car on track, so quite possibly i may have had contact with other cars also. My apologies if so. And also to Syd - several times i got close to you and you disappeared, so i thought it safest to back off to avoid any chance of contact. You probably wondered what on earth i was doing.. In hindsight of course the only safe action would have been to esc out of the race at the first sign of trouble; apologies that i did not. Hate night races anyway..
