Just got down to 2:8.25 - a perfect lap, all braking and apexes spot on. Now disillusion me folks and show me how far off the pace I really am.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to get off the line in the Mini (on autoclutch) ?
No matter what I try, it's either wheelspin and/or bog down. In a quickrace, I'm being passed by a Mini starting from 3 rows behind me, so unless the AI is cheating, there's obviously a much quicker way to do it.
Cheers, Erling
Sorry Erling but I cannot offer advice. I just think it's the nature of the beasty.

I use autoclutch, but have a manual clutch key mapped as well which I use for starts. Clutch key in, chosen revs, clutch key out while managing the throttle to avoid wheelspin - quicker than the "pure" autoclutch way. Haven't tried any starts with the Mini yet though so I don't know the rev range for it.

Thanks Tony and Tibernius, guess I must try the clutch key solution. Bill, sorry, but have done a 1:51.475, and that's NOT the fastest laptime we're going to see, I'm afraid.. Cheers, Erling

Two points to make before tonights race.
Newbies to online racing. As soon as qually finishes get your race fuel in your car, you may not get long before the race start countdown begins, and you do not want to be left in the garage while the rest are off racing.
Backmarkers and lappers. It will probably be best if backmarkers allow lappers past by slowing and getting out of the way if possible. And lappers, please be patient and wait to be let by slower cars.

Car of my choice will be the Mini - only one to drive below 2:00 (sorry Bill). 2:01 in the 911 and 2:07 in the Nissan and much more damage in these two cars Thanks god for Geoffer's setup!

Sorry to the race leader (Dimetrio ?) I spun and in trying to turn car around was moving in wrong direction as you came around. Didn't realise I was so far behind it was 89 seconds earlier when I checked out Xd.

Similar issue here with roguk - sorry, I hope I didnt destroy your race, mate. Great PB in quali for me but race was terrible. However the Mini is always fun to drive. Good to see some new faces! CU again on June 23th - holidays

Had Tony and Roger's RS1600s battling it out in front of me after the 1st corner and they had a coming together at the right hander before the tunnel. Entered the blind right hander only to find two RS1600s blocking the track causing me to hit one or both of them. After that the handling and particularly the brakes were a bit dodgy (pulling right under heavy braking) hence my earlier post. Pleased to see you both finished OK.
