Note for H@L:

We raced this new track in PnG tonight, I'd never heard of it before but was great fun, particularly ideal track for GTC I reckon

Never heard of it?  F1 race there for ages.

Fantasy track

srw?

[Legzy]

Wanted to give the Seat another try, I feel like I can be reasonably quick in it, but again despite trying to make the car less volitile, it still snapped round on me about 3-4 times by lap 7... I couldn't take any more.

Still, I've made a couple more changes to the setup to try it again one more time...

Though obviously the next season will hopefully have started first, eh H@L?! (I'm mentioning this following another 5 driver "fun" race)

[Truetom]

If you give it another go, Legzy, I'll take it for a spin as well.
Gallardo is an OP car, so I didn't want to start first, wanted to give everybody a chance.

[SRW]

this is a track I really like, but logging on at 8pm with no practice meant I was not up to speed before the race and was braking way too early at some corners, but enjoyed it.

Good man, yeah I'll give it another go with you (if H@L's happy to delay the season start by a week )

What's that mean TT?
I assume it means something like "it's too strong for the other balanced cars", but nobody picks it because it's hard as hell to keep on top off?!

[Truetom]

Well, I must say I didn't have any troubles for keeping it on track. It only needs a bit of a balance at braking, as front brakes warm up too much and the rears are relatively cold. I assume it's a bit of a reverse problem we had with the Marcos' rear brakes cooling. But the problem here is minimal. I guess it's the matter of a stiff setup and quite high differential percentage (40% power / 50% coast).

Actually made 1:53:6xx with the Seat! Seems a s***y car to drive but it's actually quite fast.
