Ps Maikel feel free to give the race a shout over at core. I don't feel I can do that whilst not racing there lately.

As I pointed out elsewhere I'm not able to race this. I've updated the the 1st post to show there will be a 2 hour practice session starting at 6:15pm (UK)
I'll change the start procedure too.

Lotus 25 and I would of been all over it My real life Lotus Elise is being sold and I have been looking at Mk1 1 Porsche Cayman's as a possible replacement. Only thing is I've been reading about this engine bearing problem with the Boxster and Caymen engines  |

Ha knew it! A Porsche convert Bore score can affect the 3.4 engine variant pre 09 only I believe. Just get it checked before you buy, they can stick a scope in and check. |

Jeeeezz, this thing is crazy. I ran an online DTM race first, then took to the Lotus. Man, you really need a mental reset.
Did some adjustements to the dampers and camber and dailed in a fair bit of wing. But looking at the times i am loosing too much speed. So i will have to see if i can get some more practice in before race day.

I think you just need to treat it as a fun sim racing driving experience and soak up the visuals of a grid of old f1 cars. No doubt the aliens will make a race of it but rest of us will hang on for dear life and try and make it to the end without dropping it I was finding 10 minute runs at the weekend tiring enough with pure focus, so 25 after a few mental days at work should be, ahem...'challenging' |

In my opinion 'challenging' is somewhat of an understatement.........

Running with quali tyres and 100% boost makes a huge difference though |

Still amazed I'm sitting just behind Jeff and Maikel in the timings after 4 days  albeit a couple of secs adrift as per normal ...and I didn't even try 100% boost think I was on softs though which hang on for about 10 laps but I don't know how far beyond that  |
