Thanks Mark  Looking forward to this one. Nice choice of cars and a track that is tight and twisty but has a long back straight. Should be fun  |

No probs got a lap count for me to put in? I'm doing a 1.23 lap but its unlikely I am the fastest or the slowest. So if we say 1.23 x 28 laps is 38.7 minute race. Lap 1 will be slower so does 28 laps sound about right? |

Okay have put 28 laps on I'll have to try a few cars tonight. Don't be surprised if I turn up in a Lotus as I find the new 4-pot Cayman and boxster pretty dull  |

I was toying with the Cayman S as I really like it but just can't resist the Exige 240R. It is soooo much fun. |

Boxter or Cayman S for me - I'll loose in it but will be too busy drifting around to care!  |

Can see a bit of paint being rubbed here  40mins might be a bit too long with this combo though  |

Would be nice to see some more times on the board to get a clearer picture of times. Maybe drop it to 25 laps???

Won't let me join because I don't have all the cars. Dreampack 2 is £30 and all I want is the M4 and then I also need the porka pack2
Umm, I'll pass on this one.
Both packs can be bought for 6 euros or something, but I can understand you won't buy it just for this race, but buying keys is a lot cheaper than directly via steam. |

I read it wrong, it's the game + packs that was £30. I have bought dream pack 2 and pork pack 2 (err and 1) Beemer is easiest and most repeatable for me, but I am a bit quicker in the Boxter. Though the two corners after the back straight are "awkward"  |

Well that didn't turn out as expected but hapoy to take the win. Plus pole as well Made an average start but couldn't see where the grey Porka that was on my right was. My radar was showing nothing and looking right and behind showed nothing. So as I was looking around, I ran deep into turn 1 but managed to keep the lead. Realised after that they jumped back to the pits for some reason. After that, it was just a case of pulling away from Maikel a bit every lap to take the win |

Hmm can't say I enjoyed that too much despite finishing 3rd. It just lacked drama, noise and energy for me the cars, whilst nice motors, are all a bit too civilised. Race only livened up for me in last 6 laps as nfsw closed up but still finished a clear 3rd for Porsche honours  The Cayman is awful was quite pleased to turn up and get a red one ...until I took it for a few laps  The boxster is far more lively in both handling and engine drive-ability so something is amiss with AC's model If my CR was that bad I'd sell it! Well done to Michael and Maikel for top two steps of the podium |
