With a chance for a mildly moist track on Sunday, I'm looking forward to this massively. Had another consistent drive in the sprint, hopefully there'll be a few less incidents and the Legends can put some pressure on the Sharks.

I was dreading this but despite my unhealthy grid slot on Tuesday night the results were very encouraging and the Zed's frugality and reliability should both help on Sunday. I just hope my ADSL connection can stay up for long enough!  |

I just hope my ADSL connection can stay up for long enough! When mine was playing up I used to manaully reboot it before a race as the newly negotiated settings always seemed to work fine for a couple of hours. |

I did that last time but I always worry that by resetting it back to the fastest speed it'll hasten the next down/slow/up again cycle.  |

I will be there later. I have got a new joystick as my other one was just no good. I didn't realise how crap it was until i started using this. I'm not used to it though yet, the steering control is so much better I can't handle it . I am thinking about just sitting qualifying out and staying at the back. I don't want to chance repeating the sprint race. I am going to get some praccy in. I got a 2:20.2 with my old stick, up to now I have got a 2:25.5 with the new one. see ya later ReignMan |

Quick question... is the pitlane exit at the bottom of the hill where the light is? or is it on top of eau rouge - where there's a white line? am wondering when the limiter should come off - thanks!

The pit exit is is where Jon says, but the limiter comes off at the set of lights at the end of the pit wall. |

The pit exit is is where Jon says, but the limiter comes off at the set of lights at the end of the pit wall. Just to clarify further, the limiter comes off (automatically for most if not all of us) at the first set of lights immediately after the garages end, just before the bottom of Eau Rouge. However, you must remain within the white lines of the exit road until passing the second set of lights at the top of the hill between Radillon and the kink which marks the start of the Kemmel straight. That also means that you should not cut the "mini Bus Stop" just before the point where the exit lane merges back onto the proper racetrack. |
