As long as Play.com get their ass in gear...I might actually have the game in time for this  Never driven the F BMW cars though...what are they like? All I played in the demo were the SEAT and BMW WTCC cars. |

They don't actually go that fast but are very nippy. Loads of grip and downforce but not much power.
I've just had my first go around brands hatch and they seem fun, should be wheel banging fun. Very easy to drive with the only mistakes I was making was occasionally powering out of the corner too soon.
I'm doing late 1.31 at the moment and I thought I was doing ok, can't see any obvious points I'm losing time.
What times are other doing?

It's arrived!  I'll be installing it very soon and mucking about with it, then jump on the server to learn what these FBMW cars are like! Luckily the demo included brands, so at least I know the track.  |

The cars are easy enough to drive. Load up the simbin set up and that's a good start.

Just done a few laps on this, managed a 31.3 in race trim and a 29.6 with low fuel (I'm surprised it made such a difference?  ). What's everyone else doing? I've got no idea what gd/bad laptimes are for this course/series  |

Are any of you guys suffering graphics stutter approaching the last but one bend (2nd/3rd gear left hander) or is this just my computer or bug. I havn't suffered this kind of stutter on the other races we have had, it to be specific to this track.

It's been smooth for me so far on the sever.
I've taken part in a few races online now and I've had loads of odd instances. Game seems full of problems

Thanks Kerr, I tried the server and it seemed fine, it must just be the single player of my game.

Was more or less the same as you FreQ, more high 1:26's with low fuel but i think its just sloppiness through Paddock Hill Bend that's scrubbing off the tenths!
Had a mess around with the wings...just confirmed i really don't know what i'm doing lol. I get the principles but other than super low downforce at Monza, its rare I get much benefit from tweaking stuff, time seems to be better invested in much needed practice.
I'm sure its blatantly obvious but i can't see it for looking, what time does the race start tonight GMT?
Cheers,
J

Shark, I understand you are the expert from Picnic, but how does one download one owns Avatar from my pictures, in my documents, the facilty under profile seems to only allow you to download from a HTTP, is this right, or can one browse as to where this picture comes from? (ie my picture folder from ones own computer)
Thanks in advance

Go to Imageshack, and browse to the avatar pic on your computer. Click upload and wait a mo. When it's done uploading you're presented with a load of options for displaying it. Copy the text in the "direct link to image" box and paste the link into the text box next to "I have my own pic" under your SRouk profile. Job done. |
