Great vid Jeff, that looked a lot of fun  OK, stupid question time... is drifting the 'correct' technique for the Caterhams, i.e. is it faster than not drifting? I'm down to a low 1:36 but if I'm seconds off the pace because I'm driving it wrong then I need to know!  Thanks These CR260's are pretty underpowered, so drifting would only make that worst. I find the cars a bit understeery, so I sometimes use a small flick in to get the nose pointing the right way earlier, but not sure if that really helps. Cornerexit should never be with wheelspin I think, but it is alot of fun tho  |

I've done a 1:37 after just one flying lap on the Simbin setup so I reckon you'll be okay. |

I'm down to a low 1:36 but if I'm seconds off the pace because I'm driving it wrong then I need to know! You're never going to lose much time by driving tidily. I managed a mid 1:36 after a few laps. Hopefully I'll make this one. Been really busy the last couple weeks moving into my first flat, but I could do with an evening off. |

I'm going to try and make this one as I really want to drive the Caterhams. I don't normally DO Mondays, but I'll see if I can make an exception. No practice, but who cares, these cars are fun whether you practice or not.

I don't know what to make of the Caterhams as I struggled badly on my trial a couple of weeks ago.
I will log in for a bit of practice later and see if I can get the hang of them and if I can, I might race tonight

Welcome and have fun tonight. Thanks for the Welcome, I'm sure i will have fun racing with you guys tonight. Are many of you from gpl as you use the same password as ukgpl? I havn't been running race07 much (so i dont know if i'll be on the pace or not) as its so hard to find anyone racing online at decent tracks with decent cars. I had a quick praccy and a did a 1:35.0 |

May I curse Simbin with a thousand cockroaches. It's probably because everytime someone else restarts the server they have to log in to Steam with their own account and all the settings revert back to what they had last. It's very annoying that we have to effectively buy another license for the server to sort out this mess. I don't see any other option than us using some of the server donations to buy another copy just for the server so we can always login with a common SRou account and then never have problems again. |
