Gotta disagree with you Jeff about the Escort, I always found it to have quite sharp turn in, trouble is that Mexico really provokes understeer. No other track like it for making your car feel like a barge. Absolutely couldn't get the GT40 round here, ended up doing 55s and 56s, just the worst understeer ever. Had an AI Elan diving all around me on the back section I was so slow.  Beemer was quicker, but still couldn't quite break 1:50. It's going to be an interesting race, lots of minor mistakes running wide on turn in I think, it's not my favourite track, but a nice choice for something different. The big long banking is quite a laugh, a little bit of that oval track feeling. |

I'm going to drive the Escort for this one, got a 1.49.757 with 10.6 gallon in the tank. seeing how some folk are struggling to get under 1.50 I'm happy   just had another go down to 1.48.867  |

i quite like the track after doing some initial test laps last night. Once you get into the rhythm a bit more, its got a good combination of twisties and flat out sections.
It will be a bit 'follow the leader' in the infield but errors will still allow drivers past no doubt and the more powerful cars (BMW) will gain via the straights on the time gained by the porkers in the twisty section. Should be an interesting contest.
1:50.0 for me in the 911 so far and only done a handful of laps so expect to break into 48/49 territory with more laps and tweaks.

Just had my first ever look at this track.....did 5 laps and I'm now totally dizzy    I will probably be keeping my pit crew company for most of the race. |

Gonna take the escort only one of the 4 im consistent in, I think the track is alright ... the last few right lefts do get a bit teadius but there medium speed corners which makes it fun steering with the throttle. Got down to a 48.2 .
c ya there.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to the server? I put the password in and it doesn't connect, just does nothing for a while then goes back to the lobby. :'( Maybe something I need to set up for the router?  |

I can connect to the prodigy server but not UKGTL. :'( Do you mean server reset or PC restart? I've tried restarting the router but it doesn't work...  |
