I'm aiming for a stable race setup, and I feel I may still be a bit off the pace, but on medium tyres in the BMW (GT2) I've got 1:45.0 so far.

Any of the top enders prepared to give their opinion on what the the opitimum brake disc temps one should be trying to achieve?
300-500 is optimum. More than 500 and it starts to fade off. If you havent already locked up and gone straight on I've tended to run a high duct which helps prevent locking up but its tended to mean i've not got anywhere near those temps. Running with a low duct and those temps means its a bit more tricky gauging it and locking up! I do prefer running this circuit configuration compared to the butchered, more recent versions. Leaving your brakes undercooled so you don't lock up isn't the way to go. You are throwing away stopping power. If you want to stop locking up, lower brakepressure, or change settings of your controller. I can run 100% pressure without problems, but I have my controller brake sens on 25%.

Any ideas on peoples times?
In offline TT (with 0x tire or fuel wear) I got a single high 42 in Qually setup so far. So online I'll have 20kg more weight, still be 10kg short of Ruskus Q-record setting RSR and on a track with less grip then offline TT -> getting nowhere near the record. So a wild guess would be a mid 43 in qually, and 44's in race. And that's only if everything goes right. If it doesn't, add a second. If I do something stupid, like leave my sweater on , I'll end up in a wall by lap 15. Haven't even tested race setup yet, though mind you, the difference will probably only be hard rears, med fronts and more fuel. The track profile seems awesome to me, maybe not for online car racing (just "good" for this), but something I'd really like to try irl with my bike someday. If they butchered it, like you suggest, that's a real shame.

I've just realised that I have no idea how far a set of mediums will go Is a one-stop feasible on them?

Not only is a one stop feasable, it's the only right option . ofcourse the meds will wear out quite fast, but no way a 2nd stop will make that up . Front left will take a beating, but 40 minutes shouldn't be too much of a problem. That said, my already bad wearing Dunlops will get very bad here

Front left? In the RSR it's the rear left. Goes red after just a few laps. (>110C)

That's what you get when you put in the engine at the wrong place

Knackered my shoulders/neck on Friday night crushing (pole, win, fastest lap, and lapped the entire field) Shark and his workmates at Rye House (where Lewis Hamilton started his career). Was just about okay for this race but my internet connection has decided to go on the fritz. Again. Is it just me or is everything useless these days?! Server was full by the time qualifying started so I didn't even bother trying again. Hope y'all had a good one.

No Dave, it's not just you--lag was apalling tonight, and large numbers of drivers were disconnecting and reconnecting during Qualifying, which certainly made it a 'special' night tonight. As if this were not enough, some cars at the back end of the grid were 'warping' during the race--now you see'em, now you don't--particularly tragic when someone has rejoined in front of you following an 'off'. Too hairy for me, so I parked it up.

Same here! Had multiple CTDs during practise, and during the race there were multiple cars warping all over the place... Now you see them, now you don't, but now you do, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and doing half your speed. After spinning a couple of times trying to avoid these cars I decided to park it just in-case it was my connection... However, thinking about it, I race in multiple leagues and never experience these problems elsewhere. Maybe Sunday night is just a bad time for online gaming....

*sigh* I was optimistic for the race today! I had a good consistant pace with this car on this track and hoped to do well. Had to leave the server during qualifying as my screen froze and the graphics went all buggy. After I got back on everything was fine and managed to get a half decent quali lap in. The race itself started OK. (Apart from the lap overtake pit anoncement going off for the whole first two laps ) After a couple of laps I realised I was faster than Ted in front of me but I was not fast enough to make a safe overtake, plus the fact that he was jumping a bit, at one point I had to hit the brakes but still hit his lagged car!!. So I decided to take it easy. We made up a few places as people went of and eventually I got past him. I came up to Psuedo after another lap or so but again was not fast enough to make a safe overtake so I sat there, trying to take it easy on the tyres. Bit of drama at turn 1 ended up with me taking off two team mates...1 permanently. Sorry, sorry, sorry to Psuedo and H@l. Approaching half way point I ended up taking out Mike Hammer. I am really sorry! I felt crap and just drove into the pits in disgust and quit the race. Again, sorry to Mike, H@l and Psuedo! RM
