I expect the server can be 'wound on' if necessary. Personally I may have fallen asleep by then.

I've never run Enna, but reading a couple of comments on what to expect in other threads.... lol EDIT - Just found this while looking for an idea of how Enna is to drive - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5oatlnF1R1E I think I can see the dodgy tyre stacks & wow, aggressive kerbs! p.s. Don't invite that driver to SROU, hits opponent out the way to overtake every time

phew i almost forgot what big Kahunas you need for those two high speed chicanes with nothing but a tyre wall for a vista !! i still hold my breath every time i go through them I felt like a Porsche test driver from Weissach sent out to do some exploratory runs in this seasons 997 I must be improving i didnt write a single Porker off in 38 laps of testing it used to be standard form to write off half the Legends fleet in practise for this place By the way who typed the tech specs for this car?...was it Bob after a few drinks? its labelled as a 9 77 GT 2 Did anything change to the physics for this car since the last release? Getting weird tyre wear/pressures on left rear. Could just be a setup thing but i tried variations of rear arb and springs without luck. No biggie just wondering.

By the way who typed the tech specs for this car?...was it Bob after a few drinks? its labelled as a 9 77 GT 2 It was probably delivered to Bob like that. I'll correct it in the mid-season update. Did anything change to the physics for this car since the last release? Getting weird tyre wear/pressures on left rear. Could just be a setup thing but i tried variations of rear arb and springs without luck. No biggie just wondering.
No changes to any of the Porsches between 2.8.9.2 and 2.9.1.0.

Be handy if people could start posting some laptimes using the new cars, otherwise we are all in the dark pace wise.
I'll get the ball rolling, low 36's-37 race pace for me in the GT2 997RSR so far. Havent done a low fuel qual run yet.

Sadly my best in the 997 GT2 was a 38.9. Don't really know where i'm losing it either I would have thought round here low wing is best, right?

Nice one Dave. Are you expecting/catering for a 2nd race straight after? (as this one's 40 mins) Might be nice to change cars and go straight into 2nd race. I plan to go first with GT1 and then see if the interest lingers. TT

I plan to go first with GT1 and then see if the interest lingers. Nice GT1 for me too. I got a low 1.30 off line but, the lines that I took were not exactly what I would call 'safe'. I bet the record lap by Ruskus would be amusing to watch
