(4) This race will be run using the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0 which will need to be installed prior to racing; please get it from the downloads page.

Sorry Tibs, should be sorted now .

Sadly I can't make this race, have fun all 

[Tibernius]

Thanks Legzy.

1:53s in the Alpine with race fuel so far.

[Wiltshire Tony]

That's a great time Tibs. You are using the downloaded circuit aren't you?

[Tibernius]

Yep, got it from the link in the first post. Got it from Humyo since it downloads faster.

Come to think of it I don't think it was 53s. I'll have to check.

[Tibernius]

It wasn't 1:53. It was 1:58.3.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Phew! Still a respectable time tho mate

Chortle
Just done some track learning laps. took 17 laps before I got a complete one in driving the FIAT131
after a couple of clean ones managed 1:53.5. had done 1:55.7 in Aston, and was about to post that
I thought the Fiat was too fast... err and it's not in the group...   

[phspok]

Love this track, sort of remember it from Crammonds F1, is well done.
Times so far:

1:55.7 Aston
1:55.7 E-Type
!:59.0 A110
2:00.5 Mustang

Jag would probably be a bit faster if I spent more time in it, but it's so nose heavy, you have to
give it 3 days written notice on your intent to turn. and takes time to get used to after the others
it does have something approaching brakes though, compared to the Aston.
Stang is loverly to drive but for me is slow, don't really get on with rear engines, and someone
else would do better in comparison in the Renault.

[Wiltshire Tony]

Well I'm going to be at the back for this one. Those times are way too quick 
Interested in what you can get out of the Merc Matt, If you wouldn't mind?
I'm still undecided about which to take, might give the Mini a go, BTW does anyone know why it's tyre pressures are so high?

No, but I run the fronts at the maximum (56psi I think) & they are still hotter on the edges than in the middle. Rears, I think around 35psi is about right.

[Spadowski]

Won't be able to make this one due to moving house on Thursday. Really disappointed as I love the Adelaide circuit.

Sorry to hear that Steve, you would have loved the Alpine here! Feels great to throw it around the track... Had a quick blast and managed 1:58 with it. Haven´t tested the other cars yet.
