I have to learn this track yet... but I'll surely be ready for tomorrow... Maybe this evening I'll join the server at 8.30-9 (Uk Time), to have my first approach to the track! See you later guys  |

i think a target time would be practical and beneficial for this track. I've tried a variety of cars and can do anything from 2:07s to 2:14's..thats a 7 second a lap window (for those who's maths is worse than mine  ) It would be easy for me or anyone to pick the fastest of the batch but we want a close race not a stretched out procession. So what should we aim at for a benchmark? 2:11's and pick a car that can achieve that? or do we stick with the free for all? |

Anybody wants some close racing Mark, but the rules were written long time ago, and I think that the choice should be free for everybody, it's only in that way we can judge if Legzy work out a good solution with Tokens!
I was one of the supporters of a time limit, but this way was abandoned, and one day before the last race I think that would be unfair changing the rules...

no harm in suggesting though  i would lop off the Daytona personally, as its way quicker than the rest of the available field but then that wouldnt be fair to those who have enough tokens saved i guess  ah well, take your chariots and have some fun.  |

no harm in suggesting though That's sure mate! i would lop off the Daytona personally, as its way quicker than the rest of the available field but then that wouldnt be fair to those who have enough tokens saved i guess I agree! (Even if I'm not a saver ) ah well, take your chariots and have some fun. Let's see what my Z06 chariot can make here! |

Well I settled on the Cobra Coupe (not "W") in the end. I've really struggled to get around T4(?), it's the 2nd right of the squiggles. 2:11.4 is the best I've managed, but confident I can take a second out of that with a good clean lap  From what I've seen on the server, we're possibly going to have two groups of drivers. One doing 2:08's (including Lele our Championship leader  ) & a group like me closer to 2:11's. Should be a good race |

I've done 3 laps up to now, which is enough to remind me where the track goes but not much more. iRacing has rather taken over for me atm, but I'll be there to finish the season off anyway.

Know the feeling Paul, iRacing seems to have grabbed me again, but can't miss PnG, still love that ! |

I'm really looking forward to this as it may just be the first tin-top race where I don't get lapped before 1/3rd race distance.
Always supposing that I can stay out of the gravel.
I will be doing my level best not to hit anyone but if you are behind a Cobra289 Coupe (No4) on the grid then it may not make that impressive a start. I have no clutch pedal so will just be selecting 1st when the lights go green and flooring it.

I still never turned on it!! Cu later! |
