Guys, I'll get a practice server up tonight.

Cool. Will see you there (but expecting to be late) as I've not enjoyed driving this track on my own  . Hoping it's good to race on though  |

A note about qualifying... There's an advantage to be gained from drafting another car around the oval part of this track, this can be exploited to get a faster qualifying time than could be achieved on a lone lap. As far as I'm concerned this is a legitimate tactic on a 'roval' track so if you are clever / skillful / lucky enough to pull it off, whether through sheer luck or an orchestrated effort with another then go for it |

I'll try and pop along to the practice tonight, most likely about 8.30 to 9ish
Looking forward to tomorrow's race
Regards

Server is up.
Something very weird has happened, it seems to have created 2 sessions, one of 30 mins (passworded) and one of 4 hours, (no password).
Use the open one.

First time I have ever tried this track, it's pretty mean! Good choice.
Should make for some great racing tomorrow if only I could keep it on.

Hmm, interesting. Based on my best laps from iRacing's official series early this year I'm now almost a second a lap quicker, and whilst there's still no grip on the infield, it doesn't feel impossibly slippery any more.
Even more curious, in tonight's practice session I was able to go quicker with race fuel and no tow than half fuel and a big fat tow from Don's car.
Most odd.

Maybe you were just being a wuss Dave, bet you're glad I'm back! Right guys I won't be joining you tomorrow, I'm with Nildram too and got disconnected twice. In between sessions I had a nice chat with a Nildram engineer asking why my business account is next to useless after 7 years faultless connection. I'm not willing to get disconnected during a race and take someone out. With that in mind, sorry to Chris Laker for the incident at turn 1, I thought our interloper friend would yield the corner after a) going on the grass and b) being behind and offline. Oh well you live and learn. Regards Gary |

I'm glad of the 30 minute practice tonight. I really had forgotten how to drive those pesky little things. No grip whatsoever in the shopping trolleys Skip Barber. Anyway, after about 10 laps I had remembered how to drive it and where you need to be careful at that circuit. I then stayed until I beat Gizmo's time (just).  Bah ha ha! |

Thanks for hosting Iain, nice to be out on track with the boys, but I'm another who will be missing tomorrow. Going to see Beverley Knight at the Sage.
