A couple of notes re. Blue Flags during qualifying and race where they differ from GTR2;

Blue Flags during qualifying - if you see a blue flag during qualifying it will be on your outlap and the driver approaching is on a hotlap. Please take this into account and act accordingly. The driver behind does not know you are on an outlap so no rash moves out of the way please  Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.

Blue Flags during the race -  if you see a blue flag during the race it means the driver approaching is about to lap you. Please take this into account and act accordingly. It differs from GTR2 in that you will not be penalised for not allowing the lapping driver to pass within a certain period. The flag is informational only. Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.

Pit Boxes - there are 43 slots available at Silverstone (GP).

Can you still see the times I did ages ago or have I disappeared off the friends list as I'm not a member?

I should be good for this one.

I like Silverstone but I've never done too well here.

Surprised my times are as close to Paul Rs.

I'm showing 1.44.7q and 1.45.5 for race. Should be close fun again.

[Blunder]

Boys, take pity on me, done about an hours practice and have just snuck into the 1.50's ! 

Any tips?

In the Radical, most time is lost being too early on the throttle. Club and Luffield are the hardest corners in the SR8 - you have to resist the urge to use any more than balanced throttle until you can nail it properly, otherwise all you do is induce understeer.

You're not that far off the pace - I'm only into the 45s on a good day, and I must've done many hundreds if not thousands of laps round Silverstone in the Radical.

Thanks Paul, was hoping it was in the 50's to help reduce this urge to cough $75

[popabawa]

The majority of my race lap times were 1:48's and 1:49's if that helps. I won't have got any quicker either....
