Turn up anyway Gerald, we need the numbers and they're all easy to learn tracks.

[Truetom]

My first time with F3. Is 1:17 in Mills GP fast or slow? 

[Simon Gymer]

Lol Truetom, I wont turn a lap till this evening so no idea!

[silver53]

It was fun all the same, though I expected more players. I confirmed myself as a poor engineer, though I was fast in Rhez. The price were bright yellow (!) front tires (over 170), which couldn't last even 5 more laps. Advanced trainer and F3 didn't feel as good as I hoped. Shark and MikeW were faster in A-trainer and so I didn't want to cross the finish line before they did, though I had 10 seconds run on them. Fair is fair.

In F3 MikeW was chasing me tightly but the Mills GP has enough bends to block any attempts for overtake - UNLESS you make a mistake as I did in the last minute of the race - I braked as bit to late at the end of the straight, tires didn't hold and MikeW won. He deserved it, he was much faster than me. Too bad Shark gave up, it could be even more interesting.

Well the race the other day (non-upgraded cars) was more fun and I had less opportunity to make mistakes with my setups.    I feel a real pitty for the cars I drive with my setups...

Oh, I thought you'd let me by cause you rear ended me causing me to spin when I passed you and had taken the lead. 

Too bad Shark gave up, it could be even more interesting.

I didn't give up. I span and hit the wall which killed the engine. I stayed to watch some of your very close battle with Mike W's Red Bull F3, nice stuff, don't know how you drive those F3s, they have a complete lack of feel for me.
