Just done some practice laps here. Like the track (did a Radical race here a few weeks back ), but I was reminded that I just don't enjoy/get this car at more then a couple of tracks. On 1st impressions, this isn't one of them. I'll give it another go tomorrow or Monday though to see if it starts to come together.

Quite a tricky one to string together consistently tidy laps on! Managing low 1m52's so far after a handful of laps. I can imagine that quick laps will be below 1m50 though.
Great for drifting!
Cheers, Ross.

I'll give this a go, I'm getting round the place reasonably well with a 1:50.2 PB. I just need to work on consistency a bit.

Not one of my favourite tracks.
I've not driver the Skip since the update, but if the old laptimes are anything to go by here it's going to be another hard fought race.
Mid 1.48s have been recorded by a few drivers.

Any chance of a pracci session tonight? Haven't used iR since the last rebuild and hope this combo, one of my faves, hasn't been jiggered.

Practice: A server will be available from approx. 19:00 - 23:00 the day before the race
Every league race (Skippy and Dallara) will have a practice session the day before.

tried just one lap last night after the UKGTR one and it feels like a completely different track!

Except maybe tonight.... I've just notice the maintainance is scheduled for this evening from 20:00-24:00 and that hosted sessions will be unavailable for 4 hours prior to that so we're completely stuffed I'm afraid. NO PRACTICE SESSION TONIGHT. Normal practice service will resume next week.

Not sure if its just me, my new wheel, or the new build or just the track but the default setup i'd been using uptill now feels way too oversteery now on power. still working my way around corner by corner but those last fast sweeps really catch me out.

After the new build, the skippy feels much less oversteery to me Its now much more comfortable to push it hard and flat outtish for me. Around and about mid 48's for me which bears that out. Still a brilliant car/track combo after build That long dipping left, mid-track, is drift-tastic.
