32-34 laps I would guess Pops!? I've done a few 1.17's but am always slow! I was not that excited about this choice but it's actually alright!

Good call Martin, looks like 32 laps is about right. 1:12 seems to be a pretty fast time around here

Low to mid 1.13's for me , ive done quite a few laps with alot of tweeks on the set up but its far from ideal. Then my sets are usually a bit sketchy. Gonna be a tricky race.

Into 1:13's, setup feels stable at least but still a bit of tweaking needed.

I'm doubtful for the next while I'm afraid.
Finally finished work on Wednesday and I have been offered a job in Aberdeen.
I will be staying in a serviced apartment for a while and not sure I will have a connection suitable for racing. All the flats have wi-fi not sure what the setup is. I'm guessing that everyone would be using the same router and stealing too much bandwith to race even if I could plug into the router?

Find a way to do the last skippy race if you can - you only need 2nd to clinch it and it would be a big anticlimax if you didn't race.

Oh thats a shame Brian, thats how I came to finish sim racing the first time round, stopping in serviced apartments in Edinburgh. I had seven years out, lets hope yours is nothing like that long. As Pauls says it will be a shame if you miss the last Skippy race. Gary

I did 20 minutes with Russel Hodgon's setup, scoring a best of 14.2. I've put my version in the Team Shark setups, but I'm still not comfortable in it.

Well it doesn't feel to bad as it is Dave, 14 and a very little bit using it. If you were on twitter I'd be following you!! Will we ever be comfortable in the Dallara round Laguna? I'm enjoying this more than the Skip because the Dallara tightens all the corners up. What I don't like about Laguna in the less powerful cars is that the some of corners are so long, and I find that harder to judge.

I will do what I can. Just arrived in Aberdeen today. I made sure I picked the flat next to the router where I can easily plug my cable in. There is 10 flats and we have 8 of them so I guess I will need to be lucky that nobody uses the internet too much. The connection is Internet for business LTD and it seems to be a good connetion. Only other problem is other than a glass dinner table I've nowhere to mount my PC and wheel.
