I'll start the ball rolling, managed a 1m57.9s in a practice session last night.
Quite a tough combo, any cock-ups are punished heavily!
Cheers, Ross.

Yeah - tough, but good fun. Think I'm a similar pace at the moment - hopefully I'll last a bit longer than I did last time

Gonna try and get an official race in in the DP this week for practice as I've already had a monster win in the Radical. Haven't turned a wheel yet.

I have done some exploratory laps and done 1:57, but the setup and gearing still needs to be tackled.

I hope to take part in this one... I Have spent a bit of time practicing on this track with the Radical and DP. about 30 to 40 laps each. Its so much fun, especially in the Radical. I can dip into the 55's but normally am doing mid to high 56's in race pace. but I can only last about 6 laps before making a mistake so I reckon a safe pace for me at the mo would be mid 57's. I am however making the assuption that 18.5 is enough fuel for the race. not actually having done one before that is. Also is it possible to preset fuel and tyres for a pitstop and not have to change it at the start of each individual race session.....or am I missing somthing. Apologies; I still have not got my racing legs on yet. Adam

Nope. I usually set mine whilst sitting on the grid, rather than trying to fiddle with it on the in lap.

Did a few laps earlier and got a 1:56.300 as my best, on race fuel. Setup on TS site as normal.

Finding it a bit tricky, keep spinning out of turn 5 and i'm finding it difficuult to relearn the track, still seem to be driving it like the mazda! Car feels very soft around here which doesnt help. Dont think i'l be anywhere near 2 mins at the moment

I'm hoping to make it this week, I'll almost certainly be pretty hopeless so you'll have some company

Great circuit for the DP . Got a bit of understeer on my set up which i could do with out but evertime i try to get rid of it the rear of the car becomes horrible so might just have to deal with it. Cya there.

I hope you embarrassed a few DP drivers

I hope you embarrassed a few DP drivers I was only 25s off an outright podium. Did my DP race yesterday in preparation for this and got 2nd overall, despite getting shuffled down from 2nd on the grid to 4th in the first corner when half the DPs all tried to win the race in the first 10 seconds. It did highlight the advantage of the pole sitter going when the pace car pulls in instead of waiting for the green lights; this one didn't and we nearly had a humungous pile up in T1 when rows 2 and 3 came steaming in from being four wide.
