I joined with the L88 Coupe. I remember VDA did a race at Nords where they used modified a Ferrari GTB Special. The L88 was in the same race. Could your L88 file be modified too?
Thanks for the tip Mike, I had thought such a thing, but I thought it has not modified the files in the Corvette. Last night I replaced the folder with a Corvette_60 definitely okay and I tried to connect to the server and everything works smoothly  . Many thanks for the help and courtesy. See you on track  ) Giuseppe |

finally got some laps in late tonight. What a fantastic nostalgic old track layout for Monza  We must make more use of this for a classic enduro at some point. Though wish we had picked a car that can actually steer and/or brake   but must be said this car is quite sexy around 'most' of this track...just doesnt like corners  |

Just noticed tonights choice of car/track - hope no-one minds my joining in Guiseppe, the VDA files only altered the Ferrari. So that deffinatly isn't the problem with your Coupe. Afraid I have no idea what's causing your problem though  Gonna text my G/F now and tell her she can't see me tonight - should go well  |

Ah carp!. I have to work in the city again today so I have to miss the race. You guys will be in good hands with Matt. Wish I was able to draft around this high speed circuit with you guys though. Enjoy the race. I may have to cook up some kind of special event like MJ said so I get a chance to race it too. Let me know how the race goes.

Afraid I have no idea what's causing your problem though I remembered that in another league had changed the fuel tank capacity, plus 10 liters, for 1 hour to finish the race without refueling. Anyway thanks for your kindness . See you tonight Giuseppe |

finding the two lesmo's pretty tough, trying to get a nice drift usually ends up in the sticky wall .... 2m43 so far so prob about 5 secs off! cool track though and 175mph out the vette is cool  |

I seem to recall this layout with a couple of chicanes being used for the Monza 1000km in the late sixties/early seventies.

I think your right. Just found some data to suggest that this layout was actually in use as late as 1965. Hmm more research needed he he EDIT: The circuit which Geoffers alludes to had chicanes placed before the two banked curves and was used between 1966-1969. In 1970 the more familiar circuit was used. |

Nice track, shame about the car choice on offer. I've tried it & hate it.
I'd have been more then happy to peddle the F275 Special round against these ridiculous L88's despite their obvious speed advantage. I would at least be able to get round a couple of corners & possibly even enjoy the experience.
Sitting this one out. That's not something I do often.

oh dear what a disastrous non-event that turned out to be. Only 11 runners, 3 DNF'd on lap 1 when nearly all of us got caught out by sudden instant oversteer mid bank, leaving only 8 left. Then on very next lap i again got a big oversteer and span but saved the car. However when i tried to spin around to carry on, the car got beached and i couldnt reverse or go forward off of it. Someone else DNF'd at same time leaving only 5 runners on lap 2  where has everybody gone?  |

With three or four spinning cars it is not wise to keep full speed going, is it?
Apologies for being such a negative git but I really looked foreward to this track; not being taken out at T2.
Must admit tho that these cars are pretty on the limit for an average driver like me.
Endurance with Mini's anyone?
