Nice track/car combination, except I'm really not a fan of the added chicane in comparison to the full circuit. There are enough challenging corners on the track without an additional 2, but more importantly it robs the track of one of only two proper old-fashioned style overtaking spots. Done about 6 or 7 laps practice and using my VIR North setup with no modifications I managed a 1:22.7 with race fuel in the car. No idea whether that is any good or not though. *UPDATED WITH NEW TIME.

I expect you could shave a tenth or two off that.

Fun combo this and I for one think that the chicane adds something, and if nothing else it'll stop people flying into that very tight right hander ... and then the gravel ... and then the wall, although it does mean one less decent passing spot. Massively cock-upable on the limit though, not entirely sure what sort of pace I'll have in the race, but I managed a 1:22.9, but my optimum was a good chunk faster ... but I'll not be pushing for that in the race for fear of dying a (simulated) burning fiery death.

Yeah, it's one of those tracks that's quite easy to drive but there are a couple of places where you'd better be clean or you'll be toast down the straight.
Could make for a good race.

Trying to drive the Radical quickly will make you slow and erratic. Just drive it smoothly and stay off the throttle when you don't need it. If I can manage it, anyone can. How many laps Pops? Paul

Pace ... lacking.
Consistency .... lacking.
Frustration .... in abundance.

Congrats Gary and Mike great race. I didnt meant to leave at the end I pressed quit by accident!
Too many mistakes from me. Was a bit off my PB in qual so started 2nd. Gary flew on the first few laps but I started to reel him in. Suprisingly he left the door open at the end of the backstraight and I was past. Couldnt pull much of a gap and then sneezed (I have man flu) into the final left hander and went well wide and into my first spin in the gravel. Dropped back to third and then caught up to the back of Mike. What I should have done then was pitted by I didnt and after a few laps behind him I misjudged the turn in for T1 caught the yellow kerb and that was spin number two. Came in for my quick stop on the next lap. Gary and Mike pitted one lap later but I found myself back in touch 2 secs back. I seemed to have the most pace of the three of us and caught Mike again. With 8 laps left I think I got a good run down the back straight but Mike defended expertly. Got close agian in the back section with 3 to go and took too much kerb in the over hill right and that was spin 3. Well done to all that finished. There is all to play for in the championship now!

The lap times have been rounded up for some reason?
I had not practiced and arrived shortly before the race, so I joined in to watch.
Some good action out there.
Thought Mike might just do it at the end with Gary getting a bit nervous to say the least.
Grats.
