This is going to seem so slow after the FW31 Suppose I'd better start practicing!

I think the phrase I'm looking for is - DOH! I saw the message a little too late, Hosted sessions are disabled this evening to facilitate promotion so the practice session is cancelled I'm afraid. You can still practice offline

I am feeling woefully under prepared for this race, more so than the others.
Just going to try and finish early tomorrow, and get some late practice in before the race.

I was in the low 1:47's in my race set-up. My optimal is a full second quicker but I can't seem to hook it up over a full lap Can't say I notice any difference in the handling with the new build

Have you checked the limiter's not on? I am feeling woefully under prepared for this race
I think it would be a shock to the system these days if i wasn't actually Ian! Hoping to join you chaps as I do love this place, I think you're right though Mike, just about anything's going to feel sluggish after that rocket propelled Williams! Good opportunity to fine tune your lines before going back to it though. Hope to catch you later...

I..umm.. can't drive this thing anymore That's good! I must admit it does feel very slow after driving the F1 car. Not sure if it's the new tyre dampening at work but the Mazda feels more Skippy-esque. I'm now sliding all over the place! But that could just be my driving.

It is really sliding around, I've spent 2 hours trying to make it feel nice and it just won't. I haven't completed more than 4 consecutive laps yet without crashing. It feels really nasty and awkward.
I have 1:45.2 as my best, but it's anyones guess how long I can stay on the track!

Thank goodness I finally got my driving sorted out Qualified 2nd to Brendan, who popped in a brilliant 44.1 then spent the entire race chasing him less than a second behind, but his tyres lasted a bit better and I couldn't challenge at the end Great fun in the end
