Wasn't me H, but I've seen no issues mentioned anywhere re. this track  - havn't really started practicing yet myself 

Like we are going to believe that !!!!

Havn't though  I'm not working tomorrow so will probably put some time in for Brno and the Ring instead

You better start! I have only really managed a single relatively clean and fast lap out of maybe 30-40 attempts... 

The grip seems to be different each lap around, lol, but it's a great track, I like the challenge.

[EvilClive]

Jumped on Phil's trial server yesterday and tried a couple of laps...emphasis on tried!!!

I think I have attempted about 7-8 laps of this circuit, none of which was clean. In fact, every one of those laps would have resulted in a retirement in Pro mode!! So, not enough laps to get the setup sorted and I still am not 100% sure what is around the next bend once we get through the first half of the lap. The first half is none too certain either!!!

As Hristo has said , the grip level seems to vary throughout the lap, with some places feeling like the previous car has dropped a load of oil.

But it is a very nice track

I think that's because some parts of track have stone pavement(in villages), and on this surface you don't have as much grip as on asphalt.

I am glad you like the track 

And just to put things in perspective I noticed that if you look at the Multiple Choice Hell at GPL rank you will find a 5.39.629 by someone named Hristo Itchov, hummm I wonder who that might be?

Btw, it happens to be the top time.

And the one with online experience from the track that might have been me, at least I have it from when I had a league race here with the AusGPL.

5:39!!!!!!!  I have yet to get sub 6:00mins.

[Hristo Itchov]

That must be the single clean lap I managed a few days ago, lol. Don't let it fool you - it's one out of 50 other which ended up badly...

Thought I was doing well with a 7m 04s pb in the Lot BRM 

lost count of the number of spectators and trees ive killed

I'm restricted to either the Lotus BRM or BRM something, but why do you drive it when you can take much better cars? Initially I did a lot of practice with the Lotus, but eventually switched to the BRM - it's just much more predictable around this track, at least for me, and it's easier to setup.

[FullMetalGasket]

5:39 in the BRM! 

Best laps for me so far are:

5:43 dead in the 312
5:46.7 in the Cooper
5:48.6 in the BT19

Admitedly none of them are completly clean but where are you getting the extra 4 seconds!?

Wish I knew. It's just a matter of pushing as much as you can without crashing and not thinking about lap times at all.

Hi Hristo

 I tried the BRM but found it difficult to control on the twizzy bits . Thought the Lotus BRM was faster , same engine , lighter chassis , better handling , aparently not so then ?

Not tried any others , imagined the coop was out due to the long straights , fezzer , cant stand the noise it makes (on my PC at least) Brabby cant find s set up that gives speed snd stability , Whale a nono for me

Praccy server up again.

I think I sorted the crash problem, it was our old favourite Automatic Updates!!! 

I've set a very loose grid (see below).  Hopefully the race server will have something similar - a crash in the first built up section could be a disaster.

Code:

[ starting_grid_0 ]
  ; 1x1 staggered grid
  ; polesitter on left
  ; track length is <17794.100>
  ; grid front center at <17779.00, -3.00>
  ; width between boxes  3.00
stall_0 = 17767.8 3
stall_1 = 17757.8 0
stall_2 = 17747.8 3
stall_3 = 17737.8 0
stall_4 = 17727.8 3
stall_5 = 17717.8 0
stall_6 = 17707.8 3
stall_7 = 17697.8 0
stall_8 = 17687.8 3
stall_9 = 17677.8 0
stall_10 = 17667.8 3
stall_11 = 17657.8 0
stall_12 = 17647.8 3
stall_13 = 17637.8 0
stall_14 = 17627.8 3
stall_15 = 17617.8 0
