 Yes it is a good track. I admit I am not usually a fan of this kind of thing but after spending some time over shooting turns into tyre walls I finally got used to it.  Has any one set any good lap times? I've managed 2:27 in the  |

What a great city-track  Many narrow parts, straights ending in a sharp turn, dangerous sidewalks that can flip your car easily and chicanes that will reward the daredevils ( and the skilled ) There's bound to be lots drama in this race  Stig / Hotkeys Last time at this track only half the starters finished! Lap record is 2:16 in a Healey! |

Last time at this track only half the starters finished! Lap record is 2:16 in a Healey! That sure sounds strange to me. I can manage 2.18.xx in the mini and I saw M. Finch do a 2.15.xx in the Lotus, but in a Healey ? However my main concern will be to find the car best suited for avoiding other cars  and walls  Stig / Hotkeys |

Not my track Mine neither  . Of all the tracks I've raced at I think I hate this one the most. It is beyond me how to go fast here, best I've managed so far is 2.23 in the Escort TC. But I will turn up & cruise round & hope to get a finish. I seem to remember the last time we raced here I only lasted just over a lap, someone spun & caused a big pile up which finished my car. So it will be more a case of luck than judgement I think. |

Try the Elan 26 Geoffers, you might get surprised. I only managed 2.24 in the escort, so you can prob ably go a lot faster in the Lotus. I'll PM you my setup. Stig / Hotkeys2.15.300 |

Sorry that this track is a bit marmite. I wanted to include it in a series as we haven't done it for a while, I like it  and it's not a track that favours fast driving but precision. If your finding it tough to get to grips with, try learning it in the Alpine then try some of the other cars. One or two will definately feel better at this circuit than the usual suspects. |

Stig / Hotkeys2.16.300I have, it was the first car I tried, only 2.25 in it. Last time we raced here I used the Alpine, did 2.24 in qually with it, but seem to remember I had managed 2.20 in pre-race practice. Might try that again. That last chicane is truly horrible, just so difficult to see the entry. The track maker should have painted the last concrete block red instead of white, would have been a lot easier to see! |

I can take the last chicane flat out in the 1310 but it is all a bit drifty I admit. You need to soften the suspension slightly this is a very bumpy track. After all it is a public road!!! Watch out for that bus!!! |

Was that my set up Mr Hot? or didn;t you like it? I sure liked your setup Mark, it's VERY good. Still I changed it on several points to fit my driving style and lack of skill. First off all i lowered the gear ratio, and secondly I let some air out of the tyres. Anyone interested can get it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IJ9ZXGE0Stig / Hotkeys |
