No problem for me too.  Of courseI practiced with the Willment Elan the last days without knowing that there is a different hdc - the 66 tyres make the difference. But as a real "amateur" driver - greenhorn - I only made 1:48,980 with the Willment. Today changed to a 65 Elan and made 1:49,770 with a new setup. Some seconds left to the rest of the field - as usual. Looking forward to this evening. |

No Willment Elan tonight guys.
2 by 2 rolling start. Leader goes at the end of the last corner.

.......................... The elan appears to be the best car here from the times ive seen, perhaps maybe by 2seconds?
Thanks MJ that's useful info.  ....and therein lies the problem  some of you guys will always instantly go for the car with the clear advantage. Dont you want to race others and try to win in equal machinery? I do, to me its all about the racing, if i win, even better, but as long as i have good battles getting there. No-one else has commented on the year vintage of the cars as a fair way of equalising the field spread, so guess i am just blowing smoke as usual  Take your fast car and be damned!  It's 4:00 on race day and I still haven't seen the track. I don't feel that I should handicap myself still further by taking a slower car. I usually like whichever car is fastest down the straight but I haven't had the chance to do any practice so will just go for the Elan. Always assuming that I can find a half decent setup. |

If I'm going to be in the race at all I need all the help I can get! 6:15 and still not seen the track and dinner is on the table. |

Does P&G not have a race countdown feature? or is it considered too girly to use it? |

I don't think it has one. The only alternative is to look at the timer at the top right. When it starts counting, it's time to go. I think we'd have a pile-up at the start depending on that.

I may go with the Total Team Mustang to mix things up a bit.

Did you download the track from NoGrip Bill, if so did you get the correct one, there are two. The one you want is the BDibble342 one.

Yes thanks Geoffers - don't know what the problem was, initially track not available, then when I got on, kicked off as cheat. It just wasn't my night tonight, nothing went right none of the corners went right for most of the laps. Qualifying was my best lap. In the race spent more time in the dunes and grass than on the track. In the end I just lost the will to drive. |

Pff, hard 10 laps. Did not have time to practise so in qualification I did my first laps on the circuit. I didn't know Tony was on the inside in the first corner so we had a coming together. Bill was just behind us and had no time to avoid me so that was accident number 2 . Car was a bit wrecked and I decided to go fo a pitstop and do some repairs. Unfortunately they did not change the driver so after a few more laps the car was falling into pieces again. Decided to quit the race. Best decision I made this evening  |

LOL I like that. A variation on, "it's the nut behind the wheel". |
