Thanks chaps, Post #1 updated  

Navin and Purdie have also swapped cars and Navin is taking a look at the cars from the extra teams.

From recent correspondence it seems that the more practise time put in is having a big effect on laptimes....more than most other mods.... and leading to a few inbalances, so maybe something to consider for us all. I've been guilty of this and while it's silly to try to disuade drivers from over practising, I think we should just have this in mind in our preparation for races. Keep it fun chaps or we'll all be fighting over the Zakspeed

well i practised a lot and my lap times i think aren't bad for the Benetton but with race consistency (and finishing!).... very poor

tried the Lotus at Montreal and straight into the 1m19s!!! Very nice

Hi Cosi. Great to see you here 

I think you need to try some of the slower cars unless you enjoy driving on your own. We're trying to keep a balanced grid in this series which means that faster drivers take the slower cars. As a guide I'm at around 1:26 at Paul Ricard in the Benetton, but I think that could be 1 or 2 seconds off the pace. Anything quicker than a 1:24 and I think you'll be racing alone.

1:26??? am I driving the wrong track then?

I'm not very good with these cars. Not my cup of tea to be honest. Plus I was among the slowest on the server today, so don't worry about my speed

Fair enough, I've put you in the Arnoux Ligier. We'll be sneaking round your garage to let your tyres down if you're too quick

I think the key is low downforce and to take Signes flat out. Mexico setup wasn't far off for me.

Got me numbers muddled  Should have said around 1:06 not 1:26
