I reckon Mexico will be the most unpredictable round this series. Half the lap is an extremely technical series of turns leading onto a short straight followed by a flatout 6th gear corner which then leads onto the s/f straight, at the end of which the faster cars will be nudging 200mph The fastest hotlap setup might not turn out to be the best racing setup Approximate times so far: Not had much practice here yet, but I'm at 1:16 in the Benetton atm which I think I can reduce slightly. A quick blast round in the other cars with very rough setups and the Lotus was also around 1:16 while the McLaren and Ferrari were 2 seconds quicker at around 1:14 with the March somewhere in between. The Coloni at around 1:18 for me was just over 2 seconds slower than the Benetton and Lotus. Another reminder please.... If you want to change your car or have not yet chosen a car and want to take part, please post here....https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=9337.0

I tried (offline) all the pack with full tank, just to see the difference in terms of laptimes... it was pretty scary McLaren: 1.11.5 Ferrari: 1.12.0 March: 1.12.6 Lotus:1.12.8 Arrows:1.12.8 Williams: 1.13.0 Ligier: 1.13.9 Benetton: 1.13.9 Minardi:1.15.0 Coloni: 1.15.7 Surprising that Minardi and Coloni are faster using only 5 gears, the 6th is pretty unuseful with high wings on these 2 cars. However, I will try again to get the podium with the Coloni, it will be an hard challenge but... never give up! Cu soon

Yikes... Those are some fast times.. Track dependent I'm either hot or cold with these cars.. Best I could do is a 1:17.2 in the Lotus so far

I was testing last night for a few hours to get used to both the Benetton and this veeeery techincal track! Son Guku was on there in the Ligier - this guy can drive! ... 1m10.8s !!!! I finally broke through a mini-barrier to stop doing 17s and slowly crept up to 14s. Fastest is now 1m14.3 but that was softs with quali fuel.... sill can't go faster than 181 mph track is extremely bumpy and car needs zero understeer and can change direction nicely without the back-end jumping out (with the Benetton anyway!) ... S2 is so hard and tricky!!!

My quickest lap in the Benetton is a 1:13.7 with race fuel. My average lap time is 1:14.5 to 1:15 as it is so difficult to be consistent through the twisty bit.
This will be a tough race.

I guess he should drive a weakened Zakspeed My quickest lap in the Benetton is a 1:13.7 with race fuel. My average lap time is 1:14.5 to 1:15 as it is so difficult to be consistent through the twisty bit.
It means I will be approximately 1.5/2 seconds slower risking in every corner Benetton: 1.13.9 don't happen to have this setup do you ? That's my Benetton setup: http://www.humyo.com/FCrSYMC/Benetton%20F188.svm?a=rte6wduX2ZwI did not improved it so much, but... give it a try Remember to keep the 5th gear during the last corner, because if you go up to 6th in the middle of the corner, you will loose a lot of speed. Check the steer lock if it's too low for your taste (it depends on the steering wheel you use). Cu

Best of 1:16.3 in my Williams so far. But it's not the easiest track to get to grips with, so should find some more pace yet... I imagine I'll be in the 15's for the race.

Already helped me Manteos I used your Benetton setup on Lotus with minor gear tweaks and did a 1:14.9 quickly Not a 1:12.8 but at least I'm out of the 1:17's!!

Yeah great setup Manteos in the Benetton!! Down to the low 14s now and high 14s with race fuel. It really is about nailing S1 and S2.... seconds are literally lost when you miss one apex as it had a knock-on effect for the following corners Look forward to the race
