1.12's for me in the trusty 997 Cool


Hats off to you Spanner, tried most of the cars today and the best I can manage is a very scrappy 1:15.3 in the Lotus. Got a low 1:16 in the 997, but found it difficult to keep the revs high enough without using too low a gear. Messed around with the ratios, but no joy. Guess I just don't love pork enough Grin

Jumped in the lotus a got a mid 1:17  straight out the box, so decided to stick with that and see what I could squeeze out of it

A word of warning Jamera... The Porka is the fastest car in this class, it's just that like all Porka's, sane people struggle to get to grips with their 'quirky' handling Shocked Wink. They're a bit like a left-handed player in tennis, they should be banned! Grin
Also, you might want to (if yo have time) try doing a longish stint in the Lotus before the race. I quite like the Lotus, but its character does seem to change badly after 5-8 laps of tyre wear Undecided

Well I must have questionable sanity then, because the only GTC car I ever feel comfortable in is the 997.

Just creeping into the 1:11s offline but it's a bit hit and miss through that last chicane  Shocked

Didn't make much practice, just before the race and I didn't feel ready to race. Felt I could improve cars performance with more practice. Still, summer makes these things a bit more difficult. Race started ok by other drivers mistakes or crashes. Got to 2nd place and lost it through small errors and couldn't catch nsfast anymore. GT was breathing on my neck most of the race but I managed to just stay in front. GT1s are a bit too strong for this track and GTCs felt not strong enough. GT2 might be just the class for it. Smiley Enjoyable race, this track offers excitement and driving on the edge most of the time. Especially the last chicane. Cheesy

First of all I have to apologize with spanner for the tap at the 3rd lap Sad. I ruined your race... sorry about this.

My race started with a crash at the first corner, than I tried to replace the gap with the guys in front, but the lack of training didn't let me to reach the target. Apart a couple of good duels during the first laps, and a good overtake to TT, my race was not so exciting, but at least this time I've seen the checkered flag, and it was enough... cause it was a long time that didn't happen.

Cu soon Smiley
