Congratulations! Err how many are you having? 

[Legzy]

Hmm i'am on a 1.14.464 in Quali with Qualiset.Race set on 1.17.0.. . When i have a McLaren or Ferrari i think 1.10.... is Possible.

1:18.3 in race trim so far for me (may dip into the high 17's if I'm lucky )

oh also, just to add, I prefer this older track to the modern one, though it's not big changes really.

First off sorry for missing last weeks race as I could not make it home in time . Southern California traffic is a real PITA sometimes. And unfortunately I probably will not make it again tomorrow as well . Small chance I will make it if traffic works out but that's not a safe bet there. So have a good race fellas. Cheers

Not sure if I can race here. It's very hot here (35'C) and I don't have air-conditioned apartment. It doesn't cool down even at night. Additional ventilation got me a cold already, so...

[SRW]

i am unlikely to make the race tonight, in the middle of decorating and have not had a chance to do any practice

[spanner]

I'd better make sure i'll turn up now!

[goldtop]

Not had a chance to do any further practise as I've been sidetracked by GPL lately. Sorry to hear of those that can't make it.....it's a nice track for these cars especially wuthout that silly chicane in the modern version. At least it might give me a chance of
grabbing a few points if I keep it together 

 

[purdie]

had no practise but back early from work. Gotta try and remember this place, i just recall very twisty but this version sounds better 

[purdie]

got the hang of it and was running 4th, then had a complete lapse of concentration and literally drove straight on into the wall. Couldn't remember if you could repair a wheel or not? Pulled onto the track (not too smartly sorry GT) and GT froze up the road and I bounced off him 

good track and you could get into a good rhymn, was shaping up to be a good race   

[goldtop]

Grrr...disco at around lap 10    

Never felt comfy around here mainly due to having no confidence on the throttle out of those slower corners. I think the Eurobrun is proving itself to be a bit of a donkey  

....np btw Andy, I saw you in plenty of time to avoid you. I don't think the pitcrew replace wheels either.
