Has anyone had any practice laps yet?

GtlRank has a world record for the Fezza of 1:14, FWD has 1:18, D-Mike has 1:20 and IanP has 1:36

no practice for me this week and a monster hangover so I'm expecting to turn in a stunning performance as usual.

Had a nice clean start from last place and the first two corners looked nice and clean then as we approached the hairpin I realised the pack was slowing down too quickly for me so I took to the grass on the right to avoid contact. I came to a stop against the tyre barrier but before I could get going again, Neil had already lost control and was zooming across the grass to send me 20 foot in the air Race over.

I was soooooo slow here (1:21) that I think I would have been last anyway, unless everyone else broke their car

I saw what happened though neil, i don't think it was anyone's fault.

You came round T2 and FWD was staionary... you hit him... I came round the corner just after you and didn't have time to move anywhere and hit you and fwd. then i span later on lap 1.

I was last at the end of lap 1 and 5 or 6 seconds down but I chased everyone and had a really fun race... even if you have a shit 1st lap/corner/whatever you can still enjoy the rest of the race.

anyway we're still on if you fancy another quick race.

Its not so much who's fault it was - I know no one probably meant to take me out, however there is a certain hot headedness in the first corners which inevitably ends up with people out (usually me).

To have a 3rd of the lineup out on the first lap isn't what I'd call sensible racing.
