Fantastic and just to clarify what is there to practise about the pits except for driving into them?

I think he means, try and workout when your tyres are going to deplete and find the optimum time(obviously this will range from track to track) to pit your car and get new tyres.

from memory I think its about 13-15 laps on hockenhiem, takes about 5 laps to get to peak, i dont think we will have a problem but when you do pit its probably best to do them all in one go.

The pit on both of these tracks are notoriously hard to get into, Infineon is the one that drops you straight back onto the track as you exit so timing that one will be crucial. Maple Valley's not too bad but understeering the entry will lose a lot of time.

I expect I'll be there.

They're a bit tricky on entry and you need to take other racers into account on exit!

Totally spot on mate, I've seen and taken part in some hilarious/catastrophic (delete as applicable) pit stops so its actually rather important!

Hope to see you dude. Btw, I think there's gonna be a new Saturday night series comings up soon Fatty, possibly R3.

[MotorsportTom]

Ah I see what you mean chaps no worries I'll have a couple of sessions to scope it out.


Btw I don't have a mic so if you wish to moan at me it'll have to be through messages

[ajprice]

I'll be in on Monday night, Victoria Coren will have to wait

[juditas]

I hope to be there if I can get in. Was unable to get into the lobby for some reason last time.

Are we on for a race tonight? Has it been postponed until Monday?

Tonight was on the list as a possible but I've had to choose Monday.

I'll give it til lap 2 at Infineon before someone's hit the pit wall head on....

Ran a 2.00.1 in a Ka after 3 laps, and 1.59 flat in a C1

Bit more time in both but not masses, for me anyway..... Anyone else had a few cheeky laps?? Anyone on tonight?

I did a 2:01.9 in a Ka on my second lap, however I wasn't dialled into the lap at all so I think for my skill level a 2:00.5 would be fast in the KA I have.

I haven't tried any C1/Pug/Aygo tunes yet

Sorry I didn't join in last night chaps, I'm in MK and the internet here is so so so st. I didn't want to ruin your races.

Look forward to Monday!

Damn right, son! A badass that is driving a pink KA

Had a good bit of f-class racing in the company of Homer + associates last night, I particularly enjoyed the full and frank discussion of the merits of the Chevrolet spark (and those who choose to drive it).

Everyone make your cars look pretty tomorrow!
I am going to take some pictures.

Oh boy was I pissed last night! I think I caused a bit of a stir
