It is a rather small gap to thread the needle through, turn in too early and your in one wall, get on the power too early and you are in the exit wall. I'm also struggling to find a braking maker, there are no reference points!

I'm not sure if we decided to leave the decision to cut corners up to the chooser, or whether it was a straight 'no' from Dice. I would be happy with cutting it, although the car would get seriously smashed over the kerbs and you may end up having an accident from that!

I can't remember either, we'll need a decision from Dice! I'd like to cut it, just so the 'getting through' is easier using whatever method a person is happy with.
I've got some serious practice to do to catch rexnever mind your 2.05 norbs!

The rule cutting was cleared up sometime ago. Kerb = track - 2 wheels on track at all time

With the chicane, personally, if you cut it in the pack I think it will cause too many issues. The kerbs jump the car at which point control is lost and its too tight to be swerving to avoid the carnage. It happened last time.

I'd rather we be sensible and like the v8 boys concede the corner etc.

If you out brake there I would expect you to stop over the kerb and wait for a gap to rejoin

If we agree that we can't cut it then people will just need to brake earlier, it should be ok. It's definately a 1-line corner though, I don't fancy doing any daring stuff down there! Or anywhere else pretty much hehe

Sounds fair enough. And if kerb is track my line is essentially not cutting it anyway.

Just about to move my broadband. Any providers which still create issues for people in terms of lag and dropping connections?

Dodge Viper GTS at Le Mans 2006.

All removable power mods. Should be about 630bhp (mine was 630, Flips was 660).

Standard transmission, drivetrain, weight, suspension.

Sports soft and medium tyres.

Very fast wear.

I haven't driven it, will give it a quick go a bit later then make any changes if any are needed. Undecided on whether to run during the day or at night... will see how I go later.

Lets hope it isn't crap!

Ferris, I have AOL broadband wired, it's fine.

Excellent race last night. Felt competitive for the first time ever and over the moon with pole position and getting into the 2:05's. There was another few tents in the lap as I clipped the barrier into the swimming pool complex and was 0.1 down at the first split.

fked up the start though and went from first to last in race 1. Not quite sure what happened but bogged down for some reason. Race 2 I thought I had a chance as I led till I pitted and even came out In first place but could not get any decent times on the hards and got a puncture in my first lap out but felt good to be racing against you quick guys.

Do you mean Circuit de la Sarthe 2005. I do not have a circuit listed as 2006. There is also a Circuit de la Sarthe (no chicanes)
