Took far less time than I thought to unlock the cars.

I guess all this practice on the tracks has meant that I've been able to blitz the career races.
Nice one eek

I was starting to loose interest as there didn't seem to be many taking part this week.

Once this weeks TT is completed we will have gone through all of the tracks, so is that it or where do we take it next?
Imola, in a Challenger. biggrin

This option will only be available to folks who have the expansion pack and I'm not sure everyone will have it, I don't yet.

What was that new download track? The other Italian one?

Imola - that's the one! I've got that.

I didn't go on yesterday as I was late back from Brands, did I hold on for a top three?

Dunno - I set what I think is a stonker. Very seriously doubt I could go faster - a rare lap tbh.

I saw Ballistic was on but don't know what he finished with.

Will have a look this evening.

Wow I thought there was quite a bit of time left to be had but an 03!!

How about going round all the circuits in the vintage touring cars Alfa/BMW, does everyone get on with those?

Well done for winning last weeks TT, your time was stunning and had me well beat.

Our setups were quite similar apart from tyre pressures (mine were lower), caster and front toe.

Did you find that most of the time was to be had in the final chicane?

Now about to install the expansion pack to get access to Imola.

Felt like I needed to get back on form so made a point of driving sober hehe

I'll chuck up a vid of me following the ghost if it helps any one.

I love the 87 WTCC cars. They sound so good!

Edit: tons of time in that whole last section after the two linked slow corners but,yes, I think there's half a second in that chicane if it's nailed.

Well done to a triumphant return for Asterix!! clap

I personally have got a bit bored with the TT really now as i think have a few others by the poor showing the last couple of weeks. What with Going away for a couple of weeks soon and other stuff i will be probably not be doing many more rounds (at least until some good DLC is out) but will keep an eye on this and update times as and when. Been Great fun with all you lads.

Very twitchy car (especialy under braking) on an extremely techical track - it's far more technical than I ever thought - reminds me of Suzuka.

Sorry to hear about the RROD - not great when that happens.

Only me and Ballistic having a go as far as I know.

I believe I was just ahead - not sure he was online again last night.

Yep, AFAIK we were the only ones doing Imola TT which you must have won (well done) because I've not been on since last Thursday.
TBH unless anyones got some fresh ideas I'm loosing interest (there doesn't seem much point if there's only two of us left participating.

How about we organise some races? (I had a race with Bobby Mac - Aids Giver when we did the Bruno TT and that was great fun, gives you a chance to compare setups and as we all know racing is a very different kettle of fish to hot laping)

Had a look last night - was about .9 up.

Tbh, I didn't enjoy the car much - couldn't get it balanced and it seemd to simply shoot off left under braking.

I'd love to race but then ties me down to specific times and remember that I'm 3hrs ahead.

I've noticed that there are more 'shunters' about while racing now. They'll be a good 2-3 secs slower per lap but seem to want to simply shove pass by braing too late and using you as a slowing down device.

Heads up! new DLC incuding vintage Camaro! and lots of other stuff yay!

Edit: and some track called Spa or some such.
Quite expensive, but I for one can't do without.
