I'm going to have a go tonight.
I'm thinking Elise, NSX and RX8. An the Elise would be the obvious Monaco choice.

id imagine with that combo of you in a elise you will do well long as you keep it out the barriers

[CJ1987]

seems furball is more competitive this season (dammit )

[FurballS2000]

we'll see... Not sure on the Tamora, way too keen to under steer round Monaco. Have 3 different 111R's around 500pp apparently so I may be painting one of them orange

warned you it liked to understeer lol

So are we starting this on the 29th, or the 5th? Because I voted for a two-week break, meaning the 5th, but I don't recall what the majority went for.

Between testing time and some very inconvenient exams, the 5th would suit me much better, but obviously it depends what everyone prefers.

it will be starting on the 29th which is a 2 week break since the last race of S4

[McSam]

OK. That's a one week break in my mind, since we usually have a week's gap between races anyway!

[Fartgalen]

Right - had my half hour testing !

NSX
Golf
Elise

Which if Col classifies correctly is coupe, hatch and conv

I thought a 2 week gap meant 2 weeks and no races - but anyway, I'm pretty much all set for next Weds, so long as the lurgy goes away, I'm glad I got bed ridden the week before the champsionship and not during.
I raced with the flu once...partly did a Mark Webber and vomitted in my skid lid, not pretty.

[FurballS2000]

Your mind works weird!

yup they are coupe, hatchback and convertable

@fuel

is it man flu or just a cold?

[McSam]

500PP Golf, that'll be fun!

I tried out an S2000, which musters 404bhp at 1250kg.. And a raft of boost threshold issues to go with it entertaining in a "this clearly isn't right" sort of way..

-10 secs for cutting a corner

[McSam]

Sounds about right.

Tron, have you seen this kid's Flickr ID? Something must be done!

[Allaloneatron]

I feel violated and dirty.

nothing new there then

Colin, I was quite ill TBH, on the mend though so it's all good, and a long weekend to get back to the normal routine of testing like crazy before Wednesday.

It's quite nice to have Monte Carlo in this season, particularly with it being the next F1 round in close duration (you planned that though, didn't yee).

Tyre wear at 500PP is a bit more apparent after less laps, so that'll make this season interesting (and the possibility of having to pit for fresh rubber - it's like running Pirelli's... ).
