If you hated some of the other tracks, your going to hate this.

It is just a 3 times as long version of the short track we have all raced on.....completely horrible. You have no time to build up any speed, and most corners require taking in 2nd gear.

However, like the trooper I am, I've done a few laps so you have a target to aim for.

906 - 1.51.4

I haven't tried it yet, but I feel the 906 may be about the best car there.

914 could be in with a shout - or an alpine?

906 will be very good there No tactical switching of cars now boys

I had a race there a while back and was narrowly beaten by a very well driven 914

I'm going to evaluate the alpine vs the GT40 to see what wins I love the alpine

AS much as I'd like to think a more Nimble car will win, I suspect it's not the case, the GT40s will rule again here.

I've just done and handfull of laps in a few cars, Capri, BMW, Escort & 906.

Horrible circuit, though.

Horrible horrible horrible...

Who chose these tracks?

906 seems quick, 914 more adept at the constant changes of directions.

1:54 was my best, but I got pissed off and gave up...

I think I might be forced out of the 911 for this track, I keep going off at tangents on those corners

What a 'orible track, all the corners look the same

Wasn't me

I've just taken the Tomato around using my Magny Cours setup, needs a bit of tweaking but managed a 1:50.8 on 2nd timed lap. I totally fell to pieces after that when I buggered up the setup

Got a 1:54.0 in the Capri so far. Dropped the final drive a bit but only get into 5th for about half a second! Probably a track to take steady and wait for other people to fall off

Just won my first race on this track.

8 laps in the elan against gt76 cars.

Beat 2nd place by over a minute

But i dont enjoy driving this track, and im not fast at all
Just plodded around, very very easy track to make a mistake on.

1.53.661 so far after about 5 or 6 laps... :scratchcin:

Harder to be consistant I think.. a tricky track.
Anyone around there are a couple of us in the server and Ian will be back at 9 so I've been told

Good fun racing tonight.

My best lap is now 1:49.1ish.
In the race we just did my best was 1:50.5, however I have absolutely no consistency here. I doubt I'll be too competitive come Sunday.

Yeah was a good race...
I think qualy time is up to ~ 1.52.5
or something around that mark. The consistant race time is mainly around 1.53.5 to 1.54 as long as I don't spin

I've spent too much practice time over the last few weeks trying to get my favourite BMW CSL competitive at the league circuits, I seem to be getting there now at Mondello (although I hate the circuit, especially turn1 and turn 4.

Got the BMW down to a mid 1m53s now, with a little bit more practice I think I can get it down further, I can lap quicker in the 906, Pantera and Capri, but one thing the BMW is its stable and consistant
