It's OK, I struggle a lot with it too. The car also doesn't help, I can't use my usual in-car view (customised slightly, a bit lower and quite a bit further back).
Fine in every other car but this LMP1 literally cannot see anything so have to move to the roof mounted cams and I lose my ability to judge angles / skids as much.
I think I'd struggle with it less if it was the old GP circuit - can't get S1 sorted at all through the slow stuff.

Well....I'm even more crap than my usual crapness at Silverstone. Never liked the circuit so don't know it at all. 20 laps and still can't fathom it. Way off even my slow pace. Now getting annoyed with it :-) grrrrrrrrr
Hada track day there and leant my car to a mate who didn't know the circuit. I waved him in from the old pit wall and he acknowledged with a wave that he saw me. He didn't come in so had my lesson in his car. When I eventually saw him it was that he couldn't find the pits. Even after a full day every corner was new to him. Bloody awful featureless circuit. I was in a 340 bhp lotus exige and it still felt slow on the straights as they are so bloody wide. Need a LMP1 or F1 car to make it exciting

Weekly Update.

xjay1337 has sewn up the real times league with a week still to go.

However it's still all to play for in the handicap championship with xjay1337, Matt S, me and Ian S all within 3 points of each other and Rob coming up the outside with a late burst and a pre-booked monster of a time at Snetterton.

Handicaps have been updated for Snetterton.

While I'm here I'll be setting up the next championship soon, so I'm looking for submissions for 6 track/car combos, DLC combos are allowed. It's up to you, if there's nothing forthcoming then you'll be left at the mercy of my rather random choices :-)

I think that is the problem for me. Just can't fathom braking points or turn in as I can't see any features to go by....especially in that car ! Oh well...onwards to the next.

For next season, how about making it themed...like British built cars only or something similar like 6 different cars, on tracks from their country of origin ?

I'll sometimes see a result and want to make a comment. Needs more button presses to get onto pistinheads.com, find the thread and then navigate to the page.

I know it's a first world lazy git problem so I thought who can I pass the problem on to. Your name sprung to mind

OK, we have 1, 5 to go, I'm presuming that's not the bloody 6 minute full jobbie, because that's barred, mainly because I'll never complete a valid lap and it really screws up the handicaps

There is a comments section on the results page, which I keep forgetting about !

Mark, did you see my comments around a theme above or are you after specific car/track combo's. If specific, how about Caterham & Cadwell.

It's on my to-do list to change that comments section to not be race specific and be more of an ongoing chat board, but busy at work at the moment, so it's taking a bit of a back seat currently.

Saw your idea about country specific races, and absolutely fine with it. But still not picking the combos if I can help it, not a good enough driver to know what a good combo is, I just figure if it's difficult, it's difficult for everyone, but then I get all sorts of abuse :-)

So far we have:-

Mclaren P1 at Nurburging GP
GT3 car (which one?) at Oulton Park
Caterham (which one?) Cadwell
