I tried once mate, but to be honest I just seemed to get a lot of clever-bugger replies, so gave up on it.
No offence intended to you personally.

I do race on-line, but using a different name, or my son's account. smile

Yes, going to have to get GT5, plus a better (G25/27 ?) wheel.
A lot of people knock the microsoft one, but I'm ok with it, and seem competitive when online. smile

Had to take it to pieces the other day and fix it though....I'll have a go at anything that's broke, because I'm so tight-fisted. hehe

Anyway, works again. biggrin

I'll try to put up a decent race at Brands GP and Donington, but trouble is, when you know you're filming it, you get self-conscious and make a total balls-up on corners you'd normally breeze through. rolleyes

Here's one of my favourite tracks, where the Bathurst races take place.

Stupid batteries ran out just as I was getting into my stride. rolleyes

First lap I'm just practising really, because the time includes getting off the line, whereas your subsequent ones are where you're really going for it.

My best time so far is 1.50 in the Veyron.

Yes you're right Dave, but my boy is needing his first car too, and his first INSURANCE. yikes

So, for the time being his daft old dad has to be a sofa racer. rolleyes

Sacrifices sacrifices. frown

Now this is how I do Donington: biggrin
