I'll start the ball rolling. No idea whether it's a good time or not, but I expect it'll be beaten quite soon

Evora 09 - right handful

Glad it wasnt just me or my setup!
I even switched back to stock suspension at one point and wasnt much slower, the Evora doesn't seem to like the elevation changes and high kerbs around Deep Forest, the same setup was completely nailed around Grand Valley East. I tweaked it a bit to get the time above but still a reasonable amount more there if I could get a mistake/twitch free run.

[pmjg66]

the Evora looks like this from inside certainly don't like this circuit trys to spit you out every corner, bump,faster than the ferrari 458 in a straight line but the ferrari brakes and corners so much better,will keep trying both,this will be fun

Just mucking about with my new toy and thought I'd use the time trial track....didn't expect to be anywhere near tbh. The F1 isn't exactly forgiving!!

eta, bloomin' great fun to drive when you get it right though!

I must be having an off morning. I nearly always win deep forest races as I use it as my test track for new cars, so know it very well, but can't get close to a 1.16 at the moment!

since PKLDs update you not even there

you are 4th though do you compete against PK, PJ at that track? dont think i've competed against you there??

tbo, racing is very different to time trial, allot of people quick in time trial do not necessarily place high in racing for various reasons.

A couple of laps in my Evora. I need to tune the suspension more as its a bit twitchy.

[Pvapour]

for Jon

weirdest bit for me is the fact that I am quickest on the 1st out lap on cold tyres

Whoops sorry Jon - I'll use anyway to take out the competition eh?!

So tricky to nail the corner that sends you onto the uphill straight - the cars I'm using don't have much power so I'm losing time getting a good run out!

I've tried several p533 cars and apart from the Elise, NSX, s2000 I'm miles off! Couldn't get my trusty old skyline round below the '20s! I'm tuning an odd ball car up tonight though...

[pmjg66]

fitted all lightening parts including glass/bonnet etc and put aero on the Evora and it made a big difference,left both times for the same car to compare.

had to drop engine power quite a bit to get back to 533pp but at least you can use all the power.

[jon-]

I'm not sure I like this series anyway, who's stupid idea was it?!

I've gont to the dark side and bought a wheel today. I only did 5 laps on deep forest, best time... 1.18

Looks like I'll be giving the evora another chance ^ then
