Here's an onboard. Not the best image quality but you get the gist of the layout.

 

[RockRacing77]

Yes,please

 

[Redvaliant]

Yes,please

Hi Dan, you're in.

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Yes in please

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Craig, added.

 

[Munkyboo]

yes please/
Driven this track several times and still havent got my bearings on when most of the corners are coming up. Hope to finally learn it properly!

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Adrian, added. Yeah, it's not so much the track layout -which you can learn in a few laps - it's the lack of any markers for the corner entries. Plus the bumps. I turned the driving line on and it is nowhere near my line for most of the fast corners, but it's there for people that may need it.

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Yes please! This track brings back memories of racing it in the old Papyrus Indycar days and none of us having a bloody clue when to start turning. It's still pretty much the same for me! I guess it's no different to the blind corners you get on other tracks, but there are so few visual clues it just seems a lot more tricky here.

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Scott you're in. The other Airfield track, the Brazillian one, is even worse. We've never used it as nobody would be able to leave the pits it's so confusing.

 

[Eric S]

Daniel, sign me up, for at least the first race. 2nd probably a bit late for me.

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Eric added. Yeah, I'm thinking of moving back to 18:30 UTC start time but for a 30 min practice. Probably for the following week.

 

[Redvaliant]

There's been an update -one that alters the tyres for the GRP Cs: minor adjustments and the hards are now available for the Nissan and Corvette. it's fairly big so best to get it soon.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Yes Please, Daniel. I will get some laps in to get to know the track!

 

[Redvaliant]

Yes Please, Daniel. I will get some laps in to get to know the track!

Hey Bas, you're in. The Race Line aid is enabled if you need it.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Wow those 2 corners at the back end are really tossing you around in VR.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

Hey Bas, you're in. The Race Line aid is enabled if you need it.

Thanks! Won't need the race line aid, I need a racing aid in general

 

[Redvaliant]

Lol, yeah it's a tricky track alright. I think the driving line is kinda wrong in a few of the fast corners, I'm going in much earlier than that stupid green/red snake is suggesting, but it's there as an aid for anyone struggling with the entry points for the corners. Another thing, that Sauber driven by the AI is stupidly fast, too fast. I tried following it for a lap and couldn't stay with it through a few of the fast corners.

 

[Bas Kriesels]

I have tried all 4 cars and again the Porsche is (my opinion) to most drivable but lacks power/speed on the straights! The sauber drives like a truck as does the Nissan. But then again I don't know if the Corvette is the way to go for me??? ........... Which car do I take? What do you guys think drives the best?

 

[Redvaliant]

I was on with DanRock on Saturday and tried the Sauber, Corvette & Porsche. Sauber was quicker for most of the lap over the others, but hard work. I was a few tenths off in the Porsche, eventually...it's just so much nicer to hustle than the Sauber. I don't think the Sauber,Nissan or Corvette can run away from the Porsche due to the bumpy, tricky corner entry nature of the track.
