i had one year premium til 5th august and now you guys are recing my favourite cars....

 

[JamKart22]

It's only 11.99 euros. Bargain. Then you can race with us all year. I've done well over a 100 races this year with RD

Too good to pass up! I'm in...!

@JamKart22
Cant we race the full track??

 

[JamKart22]

I personally don't think the banking adds much apart from a minute to the lap!

I guess you can overtake in that section but there are no challenging corners to speak of.

If it would get more people to sign up then I'd consider changing it. What do others think?

In if it’s the road course

Hi, none of my previous passwords works. Do I need another one? TIA

Prefer the long course. You get a chance to relax on the banking. It also makes the circuit more interesting without subtracting anything.

 

[JamKart22]

We can do the full course next time. For now we'll stick with the road course.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

I personally don't think the banking adds much

It does if you get it wrong,Its good for overtaking,plus it lets you open up full throttle with these 2 beauties,Road course should have used the 25...

 

[JamKart22]

I'll add your to suggestions to the list Allan.

Also happy for people here to make suggestions for any future classic car/track combos...

Thinking about Bridgehampton next week back in the Lotus 25. Or maybe it better suits the Lotus 49/Ferrari 312/67. The Porknose is also a nice car.

Personal point of view.?????

I just do not like the 25, ( I hate the thing ) much preferer the 49 or the 312 which is my favourite. Not that keen on the 49, which if memory serves me is quicker than the 312, time will tell.

Bridgehampton which I like as a circuit, many memorable battles with Han and John there. Alas it would be a pointless race for me in the 25.

 

[JamKart22]

Just done a few laps around Fonteny in the 49. Over 9mins a lap but good fun. Does that appeal to people {49 and 312/67) or is it too long a lap?

I'm surprised to hear you feel that way about the 25 (and 49).... I thought it was some kind of unwritten rule that anyone from the UK has a royal obligation to love all Lotus vehicles (especially the vintage / classic ones)...

As for Bridgehampton, really like that one. Just recently discovered it...

I dont know if this includes tin tops but the Ford Escort/Alfa GTAM around Goodwood should be fun or any other 60/70's saloons to add to the mix.

To me it is like someone has taken the SKIPPY and tried to improve it, but failed miserably.
it a Skippy with more HP.
