He he, yes, but had a lot of good fortune, lucky to get past Vince Lai, lucky one of those Audi rotters punted you off, lucky it was a 40 minutes race, lucky you ran out of time to catch up.
Made tons of silly errors, got away with it all, 40 minutes of racing home and dry, 10 minutes more, 10 minutes less and I would not get that result.
I will go for a more stable Audi at Nords.

PRACTICE SERVER IS UP!

 

[Bart Snijders]

I was just doing some much needed practice , and was wondering what reasonable times are around here with these cars?

I haven't tried this lay out with these cars yet but I guess the Audi will be between 8 and 9 minutes and the Mazda a bit more than a minute slower.
We have a gentleman's agreement not to post real lap times here in order not to discourage inexperienced drivers.

 

[Bart Snijders]

Thanks, that's gives me an idea...

I was too optimistic. I underestimated the GP circuit part. I couldn't do an 8 with the Audi.

Don´t feel sad.

Can´t get the Mazda under 10min either-
(and have yet to complete a lap without serious mistake )

I am certainly not practicing for this race, 10 minutes a lap is far too taxing, have gone for the Audi, I think I can keep that on the track for a few laps.

Signed up with the MX5. Not tried the track yet but watched a couple of videos of the MX5, qualifying looks like a one shot attempt with the time it takes to get around. Absolutely no chance of learning this track beyond "I think this goes right/left" (I am still learning Barcelona for Sunday). Think I will be happy to start at the back and take a leisurely drive for this one, roof down, radio on, hopefully it will be nice weather.

That's the spirit! Best is for those that don't know the track to see this as a fun way of learning it without any pressure. I hope that all will love the track like I do so that we can do the Nordschleife more often.

I am using < this guide > to get properly accquainted with Nords, it will make me look less rubbish on the MX5 I hope... haha!

Thanks! after a 250km+ practice session yesterday I can tell you that its definitely possible

Qualify time is lenghtened to 30 min. You should be able to do 2 timed laps.

 

[Bart Snijders]

Wow!

Its more perseverance then skill tbh
I forgot how much I enjoy driving this track, one I can really get lost in...before you know it your evening ha turned into (late)night
Hope this is allowed but here is my setup for the Audi, still WIP though but it might help somebody along...

 

[stigs2cousin]

So,
got two laps together without serious mistakes, still over the 10.00 minute mark.

This is going to be fun,

The MX5 & Nordschleife combo doesn't come around to often. I think the last time was way back in 2018 - it was a sell out. It's well worth learning the track ahead of the race. I've still got the replay (part of the race, but there are plenty of aliens...) if it will help.
