I find i am 2 seconds slower if i set the BB to 55/45 and faster if i have them 61/39, I have also managed to do a full tank on one set of tyres pushing hard for 12 laps. 2 stopper for me then.

Im in! Put my name on the list!

/ Edit

First time I ever sat my feet on this track. Spent almost the whole night practicing it. In general I have pretty good understanding of it. Now comers the hard part. Choosing the car.

I tried both the BMW's. Did not like em for this track.
Tried the Vette, was okay, but very unstable on some parts.
Spyker - So far, the only car I liked.

So I think I'm gonna go for the Spyker. Also the setup I have for it, seems to work best for me.
Could maybe fiddle around more with the Vette, but I don't know what causes it to be so unstable.

I've never been on this circuit either and I've had no practise. I'm expecting to be dead last here so anything better than that is an achievement lol

Nice to know I'll have company at the back of the grid for at least a lap until you start pulling away!

Well, I was doing really well (compared to my usual), actually chasing down the cars ahead of me. Then one tiny mistake, into the tires. I was really surprised the damage was unrepairable, it didn't seem that hard a hit. Annoyed with myself for the stupid mistake, but pleased with how I was doing up until then.

Hope the rest of you had a less frustrating end :-D

I'd love to see another race with this class.

Justin Swan · Jul 23, 2013

Well that ended up exactly how I thought it would. UPSIDE DOWN!! LOL

I had to quit. My wrists were killing me. Race was okay, had good pace and didn't do any major mistakes. But with 15 min left, at the last corner (pit entrance) it was like someone stabbed my wrists with 1K needles. I had to release the wheel and stretch for a sec or two. Last 3 places, but I continued for a lap but almost at the same place, my wrists said no. So I had to quit.

Warren Dawes · Jul 23, 2013

That was a lot of fun, these cars were quite good on this track. I knew the track from GTL, so it didn't take too long to settle into it, but it still has a few nasty spots to kill the car. Looked like all of the cars were pretty well matched on this track too.

I was having a great race with Daniel, glued to his tail for most of the race but didn't think I could find a pass unless he made a mistake. Sadly, Daniel had his off and wrist pain with only about 8 or so laps to go. Great racing Daniel, really good fun, thanks.

The little Sunred was very nice here, fairly easy to drive, until the last few laps when the tyres were shot. The last few laps were very hairy, but I was happy to bring it home.
Grats to Eric for the win and well done Matthias for 2nd.

Thanks to Dennis for organising, hope to get a run in these GT cars again sometime.

Sorry i missed the race guys. While the lil one and I were having lunch at the mall someone broke in to my truck while parked in the underground parking.

We just got home from dropping truck off at glass repair shop.

Funny, I was hoping you would make an mistake, and give me a short break so I could stretch my wrists. But no, you were, like you said, glued to my back

Eric Stranne · Jul 24, 2013

That was quite a nice combination I must say. Managed to get pole by just a tenth or so, and then went all through the race in the lead. Matthias decided to pit which lost him like 28 seconds in the end, so I was glad I didn't. Cheers for the racing guys, was a nice way to spend 45 minutes

Dennis Phelan · Jul 24, 2013

Thanks to all of you for signing up. We haven't used this very nice track in a long time, too bad more didn't come by to see what it's like. I enjoyed watching the effort put forth by the top qualifiers, right down to the end!

My view of the race from the back fell short today, I could only watch the blue dots and check the leader board each lap. I did stay on track, a feat for me in the BMW!
