I tested too (gik you send me the PM when I was in an other room :D => read when I went off).
I did some 1:25´s low and high; was quite nice for first 10laps. Will test more and then I´ll join one off your rooms :D

Well a mid 1:24 would be possible for me but the Sector after the Cork is always my source of error (the Cork is not a problem because I like this turn and I had to test with my FGT on LS very long => I have a good line through it)

Good to hear sakery, got any tips for corkscrew as I lose so much time there but up in the other sectors.
No worries about last night.
 
Well I drive the second part of the cork in the middle of the Track.
There isn´t the "spinout bump" and your still fast enough. Also I shift up early to get less Wheelspin.

First left in 2nd gear (from outside to inside curb) (circa 78-83kph / 50mph-ish)
=> try to keep in the middle of the Track and shift up in 3rd (a bit on the gas but not full throttle)
=> take the right part still in the middle to avoid the "bump" (95-100 kph could be your speed guide / 60-63 mph)

I have no problems with the cork anymore (I hope it is understandable ;))
 
PM's sent out if i have missed anyone let me know only one i cant send is Calm_Dan your pm's are full. Understand not all of you will be around for S2 just easier to multi pm everyone Thanks All.👍

I've noticed that about middle of track, if I'm too much to the right it spins me.
Thanks king!

I own most of them with two of them already fully run in. Remove the turbo and alter PP, and thank you I am in!. Give me some time to decide though...

Like I said another meter on track and you would have won!

Edit: isn't the lotus turbo going to cause some grief aswell as the maclaren???

Nope both have speed but lack the handling of some of the others the balance is right, ive raced the Mclaren on a fast track against the slower Audi was nowt in it.👍 The Audi 4wd system came into its own through the turns.
