Scale the 2 Merc's were just "sandbagging" so you think you got it sorted for Sunday 
Yer quite literally sandbagging, u end up in the sand lol. You just cracked under the immense pressure of a blue audi that can get the best exit out of the 2nd chicane But no, the mercs will definitly be quick and i very much doubt n audi will win. However monza ALWAYS delivers close racing so should be fun.

Wow Flanked...
Did you manage that 1:40 in an online lounge?
I can only get 141.556 in an online lounge (no draft) and 140.1XX in an offline practice room...
Could not sign into PSN last night to practice.
Sassa - Vettel is on pole so the Canadian GP looks like a 2011 style bore-fest LOL. If Vettel breaks the draft by lap 1.5 then you know you must stop wasting your life and switch on the PS3

Yeah, I got that 141.556 with SRF off but after lap 3 with no SRF it becomes REALLY tough to keep up a good pace.
Just got 140.3XX in an online lounge with SRF on

I could only manage a 1:42.7 on my own.
Don´t know how Homes can do a 1:41xxx with his 610pp Astra ??
Are you using a Vauxhall ?? (more torque and Power)
Races where superb.
In both Races I started from faar behind, due to my lack of pace.
But I could fight my way up.
Race1:
With the Draft of Rikko, Driver and Allykh I could keep up with the faster guys.
I could brake way later which caused me to be a bit too aggressive, espacially against the end with Allykh.
This caused Scale to close the Gap and Last Lap Parabolica I took 3rd but got outdrafted by Scale => 0.013seconds I missed Podium -_-
Race2:
So again reaaly far behind but I managed to keep up again.
Had a nice battle with Wordup and Driver (but me think I caused Drivers off ??) till pitstop.
After that I could close the Gap to Petrolhead. I had to keep in his Draft because them Benzes where Ultra fast on the Straights.
Last lap Lesmo 2 Petrol touched the Grass and the gap went bigger. But me thought he´ll get me anyway.
He closed and at finishline it was 0.1-0.3 seconds but me finished infront
=> Podium again *w00t*

@will - You need to move to an area with better broadband m8.
@Sakery - I know there is a big difference in performace between the Opel Calibra and the Vauxhall Calibra, so I assume there is a difference between the Opel and Vauxhall Astra but I don't have the Opel version so I can't test. Also, I spent ages setting up my gear box so I could use all 6 gears. For example - coming out the 1st chicane I was using 1st gear where everyone else was using 2nd gear, so I effectively had a 6 speed gearbox where everyone else had a 5 speed gearbox. 6 gears are better than 5. When I was racing against you I noticed that I was much faster on the straight. Were you using any wing?
Will post results later.

I used maximum Downforce, because of the Lesmos and Parabolica.
And I tried without it but I wasn´t faster (Timewise).
In addition I don´t use a Turbo and abuse the Power-Limiter (not that anybody does it but it´s sometimes common but I dislike that method).
I´m a DS3 user => limited Throttle control => no use of 1st gear
Will test the Vauxhall maybe its faster.

Hi Guys,
Thanks again for the racing last night.
Man...I was slow, felt like I was driving a beetle. Still enjoyed it.
Well done to Homes, who clearly out classed the field with a well prepared car.

Hi guys, (wow CANU still ahead of me, he hasnt even been here lol) good race, went surprisingly well, with my seriously slow TT i managed 3rd and 2nd, how i do that?? Homes ur Astra was like a space shuttle, i'll be looking for revenge for mocking me on last 2 laps Slowing down to wait for me so we could have a 'race' lol. Sakery, that downforce hurt u a bit, i was faster thn u on straights. But still a good result for u m8
