Rosenlundaren
After a session last night I came down to .49.xx. Once. I'm stable at .50-51.xxx.

A bit annoying and frustrating that I'm not finding the speed through the corners that I'm sure of is there. :confused:

Love the track, though! :) đź‘Ť

Practice, practice, practice...

Thats not a bad time Rosen. I have managed a 49.4xx. More practice needed through the faster turns to trim some time off.

Dans time of 46.3 is very fast, but he was a GT Academy national finalist.
 
Cobani
Thanks for the pressure ... :dopey: ;)

Your welcome, I know you love a bit of pressure and after looking at the driver standings I have made a prediction on how the top 5 places will look like after Sundays race.

1st...COBANI
2nd...COBRIUS
3rd...GOODWOLF
4th...JIMFTR
5th...KOR_HELLRAZOR​

This is just a prediction and was worked out on drivers previous performances, and the fact that JIM and HASSLEMOFF will not be racing on Sunday.
 
Hold that thought!

Wait until you get a load of me! R247 IS MY MIDDLE NAME!

For Cybertron! đź‘Ť

Thanks for the comfort, Ade. đź‘Ť Still, find it hard to make steady, clean laps.

I will do some more practice tonight. But I'm lacking of racing experience e.g how to handle draft when you enter a sharp turn, braking points, and so on.

Any volunteer? :) Any time tonight works for me.

I will try to get on for some practice laps tonight after 8.00pm. It all depends on what time I get home...

Good little practice session saw some progress made on my time. 1:47.8xx was my best for the night, with Rosen getting his time down also to a 1:49.0xx. But it was Jamesbograt who has set the new benchmark time of 1:46.050. 3 tenths up on Dans 46.3. Dans on holiday, so is missing the practice, but he is an alien, and will deliver on the night. Cobani and Cobrius's times are unknown at the moment. Saturdays short race practice may answer some questions, but for the time being its Jamesbograt who has picked up Dans gauntlet.
 
Joylord cant make this Sundays race due to other commitments, but with Rosen back, and possibly Dowlin and Third_reign the grid should still be fairly full. If any reserve drivers come forward, there will be places.
