Yay, thanks. Though I suspect that anything other than a Merc won't be able to break 4 minutes? 4.06 is still my best with the Vanwall, even if I managed to make it run pretty good.

You know, I reckon the D50 might. I was doing 4:02s in that initially and I felt it was a beautiful car to drive on the limit. You'll get much more out of that than the Vanwall anyway.

I heard them say it, rather than read it. Moss spoke about it at the Classic Car Show one year, and Brooks told me at the FOS. Oh and they said the gearbox was shit too.

4.02,39 at Spa with the Lancia. If my computer hadn't turned on the screensaver just before La Source, I might had gotten below 4 minutes.

4.01,24 now, but I think my 5th gear is too tall. Will do one more try later on that I can record.

4.00,49 with the Merc, however with some traffic after Stavelot...

Sounds like I may have to do some digging and dust off the trusty old Sidewinder wheel...

Very good What about doing it in Practice so you don't run into any AI?

Nah. Traffic is double edged sword. Especially here. They either give you a tow or you catch them right at an apex.
Makes it more fun too!

Anybody tried the Isle of Man or Dundrod in the 55's yet? Haven't seen any times posted on CRank other than mine.
Also, any way of posting a Spa replay? I can't imagine how you guys are so fast!! I'll post an Isle of Man and Dundrod if it's possible.

Here's the race result from a race I did at Dundrod before. It's an amazing track for these cars, for sure. "D. Splaash" is me.

I found the old Sidewinder wheel yesterday and plugged it in today. Amazingly, it still works despite having sat unused for close to a decade. Been about the same time since I last used it for GPL.
My first lap with no major offs @ Spa resulted in a measly 4:06.67 with the D50. I got a lot of work ahead...

My first lap with no major offs was rather slower than that, so I would call that a very competitive time!Mawerick wrote: ↑6 years ago I found the old Sidewinder wheel yesterday and plugged it in today.

Dunno. I know I lost time at Eau Rouge and a bit at Malmedy, maybe also Blanchimont.
Meh, should give it more than a few laps at a time.

Maw was blindingly fast back in our FMB League heydays. He would lap Monza at 1.24 and go "Meh, I'm slow".
