Maybe i have still some time tomorrow.
Remember, I will only count the first 8 laps :thumbsup: I saw you made a big mistake going into Park Curve and that lost you several seconds. Without that mistake, I think you could have been within 1.5-2 seconds of Jacob's time :thumbsup:

So I crash on 7 out of my 8 laps, but on one lap I do a stunning time. Does it still count? :tongue:

EDIT: And can I upload by 7:15 EST, rather than GMT. 7:15 is only 2:15 my time, and I'm still at school at that point.

Yep, providing it's within the first 8 laps of the session.

By the way, longer circuits will only be 5 laps. That's not even enough to warm up the tyres at Crystal Palace :tongue:

I did a 52.25 a few minutes ago. Also 4-wheel drifting through Ramp Bend :smiley: . Will try to set a faster time in the morning, but for now I need to think and focus on other things (homework) :sorrow:

53,384 sec for me (Lap 6)


With some more practice and luck I think I can find some time here and there. :smiley:

2 secs better than my previous PB (done with Brabham) for Crystal Palace.

Quite an interesting way of taking Ramp Bend :tongue:

I'm struggling in North Tower Cresent and Park Curve. Lot's of understeer. I'll try to soften the front suspension, see if it helps.

I've got my time down to the very-nearly-on-the-edge-of-being-competitive time of 54.55.

I'm trying to convince myself that its because I can't make a decent setup to save my life, and driving GPL without a FF wheel is very hard. You simply can't feel what the car is going to do next. I drive by the time-honoured phrase: By guess and by God.

Driving without a FF wheel is horrible in racegames.

Am now looking into a FF wheel. And did we agree that I can put my time in by 7:15 EST?

FINALLY: Did a 53.49 a minute ago. Doesn't seem like much, but I'm right chuffed.

There's my entry, unless I can get a better time. (Which I shall try)

I did 10 laps or something, and then a run of 7 laps
My best lap is 50"443.
I'll try later another run within the rules :tongue:

edit : I did 51"036 on my 7th lap, but I have no replay from that lap.

Here's my entry.

52.25 was the fastest lap, on lap 7.

http://www.mediafire.com/?4ghe24t2yz7

I did one lap too many, but only the first 8 count so I should get away with it (i hope).

Anyway, I'm off to the Glen. I have to hurry cause I don't have many days left to compete. :wave:
