Did some laps with Glen and Rpo last night went out in the Alfa to see what she was like at this track ....and man does it like this track
especially the straights .... sould make 4 a very hard race 4 us cortina drivers
did a lap off 1-05-2 in Alfa and a 1-05-4 in the Tina
This is going to be a very tight race .......:fear:

[BJSRacer]

i wont make the race on wed, but i'll come for a run on Tuesday night tho

[sco_aus]

So, part of my previous problem of not having time to race was spending more time with the missus as well as work. well that is no longer, so as soon as i pick up my rebuilt laptop, i think ill just jump on the computer and what the feck I want lol. Should be there for tassie.
Anyone else actually driven this track in real life? A lot of fun :D

The laps certainly go by fast, being so short.
I did a comfortable 1:07 in my Eastern creek settings, hope to put some laps in tomorrow...

[Mr Fox]

I been secretly trying to distract RPO with the 1991 mod while i been practising my arse off :whoo: little did he know MUHAHAHA

[rpo83]

It sounds like we had better cut some laps too see how the practice has helped you..:laser:

I'll be jumping on around 7:30..

[J Alesi]

Ya know he won't sleep till Wednesday now to catch up on prac:ohwell:

[rpo83]

Sleep they tell me is highly over rated....

Did a 1:04.9 tonight, but those damn alfas may be a problem :fear:

[Imperious]

I managed a 1.05.222, and that was with some very interesting approaches to a few corners.
Other than that, mid 1.05's easy enough, and a 1.06 is now a bad lap. :)

I did about 40 laps, with a slightly modified version of my Sandown setup, which was a slightly modified setup from Jeff (Speedfreak).:yo:

[Wally]

Hmmm... 1:06 is a good lap for me.

[Imperious]

I used Radiator at 1 and Brake duct 1.

Also over 1.06 is a slow lap, I was averaging 1.05.6

[SpeedFreak]

Hows jeff going with his Vent?OK i think i have it sorted found out my Sound card dosnt have mic support :doh:went and brought a USB headset :music:and stuffed around 2day and think ive got it .....not holding my breath just yet thou as i dont want 2 look like a smurf ..:faint2:

[flattop]

that is funny, I have it organise now, I wear my good head phones without the mic, hold the mic from the crappy head set the ear pieces don't work, press a button and steer with an elbow! (and I don't really feel comfortable about talking on the things anyway!).
I only have to work out how to have more volume on the 'vent' over the in-race sounds...

but it is great tool and certainly fun listening in in race mode at times...

When i 1st started using a mic i hated it, now i love it (cept push to talk) coz id rather talk than type any day

[DmXtReMe]

Ok put in a few laps this arvo and come out with a 1:05.900 still way away from pace thou.

OK jeff its time for the big guns whats ur email addy??? should you have any more issues with your mic let me know.

Russ.

[Imperious]

After about 70 laps or so tonight, I finally managed a 1.05.136, and it was a clean lap too, no drifting either.

There were about 5 to 6 show up, most laps in the 1.05.5 range.

The race should be a beaut Wed night. the hairpin will likely be a danger zone though, especially 1st lap. :car:

[flattop]

I jumped on last night for a few laps and concentrated on my worst section, Steve you will pleased getting the first turns organised dropped me to low 1:07s with race settings.
I think I will need to sort out my indicators and hand signals, it is going to be a 'busy' race me thinks...

[Mr Fox]
