If anyone needs any help heres my quick guide to this track.

I'm at work so have done this from memory. Hope help someone out 

The first chicane  - Brake as late as you can keep far right on the straightaway and try to go straight through it.

 

Turn 1 (Hairpin) - Keep well to the rightcoming in. Drop it down to second and power all the way through it.
 
Turn 2 - Make sure your tight up on the inside curb as it sets you up for turn 3
 
Turn 3, 4 and 5 - Keep close to the right then turn in to turn 4 on the left and keep the car straight through over turn 5.
 
Turn 6 and 7 (hairpin) - Keep far to the right on coming in to turn 6 and hit the left curb on turn 6. Don't brake for turn 7 just got left left under power through turn 6 and 7.
 
Turn 8 - The long sweeping left is a nightmare. When you see the pole on the left just get close to it. To achive a 48 you must not brake on that turn just lift off.
 
Turn 9 - This is also a nightmare! Keep to the left and brake as late as possible. Drop it in to second and hit the right curb under power and she will pull through.
 
Turn 10 - Keep to the left down to second and hit the apex.
 
Turn 11 / 12 (Last hairpin) - Keep to the right and brake just past the 100m mark and put it in to second. On the first little turn keep to the right and then tighten it up on the 2nd bit under power on to the straight.

I did a 6 lap race against AI at 105%, this was my fasters lap. I started recording after the first chicane.

This can only end one way...horribly...for me. With your laptimes vs. mine I don't think we will be near each other on the grid, let alone the track. But if I am near you I will overtake!  120

Never. Lap times mean crap here!

A. The stewards love to Black flag me. Don't know why!!

B. Anything can happen!

C. To do a 48 I'm so on edge its unreal! A few cm off line and I will do a 2:00+!

D. I will still beat you! 6

My goal is to stay consistant and pray that Church makes a mistake, perhaps another bad pitstop? BTW where is Kurupt? He said he was going to have all this free time since he was off from work this week.  It's not like he has anything new going on right now.  42

lol iam just sitting back enjoying the playfull harassment :)

Not as fast as church but he knows the times i was running here.......like church said really fast laps will only occur if you can get out front early and maintain consistency for 30 mins....this track has very few passing areas and if you push too much you will end up in the wall....it will take a masterfull drive to run 48's for 30 min here:)

My game plan is to keep my lap times to 1:50-1:51's stay consistent ride peoples asses and wait for them to make a mistake and not make any mistakes myself....its gonna be a tough race but i need to figure out how to lengthen my overal lead on Knight 55

Church when you get a sec could you update the results please.

I just realized i miscommunicated to you when i was asking to remove the 2 worst performance from each.....

Iam sure people wont argue this cause it really benefits everyone minus me......what i forgot to say was eliminate each racers worst 2 performances from rounds 1-5 and again from 6-10 this will allow for everyone to miss a total 2 races in the season=4 worst rounds eliminated at seasons end.....this will tighten the overall race and give people a resonable pass due to real life stuff and not get dinged too bad.

If the majority oppose to this will keep it the same,not sure why i didnt catch this earlier?

Well one thing I never thought about was fuel!! blush

With 30 laps worth of fuel I'm running in the mid to high 1:50's which is more like it, I wondered why my laptimes were so low 21

Man it is way closer than I thought. Really close between first and second, and 3rd place is close between 3 of us.  Should be interesting to see what Mapo does to the dynamic.  I can't wait for this race.

4 races =8 rounds or 2 races =4 rounds ?

what if at season end we just eliminate your 2 worst races =4 rounds total that would eliminate your 2 missed race days of 4 rounds.

Do you think it will be possible to start at our regular time this week?  I have some stuff I have to do tomorrow afternoon so if we can start on time, or shortly after our regular time I would really appreciate it.  38

The 1pm Texas time.  Lately we have been starting an hour past that just with schedules and practice laps.  But if we could start relatively on time I would greatly appreciate it.  Hopefully everybody can make the usual time.

Our regular start time is perfect, I just won't have time if we all are doing practice laps for 30-60 mins then start the qualifying and then the 2 races.  Maybe if Kurupt can have the server up before 1pm Tx time people can get some practice in and then we can get started on time. 

I am not trying to be a buzzkill, just trying to get started on time tomorrow. 136

Right, the original plan was start at 7PM your time church. So that means everybody in the server, then 10 mins of qualifying, then the 2 races.  What we have been doing is people show up at the right time but we all get practice in for a while, then qualifying, then the races.  I was just trying to eliminate the practice time and get into the qualifying and races sooner. 

Make sense?
