OK.  VERY FAST it is...  (we can always change it at the last minute if folks can't make a full lap on a set of tires.  I can do one lap on Racing Softs and two on Racing Hards - I have just under half my tiire but would never make another whole lap)

I am going with natural time progession, so it will probably be getting near dusk when we finish.  Basically an afternoon cruise thru the German countryside.

Can I announce the announcement of the announcement?  ???

Oh and Cip mentioned 9'12  (and I know he went much quicker than that, without waiting)  8)

Sorry, guys. I need to be out of town during the day and will probably have to rush back to get the MNR room opened.

Funeral service for another friend taken by cancer.  :'(

L like the very fast tire wear also. I ran out of gas at the bridge on the long straight, coasted across the finsh line  at 9.12

Unfortunately, I didn't make it out of town.

So, if you keep to this schedule and laps are 9.25 minutes, I should be able to finish the 12 laps in time.

I tried to practice last night and got kicked out of my own lounge after I had everything set up so I gave up.  I think that I have around 3 or 4 laps of practice for this so watch out.  My car looks good though.

The car locked up the wheels going into curves, even after raising the Braking Sensitivity, but it wasn't nearly enough.

Taught me something, though.  :o

I had lots of fun during this event. Great job bada on walking away from the field. You certainly had this event in the bag despite the clusterfuck in turn 1.

Thanks Charlie.  Great event.  I was horrible in traffic; sorry to anyone that I hit.  I started hitting my groove later in the race.  I worked myself up from 3nd last and almost got to Cip on the last lap.  He made a mistake on the carousel which should have been my opportunity but I went and made a mistake on the carousel.  Great race.  Great combo.

I had a lot of fun, thank you Charlie.  Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to practice, and with the set up I used the only practice I had was in the lounge itself immediately before the race :-X  With that being said my car suffered from some truly horrible understeer in a few turns on the GP section of the course.  I don't think I had a single clean lap, and apologies to a few fellas I inadvertently held up after spin recoveries.  I tried to stay outside of the racing line when coming back into the track but it is a tight track so I knew it wasn't easy.

I never quite mastered the ABS-less braking and 1st or 2nd gear snap oversteer infuriated me to no end  

Wish I had more free time to set up, but I had a great time and look forward to doing it again, sometime in the future I'm sure ;D

I know i never had a clean lap, and I apologize if i was the cause of the lag wreck in the beginning. My other Ethernet cord broke so i tried a new one the day of the race.
