Oh yeah I forgot about that, I guess that was mishap number 3 then.. or technically number 2 since it was after the wall bit me and before the missed braking chicane one lol.  I gunned it a bit early and lit up one of the rear tires due to the car not having an LSD, that made for a lot of smoke / noise and lack of speed exiting the chicane due to a bit of fishtailing which meant Pete had to jam on brakes and you guys came together :(.  In retrospect should I have waited up there too since technically I caused the whole thing?

Regarding the tracks my vote goes for La Sarthe with the 155mph fixed transmission, though either one would be great :).

Honestly in a case such as that I dunno.  But I was a bit peeved at the time.  Still doesn't mean you should wait though

At the chicane Feldynn, no big deal, just a racing incident, I've caught that corner enough times myself.
Gong into the tunnel, I saw smoke and Feldynn loose, so I lifted, cant remember if I hit the brake, but it was my fault I lost it, so you didn't have to wait for me Wolf, you were catching me pretty fast so I wouldn't have held you up that or the next lap.
All good fun and clean racing.

REPOST for page 4

OKAY, INFORMAL POLL TIME:  What do you want to do for race #4?
1) Monza - everything else the same
2) La Sarthe - all cars using customized transmissions  set to 155 mph (and no individual gear tinkering allowed, just the top speed slider).

Please let me know!  Decision will be made by 5/28, so that everyone still has a week to prep for the chosen track.

I vote for La Sarthe with the 2013 configuration, which is a bit more forgiving.  :)

Yeah that's cool.  I'm saying to adjust the slider so it is 155 :)

Lap count for tomorrow night is TEN LAPS.

Best time I could muster last night was a 5:17, but I would say that 5:10 or less is easy to accomplish on a light fuel load, especially if any drafting is involved.

Hi Dawson,
