Ran a few last night. Quite a boring track on your own, but can see some epic slipstream battles come race day. Most of the track is just foot to floor. Only need brakes 5-6 times over the course of nearly 3 minutes.

Yeah, these low-powered open-wheelers are really more suited to short and tight tracks.

thorns and goop are tie'd for points at the mo!

yea pretty foot to the floor here, some nice fast flowing bits though.... dont touch the grass!, You can really fly though that first chicane, hardly need to brake for it.

Well, I have been doing some practice laps on this weeks track. On a race fuel load there is about 2 seconds a lap diff between R1's and R2's. Of course, at race pace the R1's last all of about 4 laps. It's a track which favours the brave and the smooooooth. Drop a tire onto the grass and away you go through the senic route. Pit stratagey is going to be interesting. Do you do a token stop with no gas or tires or more traditional? If you can stay close enough to someone, there will be epic draughting even through the twistys along with the ensuing chaos :D

Some say, his nipples have FBM badges on them. Some His birth cert has G25 on it. All we know is... Thorns for the win!

lol Sam,

I dont think it will be that easy. That time on there of mine needs to be deleted as it was achieved after I cocked up the first chicane and went bouncing across the gravel, turns out its faster ;)

Can run a low 52, but cant crack the 51s yet.

Struggle with this track a bit as you cant get a nice rythym going on it like the previous two tracks.

Lol, your struggle is 3 seconds faster than mine. And I think we still have the same set lol.

I will speed up on the night though. Once I get someone faster to follow and I cant sort some non-braking and turn in points out.

yea theres afew places you can go flat out through if you get the right turn in.

You can push hard through that back twisty section, but grass around that bit it always close when your pushing through there. Such a long track you have to get everything right in the lap to get a good time.

feel like im starting to get the hang of this car, still no where near thorns
