When i was practicing last week i was able to run pretty consistent high 1:09s and i think ive got t1 and the rest of the first sector sorted out but im struggling atm with the 2nd sector for some strange reason but high 9's seem to be a pretty decent pace anyway

T1 is Handbrake and gears, pulling out from there with the timeunder 9s will give you a good time. T1 I use the black square on the track to hit the HB.

LOL. Here's hoping, Did a few laps tonight but coudn't get below 1.09.90 (3 laps in a row).

But hole different ball game with you lot, Heart pounding, Watching the clutch, Mirrors etc.

I find BL2r is more fun and a totally different drive to the std way, more fun

Racing with only one leg (knee is stuffed) so thats fun as well.

did some more practice tonight. Managed to run 16 laps on my qual set before I ran out of fuel. Set a new pb of 9.35. Average is probably around a mid 9, really feel like theres an 8 in it, if I could just get t1 right :(

Cant wait for tomorrow, its been a while since I have raced with you guys

thats really good pace chris you and wildboy will be right up there. I think swivel is right could be some casualties here, some hairy as bits with anything more than 1 car wide. Reverse grid race will be interesting as heck!

cant wait, hopefully i can hook it together, i need more pace averaging low 1.10's

jsut got to find the line on some corners sly once you got that you will be hooking into some fast laps.
Remember tyres will be on grass on back straight.
