T1 should cause you the most problems, you might be able to handbrake the left after downhill section and the last corner.

killer curbs on that section over the hill, I wonder how many roll-overs we will get.

I'd say a lot of roll's, and will reset be a cost in time.

I'd say in the 25 lapper, after about 10 laps,it will be hard to do a reset with the racers all over the track.

Might go for another practice.

oh yea that is true about reset on such a short track!!!! yea will have to make sure steala/krayy turns on the reset penalties works really well that, made a big difference to the WS race when we had it turned off.

I don't think we've ever raced this one in reverse.

25 laps will only be about a 15 minute race, so any resets will throw you way down the order. As there are no pits on the track, I'll need to set the resets to give a 30 second penalty for the first reset, then a 45 second penalty if you reset more than twice.

Also, remember that if you do a reset, you'll have the "xx second time penalty" written across the screen in BIG letters for the duration.

Ahh yes, thats true. Knew there was a put area, but never went into it (as time in there would kill any chance of winning).

Yep. You start in that pit area, but it doesn't recognise pit stops or drive throughs, so any resets will need to incur a time penalty only.

33 secs is a quickish time around there, so I would expect us to be close to that, so the 25 lapper would only take 13 or so mins, so 45 secs for 2 car resets is a 1.5 lap penalty which is pretty significant.

True, But in saying that, If you didn't reset (through damage) you would loose more than 1.5 laps, as the car wouldn't handle very well. A 10's per reset would be a go. But also getting clean area for a reset could also fall into play (if the racers are spread out around the track).

yea reset may not even need a penalty here as its getting a gap to reset without that "reset would cause a yellow flag" thing coming up will be a penalty enough i reckon.
