LK i tried posting a news item about the race but it says my post needs checking before it shows up.

tarnations, i was sooooooo annoyed last night. my tiscali connection totally bombed on me after about 3 laps - couldn't even log back onto vroc requiring a reboot to sort things out 
gutting when you spend a couple of hours of your weekend preparing/racing only to get disconnected 
once again i make a complete mess of the start having no idea where the braking zone is from a grid start - fortunately there was a run off zone so i didn't mess up anyone else's race (for a change
). stuck me in the middle of carnage for the next 2 laps around the circuit tho
can someone post linkage to wr replay for bathurst? and what is the time? sub 2mins is possible with a bit more work i think but i don't know whether to bother if the wr is like 1:57!

I believe the WR is about a high 1.57.
but i dont have a replay of it, just going on what gplrank says.
The sart was a bit of a laugh SJ, cos we were neck and neck all the way to the corner, but i hit the right braking point and you carried on going. (i did actually find out where the braking point was for T1)

I'll put it here as i really cant be bothered waiting for the forums to load......
Zuma i think you should just go with whatever oval, its not a huge problem what ever track we use IMO. there all the same shape.

just make sure it's not an oval that you need to do some amount of braking/slowing down on otherwise it will get extremely dull.

the probability points to yes
but i dont remeber, slept since then

Ok then the oval track will be texas, which doesn't necessarily involve braking or changing gears, but will nevertheless require 100% driver involvement for the whole lap cos it has a very tricky driver line.
hang on, just reread your posts and i'm not sure if you want an easy oval or a hard oval.
are you saying you liked Talladega?

i'd prefer a harder one just to keep up concentration and require a bit of praccy otherwise it will just be a lottery.

Texas it is then.
You will certainly need some praccy and also have to do a special setup for it i reckon.
anyone who wants to try it can visit the league forum and there is a link to the track in the ovals thread.

Don't forget we have our first special race of the summer season this sunday.
An F2 race at Monza.
This would be a good race for any noobs to join the season for cos its dead simple and in the F2 cars almost impossible to crash (famous last words )

Please note Zuma, If the race involves me doing laps of a track, then its not a qustion of if I crash its merely when WILL I crash?
Should be a good race, i havent had any F2 practice at all so I should really have a go, am I right in thinking its F2 any car, we dont have to use or F1 race car?
