Well, I guess we should start talking about laptimes and setups, huh? ;D Anyway, I lapped a low 1m13 the other day... don't know what sort of times I must aim at.

Ouch, that seems pretty good to me actually. I haven't had chance to sit down and actually practice, but I think I did a low 1:14.xxx last weekend. My setup is practialy done though...What does everyone think about this track btw??

Its under rated by most people. I think its an excellent track, but its real easy to lose time. I've found that i can get a sector half a second quicker then normal and then the next lap round i am half a second slower. Very strange its all about corner speed.

I find this track very interesting! There are a couple of corners that require downforce, but the low speed corners are so slow that reducing my downforce hasn't seemed to hamper my times at all. I was in the high 1:15.xx last time I ran this track, in 2004 and right now I'm in the low 1:15.xx. I know there is more speed to be had and I'm still perfecting my setup! Since I have very little experience with this track, as I run it more and more, I'm finding places where I've been running in too low a gear and so I have been compensating for that.
I find it very easy to lose it on this track if you don't stay on the race line. This track demands your attention!

I think it's a great track myself. From the little test I did I enjoyed a lot the layout. Audi F1 will definately look into having it as a test spot

Yeah, a test track with a layout made by me would be very interesting Maybe I'll take a look into doing that later For now, Audi F1 will remain testing in Hockenheim

Although I can't really see the purpose of a test track now that the test sessions are gone, Arrows's track will be Spa for sure. ;D

Just to add to the game I have been thinking of bring the test sessions back though...I'm still working a system for us to discuss...I'm not planning on using money or anything like that though. We'll see. It's just that although having equal BHPs is interesting, we could add a diferent level next year with diferent BHPs again since me and saturday are trying to ensure that BHP would be the only way to have different performances. I'll post a thread in the rules forum for us to discuss...

I'm just letting people know that I've only received Brian Glanville's laps so far. If you've sent your laps to Viper, then I'll just get them from him, otherwise, make sure that one of us gets them before the end of today.
