    Might do a little but going round in circles is like sitting in a rocking chair. Good fun for a while but doesn't get you anywhere.

    Yes, practice will make your night and every other drivers night a much better experience.
    In the Indy and Motegi 500's some of the guys who did no practice running around other cars had some big wrecks early taking out others with them, making it a unenjoyable night for a few, being multiple laps down by the end.
    So I would suggest some practice is necessary, so as not to ruin other peoples night.:);)
    P.S. This is not a shot at anyone, simply advice, as Sunday Night div placement does not necessarily translate to Speedway racing speed or ability IMHO.
    Cheers, Scotty

    For @Nigel Burley and anyone else gearbox is 5.000 max speed (240 for good corner speed) ( 250 for good top end) 1st 2nd and 3rd all the way left 4th all the way right max speed back to 3.100 you should get 335kph by yourself with 250kph gearbox hope it helps. As for practice you're going to need to do a few laps to learn the bump in turn one so you don't take out someone else

    you need someone with more alcohol in their system to do the wee business by the sounds, either that or adjust the gearbox

    Have removed Damage from the Regs.
    A crash is harsh enough.

    Anyone up for some long distance practice tonight? I'm thinking 50-ish laps. Also some qualifying practice would be nice.
