    Would be good if more people were posting theirs up, no matter the lap time - mine will go up thursday as usual probably

    Also I can't believe they havent fixed that pit lane bug properly yet...

    just so we all know, the steam leaderboards for this car/track combo are so far off its not even worth having a look lol. 1:07 is the best time on there, and im already under that.

    and that 1:07 was with a custom tune... the fastest with default tune is like a 1:09...

    Since this track is quite short, I expect the times this week should be fairly tight across the divisions around the low 1:07s with a few in the 1:06s likely by the weekend - should make for good sprint racing!

    yeah indeed. i did a 1:07.2 last night, then got off and played fifa. quite an easy track to race on. flat with no crazy corners or tight spots. should be an enjoyable round.

    are we doing reverse rolling grid for race 2 this week? i havent seen it mentioned.

    Dunno how the reverse grid went in other divisions last season, but it was a struggle in div 3. Maybe this time around we leave the grid in order on the formation lap. So for example, room captain grabs the standings after race 1. Then at the start of race 2, captain calls names from last to first. no one moves until called by room captain. Then form up after that.

    This is a fantastic idea, it was a real mess last season.

    @stucar17, what do you think about implementing this method for the reverse grid?

    Looks like another lonely race at the back of Div 1 if you guys are getting 1:06 to 1:07s. I'm lucky to be cracking into low 1:08s and that's on the ragged limit for me. :confused: Just not feeling this car at all.
