That makes it WORSE. By the time I get to that turn again, I've forgotten what line I'm *supposed* to take.

Jeez! 196mph in a Ferrari w/o drafting! Not only is this track beautiful in the extreme (I can't run the normal one fast enough on Voodoo 2s, but I did load it and had a good look...=8^0...) and historically accurate, it's a hoot! I'm supposed to be practicing FG at Monte Carlo and here I am going -fast- and grinning. Thank you gentlemen. A noble effort. J. P. Hovercraft Andy Straw wrote:

Wow Eldred - that is truly amazing. Do you claim that you can actually have debree (how do you spell that) flying all the way to belgium. That's gotta be a record. That's like 150 miles. :-) Thomas PS: I know what you mean about totally shattering the car to a subatomic stage.

Are the sandbanks around the Mulsanne Corner (for instance) designed specifically for me to beach my car when I understeer off? ;-) Thanks, guys - it's great to drive the corners I've stood and watched, and to get some idea where the cars go after they vanish under that Dunlop bridge! Never realised Indianapolis was that tight though - and as for Arnage, it's a good thing the road 'straight on' is blocked! ;-) Jonny

Excellent!! Thank you Roland and all your helping friends :-)) I long to drive it tonight... Cyrille Andy Straw <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...

Lost 3mph through the kink, then *just* got back to 201 again before braking for Mulsanne. But, the other half of the course is still important. Maybe it's the driver, but people online last night were getting the Ferrari around the circuit 5 or 6 seconds faster than I was doing in Honda. I hope to try all the cars sooner or later, to see how the fast vs. slow sections balance out. I actually won a race in the Honda last night, but it was admittedly against a considerably less-than-full field. :) Marc

In 4th gear somewhere out on the back of the circuit after the Mulsanne and lost it going through a twisty section and hit a haybale. Spun across track and into the trees. Car then proceeds to spin 'in the trees' end over end until it finally pops out the top of them after about 30 - 40 seconds heading skywards. Comes down, bounces and then back up above tree height for a few more spins until it comes down and rests on the grassy bank. Whole thing took just under a minute and I counted about 190 spins give or take. Decided to record THAT ONE!! :)

Recalibrate your pedals and when calibrating the acellerator, don't push it all the way down. Then it you should be able to get a higher top end. SLG Samuel Senior <[email hidden]> wrote:
