Are some drivers finding dry patches?!    Some very quick times.

I can remember Steve Parker destroying us all in his Ferrari at Spa (in a different 1965 league)  

I'm actually surprised by how much grip there is. Still, this will be a really fun challenge with the spray obscuring the view in traffic.

I have one of Steve's quicker laps on replay - no dry patches, especially underneath his accelerator pedal which rarely came off the firewall   

seulement à 90% sûr

[edit] waouw, avec piste humide!!  
==> 92%

I have, and as punishment for all his talking throughout, I made him watch "Driven"   

étant à 2.5 de mon coequipier(pour l'instant)sur un circuit 2 fois plus long que d'habitude ,je serai à moins de 1.5 sur une longueur normal soit mieux qu'à la normal (+2.0)
je ne pense pas qu'il y ai des gars avec un dry patch
en revanche vu le temps passé à fond de pédale(droite) la moindre difference de moteur fait la difference de chrono
d'ailleurs sur les 5 voitures de pointes présentes(puissance moteur)la hierarchie semble respectée

Do so now. The determination of who gets to race is based on practice hot laps I think.

I saw Rush this week and felt insulted. :DLots of exagerations and clichés, way too many racing scenes at Cadwell and Brands Hatch, I hate how they show racing without actually showing it, it's only very shorts scenes with funny onboard angles and a few overtakes. The part with Lauda making the BRM 2s faster in one night is hilarious.   
At least Driven wasn't trying to tell a real story.

Driven is best watched on reel to reel old style film. After watching the file it is spectacularly satisfying to burn the roll of film in a bonfire of retribution. Man that show sucked donkey appendages.

Present

Présent !

Present.

Present...well, that is the plan....About to dl track now (have been busy away from home longer than I anticipated....sorry) From reading through this thread, I predict that the instalation of this track is going to expose my ability in avoiding complications.....Will report back with verification of success, or otherwise.

Edit:- I appear to have underestimated my technical capabilities, though I am sure there is more to it than that...Now to over estimate my driving capabailties.
