Surely we could pick a nicer car?

[Rob P]

360CS?

Good all rounder, with a fantastic sound?

[slinky]

ok ok.... 360 CS..

I'll have a shot tonight and see what I can do..

Racing cold, 2 lap time counts..

No racing for laps and laps and laps to shave off the odd 10th, be honest please folks!

Touched barrier on first lap
I think the difficult corner is the first long hairpin, makes a big difference to your time...

Incidently, who has xbox live?

V. true, do you throw the car in and powerslide through 3rd out of the corner or go deep and wide and try to cut back to a late apex... tricky, very tricky..

I'm live'd up, but haven't been on for a while (not since picking up longbeach and paris anyway!!)

I think we'll go for best total time, but include both laps for interest...

How's that?

Usually brake late, hit the first apex (armco on the left as you aproach the bend) then stay on the brakes until I can accelerate right out to the far right armco on the exit. I find if I launch it in and slide i come out of the corner too slow...

For sure,

There is probably enough of us to host a good race at least once a week

[peterpeter]

I am up for it too.

Not played it for a while though.

Never mind, the max we can have is 8 anyway

[viper_larry]

How about on Monday evening, say 8pm? How would we actually do this? I guess someone would be nominated to host and tell us their online name. We could then search for a game from that user? Not done it like that before so not sure. Will have to set us all up as friends and then reserve all the slots for friends?
