Presto GP - Pacific Series (RACE 07)

[Brendan Crosby]

I'm in the low 1m27's at the moment

 

[Chris Hendrich]

didnt we do 1.25s there? before the season?

 

[Mark Brunner]

Ok, I said I was not going to be at last race but put me down as a maybe as I may be around that weekend even if I have an autocross event on the 6th. 50% chance... Nurburg, I cannot say no sometimes.

 

[Steve Crossland]

Better make sure you have the right version then...

 

[Peter Marshall]

We? 1.25s

 

[Steve Crossland]

Well after last night I have a new PB of 1m28.7 but still a little more to come.
I would not be surprised to see 1m27's or even high 26's but I would be very very surprised and shocked to see if anyone can pull out a 25.

'Tis a great track however and I think it has taken me 4 seasons to figure out how some of these settings actually affect the car's overall handling. Slow learner huh???

Anyway, please be aware that the final chicane must not be cut. Normal rules apply & this will be a main checkpoint for me after Qual & Race sessions next weekend.

Hi Guys,

I've been thinking about some fun races for us in between this season & the next & I am open to suggestions.

Personally I would like to see the following races held but cast your preferences. I'm not sure how many we'll squeeze in at this point but we'll see what we can do. For now, options are a good start.

Phillip Island Enduro - V8 Supercars
Macau & Donington - F3 (possibly 15 lappers back to back with compulsory pitstop)
Spa Francorchamps - Porsche or DTM
F1 - Anderstorp (how about Brands hatch??? wouldn't that be crazy!!!)


Gimme your suggestions...:wink:

 

[Bob Luneski]

The DTM mod can be fun to drive. So will the F1's @ Monaco be scheduled as like 15 3 lap races?? Wouldn't expect the field to last more than that. :roflol:

 

[Steve Crossland]

Haha bob...

Well I feel a little cheated that we didn't do monaco this season because we've done it with the F3000 and despite the high attrition it was still a load of fun.
Could perhaps do it with reduced damage to give all a fighting chance at finishing in one piece.

DTM is a great suggestion and one I totally overlooked and wWould beat mini's hands down. I'd like to drive the DTM's around Suzuka I think.:wink:

 

[Jim Hawley]

I'll stay up late to race f3k at Donnington with you

if you could squeeze in a Porsche SC event I'll join you for that too

Jim

 

[Peter Marshall]

1999 Hockenheim with F1's
Macau F3000

 

[Steve Crossland]

Rightly so Peter, this was one we discussed the other night.
F3000 at Macau would be great fun. Perhaps instead of Monaco

 

[Tim Petersen]

f-1's @ Anderstorp would be fun or minis @ indy maybe?

 

[Steve Crossland]

f-1's @ Anderstorp would be fun or minis @ indy maybe?

Yeah most people wouldn't believe how much fun we had with the mini's at Indy earlier this year. The racing was super close & hard to break away.

 

[Chris Hendrich]

My PB with 90 litres, medium tyres and radiator at 3 is 1.29.6

 

[Chris Hendrich]

also the outside after turn 4 should not get cut.

 

[David Noden]

yeah any of those suggestions sound great!!!

what sort of time do we have between seasons?

 

[Joe Isaac]

Thank you steve for your idea, if the race is not on the weekend than I will join, you know we work on the weekends. hey Steve, V8 supercars belongs to buthurst don't upset the Aussies.

 

[Brendan Crosby]

monaco would be fun to do in a two 15 lap sprint format.
Macau in f3's sounds like it could be fun
V8 supercars at bathurst would be amazing but I'm not sure that track is even available

If we're really looking for a challenge maybe f3's at Pau would be an option? maybe that would be too much carnage... idk

F1 Nordschleife !
