Oh yeah! Sign me up for one of those bad boys please!

think I have my pedals working - looks like it was a faulty cable - it'll be a proper test tomorrow
Hey Scott, added. Two shorter races as these cars are, ummm...difficult, and the run along the top of the mountain is pretty unforgiving.

Yeah, this is one of my favourite tracks, but I have never quite mastered it and usually end up being over cautious at the start of skyline. I heard someone once say that it's like a rollercoaster ride - two minutes of buildup followed by ten seconds of terror
 
@Redvaliant can you elaborate on the X2 fuel/tyres, will it factor in a short 25 minutes race?
Yes it will be in effect. However, going on past experience it won't have too much impact over a short sprint race. We usually run 45 minute races and it has an impact there, but that also depends on the type of car to some extent.
 
After some practice, I've set the tyre wear to standard, down from X2 as the right-front softs would only last a handful of abusive laps. The hards would go the distance but gave away a fair amount of grip compared with the softs. And, around here, you need all the grip and good fortune you can find.
 
They are tricky to drive with the power and the weight of them, but two short races mean you can usually find a stable pace and get a rhythm going. But no pressure. Next week's cars are much easier to drive.:)
