SIGN UP HERE WELCOME TO ROUND 2 POTRERO DE LOS FUNES The Potrero de los Funes Circuit (Circuito de Potrero de los Funes) circuit is an Argentine motorsports race track originally constructed in 1987, and rebuilt in 2008. It is located 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) from San Luis, capital city of the San Luis Province, Argentina. The circuit is semi-permanent, with a length of 6.270 km (3.896 mi). It was created by modifying the ring road that encircles Lake Potrero de los Funes, at the course's center. The circuit has received very high praise from the drivers for its substantial undulations and numerous high speed corners and bends, which provide a great driving challenge. The track's layout has changed slightly from its original layout. It appears that the curve prior to where the pits are now was tightened to create a more pronounced corner ahead of the pits, and perhaps to reduce speeds on the racing line going past the new pit exit. On the opposite side of the lake, where start/finish used to be located, a chicane has been added at the first high speed bend along that stretch. Also, on the initial descending run along the lake, there has been another chicane added to reduce speeds into the following corner that has limited run-off. Therefore, the original course had slightly shorter length of 6.186 km (3.844 mi). Carburando 60 años - Súper TC2000 Potrero de los Funes 2014

Well, that was a race on the edge of disaster for me, and for some over the edge. A lot of humbs and bumps on full speed. On top of that, the rear of the car was very skitich with a low wing setting. The back would just torque out in high-speed corners LOL. Rolling the dice if you kept your foot in it ...! @Robin Taylor only did a few laps in practice with an average time and fooled me into thinking that he was out of contention for this race. Not so! He was bloody super fast in the race and outpacing me. Untill he made a mistake and went sideways. I passed him and he started dropping back, with some trouble, no doubt. Was 3rd in the race due to some more drop-outs. Tire degradation was better than I expected, but I don't practice that much, so I just take it as it comes. Compliments to Lorenzo, Nick and Toni for super fast times. That is just another league lol. Nick should not only start at the back, but also a lap down
Good race all, Congrats to Lorenzo and the podium, Lorenzo, Nick and Toni we're definitely in a league of their own.. Such a hard track and car combo, the braking over the bumps and trying to keep the rear stable, Good fun once you've got the hang of it. Felt pretty good as the race started, managed to build a small gap on @John vd Geest, I told myself to just take it easy but then ended up pushing myself to far trying to get a faster lap each time. Ended up losing the rear, which gave John the place(hopefully I'll give you a better battle next time) had a few more offs, no damage though. Catch ya's at the next one..
