    Any extra points for clearing the cones at the side of the track? I am getting rather handy at that. :rolleyes:

    5 apple pie points for cleaning the cones at the side of the track.

    But you have to come get them at my house:

    Count yourself lucky I'm averaging high 1:22's.
    I think there's no problem with using the softs. Did a 40 minute run and only the front left had gone in yellow so personally I think they should last the distance but of course I was running slower lap times. The big question is will I last the distance? :)

    These things are like Rollercoasters.....

    I am strapped in, hanging on, screaming at every corner, and have zero control of what is happening.

    Great fun :D

    As promised above here is my current setup.
    My fastest lap is a 1:20.5 and I'm probably averaging high 1:20's low 1:21's with it. It seems stable enough and I can now take T1 and T2 flat in 6th. Downforce is set slightly higher to give bit more stability and the rear anti roll slightly stiffer. I like the back to slide a little on corner turn in, helps cut down on understeer. Front left tyre temperature still spikes but on a 40 minute run it was in the yellow with good tread, rest of the tyres still green. I think it will last the hour. Only done high fuel runs so far with a starting fuel of 90 litres. I haven't worked out the race fuel load yet.
    Hope this helps but I'm no expert here. I go with the trial and error approach to setup as I only have a little understanding of what everything does.    ​

    There are 6 red lights for this event. It would be great to have a full grid, so please unregister in time if you know you can't make it, so a few red lights get a chance to race.

    Once I'm in practise, I don't go back. I can't Alt-Tab or the game crashes.
    I suggest to do your practice and then watch the signup list for the last 30 minutes before qual.
    Would be sad if a few would no-show without unregistering. But they go straight out of the series. All the other events are with 30 signups.

    No, the password has changed to race server password. Red lights can't see it. You can see it when you're green.

    I downloaded the skin pack for this mod. Can I use one of the M23 Shadow skins?

    The shadow is not available for this series, sorry :). Those skins don't go together esthetically.
