With the Lippo being a "street curcuit" and many non-elestic objects I have changed the night to:

Round 2 May 21, Lippo Village (Street)
  • Race 1 - Sprint 5 Laps (~10 Mins)
  • Race 2 - 12 Laps

So if there are tears in the first sprint the night is not lost :)  Sound good? or any other ideas for race lengths?

Sounds good. AC has officially taken over my life doing the Tuesday and Thursday races because I never know the tracks and spend a few nights before hand learning them  :o

Can you please put marty down as a regular driver?
I can only beat those who don't show up for 1/2 the season

I think there is some grid limit for the tracks chosen for the season, other Thursday seasons this never was an issue but seems a bit more of an interest in this season. Id like to be added if there are enough grid spots as a reserve and so Dick may get ahead of me simply by him participating more then I can. Id really like to run this season but most Thursday nites I can make and then even though I could have last week I had an issue of not being in the grid and also breaking my g27 the nite before.

Lippo Street circuit has 29 pit boxes... so the reserve/s will be able to run this round.

It isn't an Alfa  :-\ but...

The last 2 turns here remind me a lot of the last two turns at Albert Park.

Just did a few laps here. Pretty fun track. Think I'm getting the hang of this car a bit more. Seems it's more about throwing it into the corners a bit quicker than I was in the last race then throttle control.

I had been attempting to drive smoothly and imitate the faster drivers, but on my last lap, threw it around and dropped 1 sec + on my PB, so we should see some controlled sldes, and drifts!

For sure, that's what I did in the last race; slow and controlled. Did that for a few laps yesterday, then started drifting it a bit more and managed to get into the 1:50s

May be best to not ask Dick for driving advice or track descriptions.  ;D
