Actually, there's a lot of Snetterton versions floating around, and the one I originally linked is pretty old, so I'll investigate a few different versions tonight.

I was able to download it but getting this Game Crashed error when trying to load ( it loads fine locally ).
Error might have something to do with:

That corner is just evil.

If you look at the ptracker speed trace comparing you and Freezer, it looks like you are losing a heap of time through T1 (I take that in 6th, very nearly flat), and then again through that last sequence of very fast right handers.

Team Maki have got some engineering trick up their sleeves again. They are currently holding laps 1 and 2 on the practice server.

Our new flexible wing is working well :) :)

Interesting to see how I am 0.6 quicker than you Wally, but braking longer into the first few corners, equally Mael is running different lines to me!

alright time to learn how to use ptracker i think :P i have it there but no idea on how to use it.

i find that i can do it flat out but i really have to get the entry correct.  If i get it early (normally) i need to back out... if i get it right its flat stick :)

i was able to see my own stats but couldnt blunder my way through comparing - anytips? or links to tutorials on how to use it? i can only see myself on there

Slight lift at turn in or slight lift just after 1st apex , , the corner opens slighlty after first little apex

You need to go to the thread all time practice server, or directly-

http://52.63.217.129:50041/lapstat?currservers=acserver2

Then click on someone else to compare their lap to yourself

Yeah there is a 33 there for the taking , you'll find another .4 in the first sector i'd reckon , my pb is a 1.34.358 ( but that was offline and no wind and probably about lap number 120 ) was up at one stage close to half a second on the delta after the first sector but blew it in sector two.

Race one was a gift when Joe went off early.  I had a big gap but saw him slowly closing as the race wore down.  I was able
to hold out to the end for a rare win.
Race two however, Joe forgot to go off and proceeded to slowly pull away in front.  I settled in keeping it steady and got
home in 2nd.
Race 3 I was expecting a repeat of R2 however part way in I had a bit of a spin.  From there I probably was trying to hard
and had a few more dumb moments dropping down the field to get home around 7th.
Good track but did require practice.

I was the "Hunted" in 2 of the races, and it felt like it. I was under quite a bit of pressure from Brad, Killa and AGK. I was heading for a 3rd in race 3, but that damn last corner bit me, costing me 3 places as Mael, Rob and Phil passed. Phil was kind enough to have an off a bit later and give one of the spots back  :)

I had a great race with you Wally, side-by-side through turn 1 was a real hold your breath moment. You were really tricky to pass as I had pace around the middle of the lap where you couldn’t pass and you must of had a slightly shorter gear set as you could pull enough of a gap on me down the straights to prevent a pass. Had it not been for an overzealous brake bias change and subsequent rear lock up at the final corner I t could have been a rather interesting finish..tons of fun none the less.

I also had some great battles with AGK and I’m really sorry for how race 3 ended up. After getting a great start I was close to a repeat podium until On lap 4 I think I touched the inside curb at turn 1 and ended up spinning wildly off the track and I’m no sure if I hit him or if he was off track trying to avoid my plane crash....with no front wing I was dead last so I decided to pit and try the mediums. Wow! I should have started all the races with these as they were sensational, I was over a second a lap faster than I’d been all night and I even managed to set my fastest lap on the last lap.....lessons learned for next week

Tough night  :o

Race one forgot to load the correct setup after messing about in quali. That meant race 2 was going to be a back-row start. Which actually went pretty well until Bradc took a nibble out of my rear wing  ::)

Race three everyone except Killa and Joe were kind enough to run off track  ;D

I’m not sure what you’re talking Mael because when I was coming out of the corner your car propped in front of me and I had to take avasive action (hard left over the grass) to avoid you and there was no contact/damage in my car....it was really strange as it almost seems like there was some pc/network lag because from my POV i thought it was a very weird place to be seeing the car in front slamming on their brakes... :o

Well lag might explain it, I was already accelerating out of the corner when I got quite a hard knock from the rear. Thought it was a bit strange.

i got done over hard in race 3.  was in the best position I have been all race then glitched and was stuck up a wall in the corner before the straight.  all good though :) good fun racing last night.

Probably wouldn't apply that logic to all tracks.  I found the mediums very sensitive on the early tracks this season then went hards which were stable.  But yes last night mediums were good!

Don't forget too that the temperature can vary quite a bit. Imola is going to be very cold, for example, which may suit softer compounds.

I think it took me about half an hour to do a valid lap when getting on the server an hour before the race.
It's a difficult track.
Qualy was good and the start of race 1 as well...even had Joe behind me...well, for a short time anyway.
Lost 2 positions due to an incident and then chased Wally...got pretty close, but wasn't able to pass.
Was thinking changing to mediums during race 1 and 2, but wasn't brave enough...they got pretty hot while doing just a few laps before qualy.
Really happy with the results considering the lack of practice.

I'd never raced here before but I liked the track. Seemed to have pretty good pace again.

Silly mistake in race 1 locked up going into the final turn and lost 2 places. Had a small incident with killa which was possibly my fault so sorry if it was. Wasn't going to try and pass but we had a very small contact and he ended up worse off. Chasing Freezer after that who was a fair way ahead. Closed the gap but no time to try and pass which I think would have been hard anyway.

Race 2 and 3 I got a good start and stayed ahead.
