...and I've uploaded Donington to my dropbox in anticipation. 
It's actually pretty well done, pits are working altho a bit weird, and no holes as far as we could tell.
Oh well, hopefully interlagos is decent.

Pretty sure you will like Interlagos, I only did a few laps in it but the surface was very nice not smooth. Looks very good and didnt find any issues, to me one of the best mod tracks in AC. I have it up on one of my servers cant remember which cars but good fun.

Donnington was also good, but in a total package I think interlagos is a .ore solid made track. We could run a race at each maybe?

There is also a good verision I found of Monaco but that would be pretty brutal in the f40.  ;D

Sorry Istvan, I interpreted a posting incorrectly and changed my memory of which track...

will change to Goodwood first... then maybe interlargos.

I'm sorry, Bruce, but you must be operating in scatterbrain mode  :D
Goodwood did not come up,  Donington did.  But leave Interlagos, I'm sure it'll be alright.

And thanks for thinking about me in the first place!

Donnington and Interlagos would be good.  I think we've already done Goodwood haven't we?  From memory I think that track had a ways to go.

I've done some laps of Interlagos in the F40 since I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be drivable around there. Wow, what a car. Brilliant to drive once you get the hang of it. I'm not fast but it is fun. Never got higher than 4th and mostly in 1st through the back part of the circuit.

Can people post some hotlaps on Friend's Leaderboard so I can tell how far behind I'll be? Thanks...

Are we doing the standard F40 or the S3?

I recommend the S3 for maximum fun mode.  The standard one feels pretty tame in comparison.

I just tried the 'grass' version of Interlagos, not good at all. :(
Massive slow downs, all while giving 100fps.
Only 10 AI and none of them could leave the pits, they just bashed into each other.
About to try 'no grass'.

[edit]
'No grass' is even worse.
The slow downs caused my outlap to be 5mins long!!! :o :( :(

I was able to get on top of the standard F40. Still VERY easy to spin out though. Haven't tried the S3 yet. If more difficult then wouldn't really suit the spirit of Thursday fun runs.

I was leaning towards the stock one, but it seems many people prefer the S3, so let's do that.  It's a bit more racecar-like, a bit easier to drive, too, I reckon.
