The long version isn't hard to learn, but a lap is 4 min+, which might be a bit long. Maybe an intermediate layout would be better.
I have done some laps on the intermediate version, 8km long, lap times will be about 2.35 to to 2.40 and I think perfect for all cars with only small ballast to even things up. I also drove the F40 on street tyres , I think this will be a good track to finish on and may even change some peoples minds about the F40  ;D

@phil.8 and @wally is this parameter that has been added in 1.12.1 what is causing us to sit in pits between sessions?

- Added IGNORE_RESULT_TELEPORT in system/cfg/options.ini to avoid teleport to pit at the end of each online session

No, I'm pretty sure it's the RESULT_SCREEN_TIME setting to let you see the results at the end of a session. It defaults to 60 seconds.


Although that new setting may let you keep driving during those 60 seconds. But bear in mind that it's a client side setting, not a server side setting.

There was a 31MB update overnight.
I now get a Checksum failure.
Looks like the server needs updating. ;)

The GT40 is a great wild ride around here, but it's pretty easy to slide out into the rails and get bounced into the track. Will have to be careful.

I have enjoyed the couple of laps done here so far, not sure on others' timing, but I have 10 seconds to find if I want to see Bacch!

Sorry Bruce. :'(
Yet another 3 seconds there. ;)
But remember, the timing line is in the braking zone for T1, so crash after your hotlap. ;)


I wouldn't mind doing the long version, Cabhag Straight is awesome with the jumps! 8)
More exciting than Dottinger.
(but at least you can have a beer during Dottinger, no chance on Cabhag)
And 4th through Pikes Creag is satisfying. 8)

Whinge Alert!
(I also know this is a 'fast track' for me...)
but I sure having trouble seeing all turns with the current daytime settings.  I do like traveling through the fantastic light/shadow changes, but with the reflection on the virtual screen and light/shadow I am haveing heeeeeaps of trouble seeing turn ins.

I had a run around here last night and for a fantasy track it's rather nice, good elevation changes and lots of bumps to throw you into the weeds if you try to drive arcade style.  Could be a real challenge to last the 40 minutes if damage was on.
