You have a particular "style" on that corner, as we have run the track with the Cobras, and no one "found" that hole! Not sure what to do here, any "one person" falling in it would be disappointment... can you look at our "Style" Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

They caused a few multi-car accidents. I would prefer not to have them there, even if people can cut more. At least the racing would stay closer.

I hit the wall at the bottom of the Hill side on a couple of times, and went wide into the town but crept through the obstacles backonto the track. Anyone who has ever played some more arcade style games like Flatout and need for speed knows that Tyres, signs, etc are all able to be knocked out of the way, why in serious simsthese things are completely immovable I have no idea.Aside from that I had a good night, with 2nd being my best finish in any Sim racing for a long time.Looking forward to next week.

We certainly didn’t have these problems when we ran it last time, my apologies, lack of “due diligence” on my part Not the most auspicious introduction to us for slideways. I noted you had some pretty good early laps in there slideways.Hooked up on the gate post at Tannery Corner and then it was… “Back to the pits for you!”Happy with the mix of cars, although my lap times were down, it was great to reel in the RS cars at the end of the straights and felt like there was a chance!Well onto Interlargos, which will change the whole formula, testing our tyres a lot more.I am assuming you have selected your car because you like it and are sticking to it, “for better or for worse” for the rest of the season?As sheep stations aren't involved, I think I would like to leave the season as it is.

Must say the Sierra is an absolute pig at Interlagos. I'd be quicker in a shopping trolley..
