Fark me I hate that 312T.  I just can't keep it on the road, snappy, too much power...and understeer into the corner.  Plus the stupid wings.  I hate it.
It'll be a challenge, that's for sure. What a pity AC doesn't have rain yet.
Oh yeah!
312T+Nordschleiffe+rain= ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8)

Hopefully one day.....

Really? I love it.  You can wrestle it around... just be sure to change gears in a straight line!  Coming out of the second chicane at Monza always gets me.  Actually the curbs at Monza are a real bugger, always seem to be spinning on them compared to other tracks.

Managed to throw down a high 1:32 in the Lotus. I'm not very consistent though. 1st time I've really had a good go in the old Lotus or the 312T.
Didn't fair as well in the 312T. 1:54.5 Straight out of the box, no adjustments what so ever....
Not that it would help my lead foot and over aggressive steering.

Will be intersting to see the pace, Im not huge on the old monza combo had a little play the other day only a handful of laps can get mid 29's but it just feels off. Probably find some time lime last week as I found about a second from my practice laps.

The 312T I havent driven at Monza yet so will try get some laps in after work but Im thinking mid pack for me this time on both probably. 312T is fun just Monza has always been a bit broing for me so I dont run there much in Anything but can be fun in a race much more then hotlapping. Also no drafting will make it strange and I can imagine the first chicane being messy all race.

Yep, we will have to be very gentle at the first chicane. Don't want to see half the field taken out on the first corner in true Monza style.

Let's make the race last longer than T1!!!

If it's a full grid it's going to be chaos for the whole race I think! But I think it will be a lot of laughs. There is no sheep stations at risk so absolutely no reason to take it too serious these early days.

True, but by the same token, tonight is still good practice for league behaviour. First thought into T1 should be "Cause no carnage".

I'll show up and see how we go, but if I have audio issues I'll have to miss it.

Some practical advice to anyone back in the field at the starts - brake early but less!  If you get me.

Don't worry, I'll be doing my best to keep out of the way.. If I look like i'm, out of control, i'll be blaming Guybrush :) it's his set-ups..

We'll be trying a bigger server tonight, so it will be interesting to see if it's a server capacity issue.
