I guess your testing this track for league possibility, but id like to suggest using Spa instead as we will likely get that this weekend.  ;)
Yeah, I'm expecting Spa. The only problem is it's a looong lap in the Lotuses. But still, I'm sure everyone will be keen to see it.
The GP2 mod would be nice around Spa? Maybe a fun run in that combo to "blood" Spa....

Perfect combo for a race at spa has to be the Robbins, I wonder if you could go flat through Eau Rogue in one of those bad boys.

GP2's would be interesting though last time I tried it the physics seemed a bit flakey and there are no lod's on the models so a large field will kill some people's computers if not everyones. Could do a street car test or gt's including possibly the ferrari 458 gt2 which is another possiblity this week. Or the old lotus if people want to drive it even though its not a favourite car of mine would be a real challenge at spa for sure.

Not to mention the Lotus T125 or whatever it's called.

Not sure. I haven't been on the AC forums for a while. I'll take whatever we get as a pleasant surprise!

Just on the Final Relase Version...... do we have to re purchase it?  And if so, do we get a discount.  I cant remember how this process worked.

I'm not sure, actually. I would think not.

We won't have to pay anything for the final version.

Pretty confident we'll get the SLS AMG and spa. Reading Stephanos twits

I gather you're referring to Michael Hornbuckle?

Correct. The reply to Michaels twit. And also that AC released the SLS clip on you tube yesterday too.

Do you think I have been hoodwinked by your nemesis?

I've managed to get into the 1:03s but am struggling to get lower. I see Wally in the 1:02s and Bacchulum in the low 1:03s. I am losing time getting onto the power out of the corners and the track feels pretty slippery. Do I play with the Power and Coast settings to help with the power out of corners?
