Given that there are only a few posted times I reckon XGN could end up with all the top 10 spots if we each go and spin some laps!1:38s is the time to beat.......

I think it leads to revisiting the 289... and just run the S/C 427Edited. « Last Edit: August 12, 2014, 11:06:56 AM by Lemmy Caution » Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

I recommend people do some serious practice before jumping into them.I've put a setup in my dropbox. You can lower the tyre pressures - especially the rears - to make it a bit more stable in the long fast corners but won't turn as well in the slower ones.

I know I'm incapable of doing 20 laps one after the other at this stage, in any car. Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"

I know I'm incapable of doing 20 laps one after the other at this stage, in any car. Pleased to hear you are looking forward to the Cobra, me too!I understand Dick, I know it is getting close, but I am using the excuse of restricted time but I will be reviewing which car we use, the S/C 427 may be more drivable than the early and the kit car. I also need to do the required laps and make sure that it is practical for these races... Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."
