Cheers.

Enjoy the show Tom!

Hi guys,

i had an awesome practice session with Shaggy last night. My son and wife are out of house till tuesday next week, so I will be online more often. Is there anybody online today evening for practice? from 7 p.m. uk time i will be online.

Best regards

i had some great practice last night as well with these random brits. They were fast and were pulling out sub 1.13 quali laps and I was able to hold my own.

My fastest quali lap is a 1:12.9 which I did out of the blue last week. I got to within .2s of it last night but was losing .5s in the first sector alone to the pole sitters (I was quicker for the rest of the lap) so I'm hoping I can figure out what I'm doing wrong in the sector and get into the mid 1:12's perhaps. That would be awesome.

Was a nice practice with you Dark as always - fair and intense racing. Our practice tonight was shortlived and you had a lot of traffic to deal with, but I think I might have finally figured out that final chicane. I sorted out the set-up issues I had last night too and definitely found a better rhythm round the track. Still hard to get the final chicane right every time though, don't think i'll ever be 100% happy with it.

Pretty sure I was in that session with you, some guy purposely rammed me into the wall though :(

Ask some champions about that wall ;)
 
Finally saw Senna today, amazing film probably the greatest cinema experience ever
 
Well Tom, you like?

Yes, Yes and Yes! One word...Amazing, seriously the best film I have ever seen, it's just immense, I don't want to spoil it for you so i'll leave you to experience the magic! :)

Tom sums it up perfectly. Very touching film as well I might add, gets rather sad

I agree, the drivers briefings are quite funny though! :lol:
 
Shame its not a true depiction of Senna though - anyone who wants to know why see my posts in the thread in the Motorsport forum (to avoid this going badly off topic).

I've yet to get near 1'12s at Montreal, my best laps in qualifying online have been 1'13s and thats a really good lap for me. The best I do straight out of the pits is a 1'14 I can do easily every time. Its finding the few tenths everywhere to nail the lap to get 1'13. I could see how a 1'12 is possible but I don't think I'll ever nail the consistencey required out of the final chicane to do it. I generally get good speed through there, but its never the same, sometimes I'll hit the kerbs too much and scrub speed bouncing about and sometimes I nail it and scrub speed on the exit with slight corrections or slides. When I do nail that chicane, I always do it either after a poor lap or on an out lap. Its always where I lose time I feel, I know what the best line is, I just can't seem to find a reliable turn-in point for it, as its difficult to spot the apex until you are directly on top of the kerbs.

If we get a wet race it will get pretty interesting.

The best laps i'm pumping in are in the 1:15's, and i'm hoping for a wet/dry race on Sunday, as the unpredictability will be fantastic! :)
 
Just finished another practice from Dark. He genuinely found some more time, whereas I just drove a bit harder. Boy is he fast through that final chicane, I really can't understand how people carry so much speed through there, it just shouldn't be possible! :grumpy: :indiff:
