TRD3: Formula Palmer Audi Round 1: Brands Hatch GP

[lugnut_usa]

Thanks Pete. I just saw how slow the times were around eastern creek and thought perhaps it was default.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't put in much practice time in regards to setup since it was just a practice race.

Out of curiosity I checked the Codemasters Hall of Fame, the top laptime at
Eastern Creek for FPA is a 1:06.70. Of course, it's hard to tell if some of the times are legit (I know for a fact some are not, and they were never wiped from the boards even though PC version 1.0 had a major flaw that allowed upgrade parts to cars that didn't normally get them).

I was able to go back today and knock over a second off my previous best just by messing with the gears, so I know more is out there.

These cars really seem to be all about having the proper gearing more than anything. They have so much downforce, grip is rarely an issue.

I have recieved times from Lugnut

[lugnut_usa]

I get 'em in when I can.

Wife was out for a bit today, my almost-two-year-old was napping!

I take the opportunities as they come, because they don't come often

Lugnut's time was very quick, just narrowly missing mine though.

I was on about trying to race when the kids alowed him to. :

Traffic was a pain late in the race.

I honestly think it'll come down to who has the clearest path through it. At one point I caught five cars all in a row, lost a lot of time getting around them.

It was either that or catching them in the last corners (not the big bend leading into the pit straight, but the two before that)

Also, not sure how many of you know about it, but check into the Hall of Fame at codemasters website. Here's the Formula Palmer Audi rankings:

Brands Hatch is the only track I have times for at the moment

When you check the lap records in your time trial list, you'll see a 12 letter checksum, basically you enter that on the site and it'll rank your lap vs. everyone else.

You haven't seen my times yet!

Good to see Lugnut & BobZee in the top 5 on Codies Hall of Fame. Quick times boys!!! I have not had a good chance yet to set the car up properly but I will give it a good go this weekend & try & keep up with you guys. This will be a closely contested series. The new wheel must be working well Mr.Zee!!!!
