I ran into some problems. This is hard. I usually only ran the Williams cars and FBMW cars. Never a tin top.

But, I did manage a decent time. 1:03.77. Took about 70 laps, and 3 cans of Red Bull, as well as about 2 stops to the restroom. Turn one saw me do everything you could do wrong at that corner. I got on the brakes, lock them up, and slide to the wall, undercut the corner and spin out. Spin out driver a perfect line. Anything that could be done wrong at that corner I did. Rest of the track was not an issue for me. The first hairpin was tough, but only managed a few spins.

I am glad I can race again. This time with a seat, wheel, all on the PC.

I'll be using a controller..cant afford a wheel. Need alot of other more important things!

Hopefully i'll be able to test soon. Might get a chance tonight or tomorow night.

I'd like to suggest 2 ch'ships. Well..3 actually. The main one, where the points are normal. Then divide up in 2 classes, ones with the wheels, and the others with the controllers. So us poor ickle ones on the controllers still have some motivation to compete ;)

Good to see such interest....I think we should help each other in these trials to get a better grip on pro-sim...a big discovery I made was setting the BRAKE/BIAS very much to the front...in time trial I used 20/80..this was the biggest factor in getting me into the 02's..I also used very low DOWNFORCE..50/50....& I found a softer SUSPENSION worked better on this track........I'm starting to really enjoy pro-sim.....I know that Vuko Jnr, BobZee,Hollydog & even Muz are keen to try a pro-sim comp..could be a very competitive series...I think the idea of an "A" & "B" division could be an idea we look into......we will run some more trials until Feb...to maybe help sort out the two divisions..to get an idea of where people are with speed....so get involved in these trials people!

I really like the idea of the Pro-sim competition and the breakdown that real_illusions has suggested, I'd be more prepared to give a firmer commitment knowing that I could compare my times to similarly equipped racers.

With improved setup.

Hey Piotr , can you give us some tips on your set ups in pro-sim....I gave people some of my findings & set ups.....it will make for a better comp...& people will enjoy pro-slm more if they learn to set up their cars better.

You can't get closer than this!!!
Had a go at a race on 110% A.I.......to qualify pole you need a 1.02.38.....to get into the top ten you have to be in the low 04's...the racing was brilliant...far better than normal sim.... very challenging

I ran about 100 laps today and dropped about a half a second.

1:03.33
