    I've already done entire practice races at 110%. starting from the back just for fun.

    Ummm... if these extensions are granted, I may ask to resubmit.

    Rushed our race so we could meet the deadline.

    Re DTM's

    I think we need to try & stick to our deadlines like tannat implied - otherwise we will start to get problems. An extension every now & then is OK but its happening every race lately.

    I've requested my fair share of extensions (especially from racer69) in the past. I've really no right to stand in the way of such matters..

    Just expressing a mild twinge of regret.

    I haven't been using the extra time to practice or anything, I just literally haven't been home.

    I agree with peter, but overall I'm not against extensions to loyal participants who have good excuses. plus we usually need the cars anyway.

    let's just all make getting the times in on time a higher priority :thumbsup:

    Sticking to the deadlines is obviously the preferred option, but you run the risk of a lack of entries. For instance at the deadline for this round, there were only 6 sets of times in.

    I'll try and get the times in tonight or tomorrow morning GMT.

    My problem is that I'm working lots of overtime and revising for exams next week. I really need a good 2 and half hours to do the race. (2 hours to perfect the set-up and 30 mins for the race)

    I think I've spent a total of 2 hours on the DTM season thus far.

    What do you do during those 2 hours? Tweak this a smidgen, that a smidgen, etc, etc?

    Pretty much! But I also change the lines I take through corners and try to perfect everyone.
    It's easy on a short track like Brands or Norisring (Hence there my best ones )

    But at places like Bathurst, Spa and Brno it takes a while. (Hence, me not being too hot at these tracks. )
