Just had a look at your laps around Wakefield Regie. You had some fun. 8)

I'm not blowing my own trumpet but if you'd like to take off a few seconds per lap I can give you a few pointers.

1. Don't grab second gear for Turn 2. That's why you got crossed up. Go through at 80kph in third gear on road tyres.
2. Don't back off for Turn 3, take it flat out.
3. Never lift of the throttle mid corner like you did in Turn 4, that caused the spin and will in Turn 3 if you lift off.
4. From the apex of Turn 5 to the Fish hook keep your foot flat on the accellerator.
5. Hit the apexes every time, feed the throttle on smoothly from the apexes if its a tight corner.
6. At Turn 10 don't commence your turn in to the apex until the bitumen turns for the corner. Leave it as late as you can and that way you get a faster exit under full power without running out of track on the exit.
7. Remember every time you turn the steering wheel the car slows down, so be smooth and don't jerk the wheel around.

There you go, enough tips for the day. :roll:

moo moo nel, that's one powerful car you have there. Very impressive. 8)

Shoulda just followed my lines when you were right behind me. Of course that's easier said than done.

CBs got the right idea though. I'm still backing off before I hit turn 3, and it basically slows me down for that entire combo before I start coming down hill. No doubt I could grab a bit of time there if I actually hit turn 3 flat out instead of backing off.
