Right, track for this week is Motorland in a RUF (Posrche to the rest of us!) RGT '00, usually rules maximum power and minimum weight, one stipulation no cutting the s bend towards the end of the track,

I quite fancied a short quick course, any slight mistake will write off a lap which you could make up on a longer track,

I would have thought any times around 42-43 Seconds would have a good chance of winning

Good luck to everyone!

tricky track, quite technical in the approach needed.

Had a go last night while pretty hammered and got 43.1 after 67 laps lol, the majority were over 50 seconds, as I said I was a bit worse for wear.

had another wee go there for a few laps and got 42.860, agree on a 42 second time winning it then lol, if anyone gets into the 41's I would reckon they'll have tied up the win, the tracks that short though that even taking 0.1/0.2 off takes a good bit more speed.


EDIT - 42.485

Getting close best time so far 42.499, I do think there is a bit more time in there, the tight left hand turn before the s bend I have found is the difficult one, the rest I have pretty much mastered, I dont think anyone will get into the 41's

Got a day off tomorrow which is unheard off so may have to spend a good few hours getting some laps in
