Ok, I have added some more rules, please see the first post.

You must now post the REPLAY of your entire 8 laps.

Please state which lap you were fastest, to make it easier for me when I view the replay.

Do the eight laps count the out-lap. Are we taking the fastest lap or the total time? Why again do we need to do eight laps? :huh:

Well, it was originally going to be 5 laps, but Crystal Palace is such a short circuit...

The whole idea is to put 11 laps worth of fuel in your car, pass the start finish line at speed 8 times and your fastest lap counts.

I said 8 laps to make it fair for people who don't have time to sit there doing 100 laps.

There is progress... 54.32 ... lol :haha:

I starting to learn the car a bit more. For me the progress is still in finding solutions in the setup to get the car more stable while braking. I need a car that is very easy to drive.

For years i drove the Ferrari and the Cooper. I never drove the Brabham and the Lotus. I don't like both cars. So that will be a difficult situation too when we start with those cars.

I'm quite happy with 51.58. 7th lap quickest.

Hmm, there was one invalid lap though among the 8. Do I have to run again?

Remember, I will only count the first 8 laps :thumbsup: I saw you made a big mistake going into Park Curve and that lost you several seconds. Without that mistake, I think you could have been within 1.5-2 seconds of Jacob's time :thumbsup:
