My best 1st lap so far has been 4.5 secs.. What I do is a delay my start slightly in order to cut inside the pack in turn one.. and I am leading by the end of the 1st lap.

Its a bit silly that the track is driven like this really.. If you were eagle eyed you will see that I made ome comments on the main page asking for a track sections with walls This would force on track racing and be better suited to the tight sections such as this.
I full understand, and that is what i do... but i cant help getting to confident on the last couple of laps and getting a penalty. And yes a track section with barriers will be fantastic... but if the developers can be bothered.

Try not to go that wide then.. Try do most of your turning just before you come off the grass.. That way you get a bit of straightline speed to the next corner..

Quite close indeed.. Strange that you have the lead even thouhg Koper did the time 1st. To make it easier I'll take the results as they display on the game.

Hmmm seems I'll have to do an all nighter again :P 1:05 is going to be the winning time isnt it...

Yes, and i would have thought that as he has the fastest lap time he would be on top for that. Unless it goes into thousands but does not display it maybe? You could just give us both 10 points :P I am getting better just need to do the same laps in a race i mean i can do 2.978 most laps but it gets to say lap 13 and i go in to early and then get a penalty. Or if i slow down near the end then thats it its over.

I was going to ask i am going on holiday on saturday so i will probably miss a round, could be get the next track mid week? if thats ok with you.

The track you're racing on currently, it is an oval right?What's the name of the creator of this track? My sis created 3 or 4 oval tracks as revenge for something I did to her newest track. They're called TW 1, 2, 3, or along those lines.

I didnt know I had an aussie brother

As for the request to realease the next track early.. People are going to miss races... look at it as a gearbox failure if you miss one. Although unless someone wants to do the honours I will only be able to sort the results on the Monday! So you might have time to race yet

The results for race three will actually be delayed until 7pm on Saturday!

yeah - that's fishy
I thin there is an error as When I played yesterday afternoon theBullet was 1st and in the bracked for the fastest race time was his name.
I played later and that time my name was in the bracked for the fastest race time :/ ....but I think I found a soultion for that - hope this time nobody kmatches my time - I prefer to be beaten rather than to have same time and remain 2nd :P

Personally, I have feeling that we will even go under 1:04
