Oh, I feel for you, I really do! I was stuck in the 9:0x bracket for a
while too. Eventually, I gave up with the Lotus and switched to the
Ferrari. Result - 8:58!

Eldred, my man, you are starting to kick butt! How long ago was it
you couldn't get under 11 minutes? The answer you seek is hidden in
your question. Slow it down just a little and eliminate those spins,
get smooth, maximize your speed on the fast bits, and as you've
learned, MORE LAPS.

Well, I said "starting" ;-)
It's not that much different for me in the league I'm in. It's been infiltrated
by aliens(their everywhere). I have little hope of a podium finish much less a
win. But that's ok, just like in real life, a few guys do most of the winning.
There's good racing at the back of the pack, and as long as I'm racing someone,
and I feel I'm driving well, then it's fun, and the posistion doesn't matter
much.

At this rate you'll be asking how to get below 8:30 in a few weeks.

Yes, I do believe I can go under 9 minutes. I just have to keep from screwing
up... 8:30? That I'm not so sure of(yet).
I'll let you know in another 50 laps... :)

Hehe...I'm not even THAT good. In my league races, and my other VROC races, I
usually end up running around by myself. I see other cars only when the
leaders come up to lap me. I can count the number of times when I was actually
RACING someone on one hand... :(

Lotus
Eagle
Ferrari
Brabham
Coventry/Cooper
Murasama/Honda
BRM
Each driver is then allowed to start the season in their favourite
chassis but, depending on the race results, the car they have to drive
next time around will change in the following way.
1st or 2nd - drop 3 marques
3rd or 4th - drop 2 marques
5th or 6th - drop 1 marque
Outside the top 6 then move up a marque
So, if I were to finish in the top 6 in the Lotus then in the next race
I would drive either the Eagle, Ferrari or Brabham. Let's say I
finished 3rd so that in the next race I am in the Ferrari for the 2nd
race. If I now finish 3rd again in this race then I would drop 2
further marques down to the Coventry/Cooper. If, however I finished
outside the top 6 in the 2nd race then I would move back up 1 marque to
the Eagle. Get the idea?
Perhaps, in this way, there could be league races where everyone could
be competitive. It would take more paperwork, but perhaps it could
work?
