I didn't say it was easy - especially as my best is in the 1:28's, it's
just that I like to drive flowing curves that link together with changes
of gradient and camber. i.e. the Ring:-)

For the Lotus, of course. Low 1'29's with the Honda are incredible laptimes
for me <g> (I've never seen a sub 1:29 with the Honda).

Lucky you! :-)
I can see the ads from lonely GPLers now:
s/w/m enjoys long walks on the track, intimate dinners at a little cafe on
the exit
of the Masta kink, and Sunday drives in the country (at frightening speeds).
Looking for s/w/f with sub-1:30 at Monza and an intimate understanding of
differential settings. I'm a smoker but I'm working on throttle control.

I guess it's one of the only tracks where you don't have to be fully
concentrated every single second and it's quite easy to learn too mostly
because everybody knows the track from modern F1 sims.
Congratulations though - and keep practicing!!

It's easy to see just how inconsistent even the fastest guys are with the
latest version of SpyGirl. When you select a replay, even though you only have
the one replay, you get to see ALL the lap times that were done in that
session.

Practice None
Race 1 1:41.96
2 1:29.88
3 1:29.85
4 1:28.99
5 1:28.86
6 1:28.75
7 1:28.87
8 1:29.02
9 1:30.21
10 1:28.70
11 1:28.55
So running 1:29's and 30's may be ok for most races, but there are many fast
people out there who are also very consistent.

Ah, but that's when they're really going for it and hotlapping. In races
the majority of them are very consistent. See if you can get hold of a
replay of a Champs League race and prepare to pick your jaw up off the
floor :-)

I'm glad someone mentioned the Cooper.
I can manage low 1:29's in the fast cars and easy 1:30's in the
others but no matter how much I try and after endless different
gearing permutations I just cant break 1:31 in the Cooper.
It simply will not go.
