Is anyone participating in the contest put together by Microprose/Holobyte where the
object is to post the fastest lap (in practise)... in Italy??? I don't want to know
you're setup,(unless of course you're willing to divulge it) but what kind of times
should I be looking at? My best so far is 1:27.033. Does this suck or... You see,
I have nothing to compare it with. Maybe it's ok. After all I'm on "A" compound!

Racecar spelled backwards spells "Racecar" !!!

Keep the *** side down.

I meant to post this last night, but it failed to post. So here it is
tonight.

Not to pop your bubble, but I'm sure someone is faster than me and I'm
turning 1m23.365 so far. Still tweaking the setup.

That's steering and opposite lock help ON, all others off using a
joystick in VGA mode at about 25fps.

Ok, so the helps are on for a reason. I am still getting traction help
OFF down before I add other realisms. Besides, if I even touch the
throttle with the steering helps off it's 180 time!! I can do just fine
with the steering helps on.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that was last night. I did some tweaking and have managed a 1m22.3s
lap. That's in Qualifying though, so it wouldn't count.

BTW, there IS about a 1mph difference in top speed between Practice and
Qualifying.

I will upload the replay to the sim binaries group.

Take my word, you will [unfortunately :-(] need a lap better than 1:20.7 to
win it... No, I didn't run this lap, but someone else did...

The winner will most likely have a time at 1:21.xxx. My best is currently 1:22.541.

The winner will definitely be under 1:21.

You'd have to be looking at the 1:23's to have any chance. I don't know if
anyone has managed a sub 23s lap. Anyone?

Bye..... Russellm.

1:21!! D'oh. Looks like I have some work to do between now and the 31st. Got
to knock that last 2 seconds off my time.

Bye..... Russellm.
