Would be awful nice if you chaps could wait for us Europeans to get hold of
N2003 before you start racing...

Now, unofficial practice races on the other hand,  is something completely
different :-)

I'm for that. I'd like the first race at Daytona to be a full one instead of
a throw away.

This was the server side fixed Atl setup (Fast?).  All in the race bailed
because no one could turn more than a couple laps without spinning out in
both t1-2 and t3-4.  I did try to reduce the lock but it didnt help.  I use
the momo racing btw.  I wonder if the admin changed to default setups?  I
havent tried offline yet but will when I get home.

No trouble with Atlanta at all actually. He probably did have the default
setup loaded, whatever that is.

I just ran a few laps with both the fast and jasper setups, and the best
with each were 29.4's. I uploaded the replays here
http://www.racesimcentral.net/;if you want to take a look. Car holds
the line nice and tight with both.

I tried the easy setup, and didn't have any trouble with that either. I'm
using the Ferrari ff wheel.
