Hmmm. What's a good lap at Solitude these days? I'm at 3:51, and still feel lots of room for improvement. Anyone down into 3:30's or 3:20's yet? Michael

Anyone down into 3:30's or 3:20's yet? Well I'm down to a 3:37, but others have been much faster. I was in an online race last night, and the track's creator, Martijn, won the race in an Eagle and had a fastest lap of about 3:30. (He must have had a lot of practice!) I think the WR is about 3:23 by the awesome Greger Huttu. I know I can go faster, but the section with all the left-right 3rd/4th gear corners is very difficult to get right. One mistake can lead you to run wide which means you're completely off line for the next sweep. The downhill straight to the hairpin is awesome though. The flat-out left just before is a bit like Antoniusbusche at the Nurburgring, but a bit faster. - MichaelJP
