Just to echo other comments, what a fabulous track, of course
it looks beautiful but there are some really awesome corners.
As there seems to be no replays around I thought I'd post one to
get the ball rolling.
I just dl'd this a.m. fired up GPL, chose the Ferrari and with
the default settings just setoff for as blast in the country. I
really enjoy my first few laps of an unknown circuit, when
you just don't really know whats coming (although you
can go by racing groove and to a certain degree instinct.
Anyway, first (and only so far .. gotta work) 5 laps where as follows
:
Practice laps
Lap 1: 4m25.977s [Off the track, Unknown incident]
Lap 2: 4m13.905s [Off the track]
Lap 3: 3m55.438s [Off the track]
Lap 4: 3m54.282s [Off the track]
Lap 5: 3m44.045s [Off the track] <- this one posted
I know it's way off current good times which I read elsewhere
are around 3:30 but not bad for the 5th lap ever and you can
easilly see where I'm losing lots of time.
I spent the first two laps calling in at the pub down by the
hairpin, no lap was without some incident but the 3:44 was
only a bump with a hay bail and a small amount of
rallycrossing.
Apart from the Hairpin (just tricky to balance on the approach)
there are a couple of other areas to catch out your "instinct", there
a sharpish left hander early on and a number of blind v.fast sweeps
but generally you can judge the track quite well without having to
learn it in detail.
It's not meant to be particularly instructional and I'm no hotshoe at
+26.07 in GPLRank the lines taken etc. are just gut feel, but maybe
worth a look if you are interested.
MaXX
