| Just gave it a quick go to see how it's going to be. I think this is going to be a lot of fun, as long as we don't loose any parts...haha. |

The more I drive it, the more I'm starting to like it, though it seems that the track doesn't "look" politely at even the minor mistakes. On the other hand it might be my lack of skills and lack of idea how to properly set up the car :/ |

Just keep practicing, if you can do this track in an F3000, you can do almost any track in almost any car. |

Yep, have been driving a little bit yesterday and I'm starting to feel more comfortable. BTW, are we going to use some stock setups, or everyone will have a free hand in tuning their cars? |

| Ye as Andy said, we try our own setups, sometimes someone will really get a good tune dialled into their car and that setup will then be used by others (uploaded/downloaded). A good setup is almost a must-have though. |

| HamP, you have to play with your setup of the car, it's almost un-drivable the default setup, on Race 07 seems they set camber too high, lower tire pressure for greater tire contact surface area, start off with as much downforce as possible, you can always raise it later. lower your rear suspension a bit and play with your differential.
As we're a great bunch, we really don't mind sharing our setups amongst each other, and giving tips. The more we help each other, the better we become as a whole.
At the end of the day we each have a setup that suits our driving styles as well, so what may work for you may not work for me. |

| Guys, it was kind of weird situation - got DQed because somehow, on one of the corners, my car went all the way up to air  and I blew the engine when I touched the ground. I guess it was just a bad luck because I was cutting that corner the same way during practice/warmup sessions and everything worked properly. Anyway, thank You very much for the race and all that fun - it's a long way ahead of me to even be able to think about competing with You, but I will try hard and some day I will match You (hopefully) Best regards HamP PS.Sorry for not saying goodbye when I left the game/TS - didn't want to disturb You. |

| Sorry I missed this one. I had to run down to my moms and do some stuff. I didn't think it would take me as long as it did. |
