[Clive Loynes]

I shall need all week to learn this one!

All the corners look the same.

[Clive Loynes]

And I'm only a depressing three seconds off the pace!

[Paul_S]

I do not see anyone post lap times so far.

What is the target time ?

[Clive Loynes]

Well Gaizka has a time on GPLRank of 2:06.960

[Paul_S]

ah.... business as usual then

[Clive Loynes]

ah.... business as usual then

Yes.

And I expect that that will be Gaizka's time with the default setup so there could be another couple of seconds to find as well!

[Mezcua]

I know my time is (not) a reference 2:09.22 so far

[Clive Loynes]

ah.... business as usual then

No need for you to worry Paul as this one was made for you! You spend 90% of your time sideways!
EDIT:
I can offer a 2:08.11 in the Lancia but I'm really not that happy being on opposite lock for so much of the lap and I'm unlikely to be able to keep it going for long. It seems more like a drift competition.

[Doni Yourth]

I'm in with a best of 2m10.87s and not much chance of improvement. Much more comfortable with the circuit than previously but not likely to scare anyone.

Hi Doni, Ive tried to interest Evil in this one. All that sideways is right up his street!

[Clive Loynes]

I have made it into the 2:07s but I am still at a loss to know what is the fastest way around here as my best sectors don't happen in my best laps!

[Gaizka]

Ayer completé mis primeros entrenos. Me costó un poco encontrar la trazada, pero al final lo logré y volvieron a salir los 2:06s. Lo bueno es que de momento no estoy teniendo problemas de frenos. Nos vemos el domingo.



First training session for me yesterday. It took me a while to find the line and get back to 2:06.X. I did manage at the end. Plus my brakes are looking very good so far. See you on Sunday.

[Mezcua]

Free practice sessions started

[Gaizka]

Buena sesión de entrenos hoy. Todo listo para mañana, intentando asegurar el estar cómodo con el coche en carrera. Tal y como comentó Clive, en este circuito cuesta entender de dónde sale el tiempo. A base de afinar la trazada y empezar a usar los frenos, he llegado al 2:05.



As Clive described, understanding where the lap time comes from is a process that takes longer than usual in this track. Polishing the lines here and there plus some more usage of the brakes brought me to 2:05.X. And the focus is to be as comfortable as possible with the car during tomorrow's race.
