Yes it works well with a variety of tyres. Chris and I have settled on the blockades though. more forward bite. but may run Gridirons for the final for more consistency.

lol, messrs Hampshire and Tomkins appear to have give up their day jobs and are playing this game full time. They have racked up a staggering amount of miles since they signed up in December and January.

I need to find more time to lay down some laps!

#cough# I have been considering a new graphics card and a larger screen would also be nice :-D

High idle, how high?? Mid 30's or higher. I seemed to have stumbled on a stable engine setting that I keep the same from one track to the next, but always happy to experiment.

What is the benefit for the high idle setting from your perspective?

Well....now that we're at the end of the official event I would like to say I have enjoyed this very much indeed and hope we can do it all again for padova which I believe is the next one?
Good luck to all those who haven't done their final runs yet, hope to see you in the next one,
