A bit of history : The Lime Rock GP offered a tremendous show to the spectators gathered around the tiny and twisty track. Japanese brands were on top, with Toyota giving favourite Nissan a run for their money until the end with Juan Manuel Fangio II, who eventually finished 2nd. Nissan prevailed though, with Chip Robinson, the winner, and Geoff Brabham, in third place. Intrepid and Jaguar were a bit left behind, with Taylor and Kendall 4th and 5th, both one lap down, and Boesel and Jones, 6th and 7th even further behind. In the Lights class, Parker Johnstone having suffered an accident, it was David Tennyson on his Spice Ferrari, paired up with Ken Knott for the occasion, who went on to victory lane.

Cannot find a setup for the Sauber. Where could I find one? I have no clue how to make setups...the fast setups are no fun to drive as well as very slow. Sure could use some help.

Well, as mentioned before, from ages ago, I had a Great Mazda Setup, (well atleast I thought so), but even though fast, I Must be driving differently than I was then, because it's No longer Good Enough !!,..lol

Have managed to get well under My previous mazda times (in the Jag/Gebhardt) am down to about 43 flat, (Would Love to break into the 42's !!),...Close!,..But Oh My,..The Tyre Temps !!!,..Especially the Left hand side !!!

If I can Keep the Left's from Melting Off the Car,..I too will be there


Hey Bill, this Is a somewhat difficult track to get a Great setup on IMHO, have Not yet found what I would call a Good Race setup for my Jag,..(Have Not looked at a Sauber), although My Jag setup is Not that Far from the <Fast> setup,..from memory.

Perhaps others can advise or offer a setup, I'll have a play and compare !,..lol

Will 'post' anything I have that Works!

Hey I figured You guys would have this Track 'Nailed' !!,..lol

well nice track. first time that i did drive this one,
I drove more than 2 or 3 races here in nascar.

I will be there.

It is incredible where did this guys drive.

Thank you!!

.

That's sweet Seb, welcome back (remember the good old Cevert days...)

Si tu aimes bien les chassis A et D, je te conseille la catégorie Lights, sinon une chassis C serait un choix sympa aussi

Tiens salut Seb !

Salut Seb

Man, gotta miss another classic track!

I'll be in Mancunia this weekend so, perhaps the next one. Good luck gentlemen!

I'm down to 42 flat, but I get the same problem than you, and I'm afraid it's uncurable We'll have to take it easy on them rubbers !

I will be there for Round 7: Lime Rock GP. I'm burning up the left front too, but I think it will last the stint. Good luck fellas!

I'll be there

nice hard track.

did yesterday 42 flat but only one time. did some 45 laps. left side is hot. only i think i have fuel problem. to small fuel window, i need maybe 2 stops. going to try now fuel.

My computer has a virus. I cannot say for sure if I will be able to race....will have to see if I can get rid of it. Sending message from wife's netbook. Sorry Antoine...this was out of my control.

Damn that's terrible Bill ! Hope you can sort it out by tomorrow mate !

Only A chassis have one stop for fuel. Other i think must pit twice.

i did under 41 lap. hehe.

but this is endurance race not hot lap race.

Should be there
