I saw that thing and was wondering if it would go out with us - cooooool! There are so many different "Formula X" variations that I have no idea what to aim for anymore. But I have a fleeting dream of owning an open wheeler and playing with it in a local league

There are often Formula M cars at Midvaal.
They're really quick and sound amazing too

But nothing beats the sound of a big V8 (Lola T70)
It's awesome being on track and mixing it with cars like that.

Thanks. I tried to improve on that in my last session, and really gave it horns but no luck. I got 3 laps in the low 2m20's but couldn't quite cut the cake. I was tired and maybe that affected it - anyway, something to attract me back there next time.

I noticed you doing some seriously quick laps too. Were you timing?

I was doing low 2:31's. I was unable to go lower than that. I think I was trying too hard in the corners and I'd start under-steering and lost time. I'm still running stock tires, I quite like them since they can take so much punishment, so I guess I could improve by changing tires.
