Just wondering what the general opinion is about fastest lap time that the likes of Ron and Phil might be posting come Saturday?

Round about 0.5sec slower than ours Hugh

I would be very happy if I would be that quick but I am getting a bit slower each round while others are getting quicker so think I might be a little bit further down the order this time. I would be over the moon with a top 5 at Snet, but just spent a small fortune on new kit so plan on driving like Miss Daisy. Only thing that I plan touching the floor this time is the soles of my boots!

No predictions from me, far too old for that game. I've been studying the map layout but in all honesty it means nothing till you are there doing it.

Just going to use the test day to learn, build and hopefully be correct on the gearing, which I'm about to change tonight in readiness with a semi educated guess.

Chris.P and myself just changed my gearing, not sure it will make much difference to my lap times though, first time i will see the new layout will be during first practice Saturday.

Lets just hope for dryness as no one has tried these awesome dry tyres in the wet yet.

Now I know a lot of peeps play it close to their chest but not me... 14/41 or 14/40 is about right with my engine

I tried them on a TD at the end of Feb. on a wet Snetterton 300 circuit

1st session new tyre and very wet so toodled round.. 2nd session dryish line a bit quicker.. 3rd session fuelling probs so broke down 3 times in 5laps and then went home

Forecast is rain Thursday... Sunshine Friday... Raining Saturday and Sunday at the moment, so fingers crossed they get it wrong.

Cant believe that you both are young enough to race but too old to have a guess on what a quick lap might be around Snet?!

It wasnt for money or honour, I was just curious what people thought as I havent got a clue what to aim for.

As for gearing Ive only used the one for all the races so far this year and I havent got a clue what that is! Not had any experience playing with sprockets, perhaps I might do that with all the testing time I will have on Friday!

What about the first practice at Anglesey? Wasnt raining but the track was pretty wet from what I remember.
