Here is a diagram of the next track for DTM on sunday night. Its a tricky one to get the hang of. So make sure you get plenty of practice learning the different turn markers.



A short video from the 1987DTM race at this track:

When you go to track, you do not leave from the pits. The pits and start/finish line are on the opposite side of the course.

Study it carefully. DSO will be reviewing the race to make sure people have not repeatedly taken the wrong routes.

I strongly reccommend practising before thursday night. this track takes some learning. Pace notes would help!

Yeh what David said. This track is a headfk! Combine with the wet surface, and it's not a track you'll be able to jump on and drive hard.
To be honest, it gave me the shits tonight lol.

Yeah, the weather isn't looking very good for the weekend so expect there to be rain on race day.

Try and get on and do a minimum of 25-30 laps to learn the track.
Its good fun once you get to know your way around.

Should be a great race.

What times are you guys hitting around here... fun little track... Best time so far... 59.9 atm in the dry, 1:03.1 in the wet

Bloody hell! My best was 1:07 in the wet.

best so far is 1:02:7, fun track loving the wet stuff

no-one mentioned that this race will be a 40 minute timed race.
A game of survival lol

Can't say I like this track at all. I didn't even notice the first chicane on the pit straight and probably wouldn't have had someone not pick me up on it. It was worth about .3 seconds a lap so I reckon I'm good for a low 1.03 with race fuel in the wet. Here is some video of the real deal

I wont be able to make this one either. Working night shift tonight and Sunday night.
PITA but I'm not liking this track at all, so I'm not particularly upset. lol.

How long will this race be Wally?

Noooooo, not Symmons again lol. Ah well, at least i dont have to smash out 80 laps of practicing.

What was the issue?

Partenope's game was crashing and it wasn't recording times after you stopped, I believe.

slight delay as i download 2011 dtm onto partenopes computer

No, no, no!

Wally, are you sure it's the track and not Angelo's computer. He was asking if people's lap times were coming up last night before the race.

PS. I thought we were going shopping after the V8s this afternoon.

no other people had different problems as well, stemming from dissappearing displays to the lap counter not working after pitting

Ok.

Phone me when you get home please?

Sharyn

yeah actually now i think about it, there was a few times there where my lap counter wouldn't start even after doing a perfect lap. i think it has something to do with the position of the pit entry.

probably better not to risk errors for the race.
