Go ahead and set one up. I have some family activities tonight that will keep me busy for most of the normal practice time. Thanks for covering.

The last sector was driving me batty in that practice. The right hander with the little undulations really throws me off. It will turn in nicely, but then the road drops away and the front end washes out. Sometimes I can get it back and it will snap oversteer putting me into the right wall, sometimes it will continue to understeer and put me into the left wall. I have hit it well a couple times, but to get through there reliably, I'm down a second on my optimal sector time.

I get all my braking done there before the turn in, then maintenance throttle on the rumble strip. There's a big tree off to the left, and when I see it, I roll on the throttle as I unwind the wheel. All that being said, I hit it perfectly about two times out of five. You can really see the sector time drop (using the TAB function) as you accelerate back up the hill when you get it right.

I was just in an official time trial for the DP and the session ended early for maintenance...do I get credit for it or not?

That'll be a "no" but you don't get any SR hits either...

Just ran a few (okay, like 20) laps at Zolder in the SR8...what a blast! I highly recommend picking this track up.

yeah, great little track. turns 1-3 (4?) and that left hander over the hill on the back stretch are a blast.

like most European tracks, a few too many chicanes for my taste though. and why is it perpetually dusk in iracing now?

I think the chicanes will make for some great passing opportunities...and disasters!
