Find an event that you may be interested in, then enter the practice server, if you like? enter the event.

For this event the practice server is:

RACEDEPARTMENT.COM EU Mazda MX-5 Cup PRACTICE #05

Get back to me if you are still having problems

found it, thanks Craig.

so, what lap times should i be looking at to be competitive? sub 1 minute seems to be a challenge at the moment!

Prob low to :59's I'm sure some will be in the :58's. Were you "Dell" in the server earlier?

RichDell · Oct 1, 2018

yeah fella i was
managed a few high 59's but first time ive driven that lay out, so im sure it'll come once the setup is sorted

Such a short circuit I guess it'll be a close field whatever the times are

i also think that the consistenty on this track is more important than a single low time. As mentioned by John it will be close and its a good training if you are new for the handling with cars in front and beside your own car.
But i think 59's are for the middle (like myself)

Great car and track combo. Both new to me and after a session I was putting in high 59s. RobR1 a good 0.8 quicker. Hope there's some slow guys to lap with
