could do maybe... blackwood gp is a bit boring tho, like that track was the original one from demo been around for years.
I'm assuming normal GP_Blackwood, not reverse. not got a setup for that combo, but i'll probably be up for it later.

makes sense, I'm having to do uni work at the mo... but probably be watching film later with family... so 7-9 ish is good thinking...
See if Drax wants to play too... and corsasport gav??
I only say So_chicane_route as it's new in this patch, so it's quite fresh to people who've played the game a while, where as Blackwood is so old. Plus So_chicane is quite challenging, but also fairly simple... It would take you a few laps to learn it, but then a few more to master it. Also coz it's new, no one (as far as I know) has a super ace setup for it yet, so all there are, are random semi good setup's ... so people tweak them to suit their style.
If Chris sets up a server on it, we can have like 30 mins practice / setup / teaching each other how to go quick session before a race? or whatever.

paul that set you sent me is very nice, abit twitchy under braking, it will need the steering ratio knoked down abit (for me as i dont use full 900deg) but its very nice 3 times i managed to do a 31:5x split which would leave me in the 1 6's but with it being to sensitive on the wheel im having to overcorrect mild slides knocking my times to shit.
ill have a go tonight see how i do.

Chris, I should've let you have my 'tweaked version of that set'
Basically, that setup was one ATC Quicksilver gave me.
But I noticed it was a bit twitchy on right handers, so sorted that out ... but then it was too stable and wouldn't turn in easily for the left handers - so tweaked it for that!

two big right handers? what and then followed by the tight left before the down hill?
I literally go ...
Flat out in 6th, sweeping down hill into the right hander... let the car move to the left hand side, brake while straight, and down shift to 3rd, get back on the throttle slightly, and turn in, hit the apex, and try to apply more throttle, steadying the car as it drifts sideways towards the wall on the left, put my foot flat down in 3rd and drive the car back over to the right, - then slight brake and downshift to 2nd and drop it to the left, while then try ing to feed power on, then flat down that hill, moving slightly over to the right, into 3rd gear, and flat out through the chicane potentially with a slight lift inbetween, then into 4th just after the exit.
