What kind of lap times are you guys getting with the official weather? I was getting low 1:08s in Sunday practice with default weather. I ran some practice last night in an official series session and the best I can get now is mid 1:08s. I lost about 1/2 second.

I was getting mid 1:09 as my best time last night. Daniil got a mid 1:07.
However I don't think I have a chance of lasting for a full hour race without destroying my car several times.

I think I was running in the 107's and getting my doors blown off by Nigel! He and a couple others were seriously fast here.

Congrats to Nigel on the win, Greg for second and Jim in Third, Glen and I 4th and 5th for a decent team finish for Never Quit Racing (2,4th and 5th)
exciting race for me as i spun 3/4 way through lap 1 and took up the rear and fought and clawed my way back to 5th. my apologies to anyone who thinks i got my elbows up in a couple of corners.
Had a real good battle with Troy Eddy for a number of laps. Its a tough track.

Wow, what a race! Especially the battle on the first few laps with Greg, Nigel, Jim (sorry if I missed anyone). There was a little bumping here and there, but that's really about as clean as it can be at Oran park. Great job guys I really enjoyed watching that. This place is tough, but there was a lot of really good driving all though the pack from what I saw (except for my two spins). Daniil had 4th covered until the final lap and ran out of fuel. That sucks, but thanks for the position.

Yeah, I am guilty of putting the elbows out a few times during the race as well. But that was a lot of fun! Don't think I've ever enjoyed Oran Park like I just did.

That was a really fun race, and quite the "trial by fire" returning to racing! I realized on the grid that I was in my qualifying setup, so I had to make some quick adjustments to the sway bar arms in the car to get it closer to race config. Still had to pit earlier that I wanted when the tires go over-inflated, but somehow managed to hold onto a 12th place finish, way more than I expected at my first time at Oran Park and first time racing the V8 Supercar since last October!
I want to give a mega-thanks to everyone who runs this league, I was in my own world for most of the race, but the organization and respect among everyone is outstanding and very refreshing. I expected the typical iRacing outbursts over the scuffles in the first few laps, but I was very happy to see that nobody got their "panties in a wad" over nothing, and that's awesome. Congratulations to Nigel on the win, and thanks again to everyone here. Looking forward to next week!

I did better then i expected. Started 17th worked up to about 12th before getting off in the grass and having to use my fast repair and pit stop. Had a great battle with Peter for alot of the race. Finally finished 14th? Pays off being able to practice lol

Fun race tonight! I wasn't too thrilled about getting tagged by a spun car early in the race, but if it didn't happen then I wouldn't have had a good battle with Troy Eddy for 7th at the end of the race. Good run, Troy!
