Nice one Al. Will give your gear tips a go. In general I have been using 3rd for the majority of corners and 2nd in the tight hairpins. Not sure what you mean about the throttle/break I presume its always keeping one activated i.e. no coasting.
Thanks Wobbly am slowly improving. It is definitely all about getting to know the tracks/corners. Unfortunately this just takes lots of laps and a lot of time (well for me anyway). Should still be able to shave a fair bit of time off for this weeks challenge hopefully
