    Just 2 spots left on the grid, looking forward to a sight like this again on Sunday night. Please please, some negative feedback on the handicaps, I want to get them as right as possible to try and emulate the 9 cars within 7 secs at the flag from the grid below in 2020.
    Thanks @UrsineSaturn9 for the photos I pinched from the 2020 edition. Wish I could load @Easyprey007 highlight videos with his bands backing music.

    Thanks Risky.
    That is about the pace I expected with little practice. Probably have you handicapped to a best lap a few tenths quicker. I know you, if you actually practice you can get very quick, but you may not have the time or inclination.
    I always handicap myself out of the race. May bring you a little closer to ADZA_85, or bring him back closer to me.
    Adza_85 is quicker than me and you atm.

    Im not in the 2.01s.
    2.02s low about best. Can hit a mid 2.02 with a loose swing of the bat.
    Consistency is king around Bathurst

    2:04 flat with optimum just 2:03:5.
    I lose so much time on con-rod straight. Going under the arch I can be 250km/h to 262 at best.

    That race i did in your room where we both were knocked out to last, the final lap you mowed me down and I did a 1.8, you did a 1.4!
    Have the replay.

    Less than 24hrs to go until a sight similar to below.
    The handicaps are fixed.
    Could you please like the OP post to confirm your attendance, to confirm you know your handicap and to confirm you have read the OP.
    Have a great Bathurst day tomorrow.

    @Apex_64 just did my first practice session of the week. Best time was 2:03.6 with a 2:02.9 optimal. Not much more I can manage tonight as the wine I drank at dinner has caught up with me and I was making silly errors.

    Going by that you better drink half a dozen while watching Bathurst. Pretty much spot on where I thought you would be. That mid/rear pack your in is going to be interesting. Hope there is not too much battling early, your all so close for speed.

    Ok, I think I'm doing similar or worst times than tfeccles, haven't spent much time on gt7 so losing pace. Not asking to go in front of him or beats, but I'll I know whizz will have me easily covered.

    Before looking at this year's times I would have had you closer. I want everybody except me to have a chance. I have adjusted it so your closer but nobody is later in time.

    It's the other way around tonight, if your sober put your hand up and you get penalised.
    I am banking on you being atleast .05 so you don't sail past me before the 1st pit.
