just click the orange pop up icon.

best time: 24secs. damn gearbox keeps blowing up, and the brakes/tyres are obv crap

lol

pr1mo · 31-07-2006, 03:32 PM

ahaha then just pop down to your local BWS, polish off a bottle of scotch and give it a go for real.

seriously what are they thinking! this will end up on talk back radio.

Red Frog · 31-07-2006, 03:38 PM

hahaha very true

but then again it's a V8 commonwhore AND VB, so typically you must be an idiot to drive and drink both......and it's only natural to do it at the same time

SehnKhan · 31-07-2006, 03:47 PM

Best time of 17.576 currently, sitting in 6th for the day.

Rupewrecht · 31-07-2006, 04:05 PM

I'm ahead of Boyd with a 17.382 and that's all that matters

edit: 17.201

Red Frog · 31-07-2006, 04:06 PM

oh!! how did u manage that?? wots the trick? i realised u can jump start, and that keeps you going pretty well, but beyond that.....

Tom · 31-07-2006, 04:32 PM

hmm.. i cant get anythin better than 22seconds lol..

ZoomZoom · 31-07-2006, 05:06 PM

21 sec for me ..... what's the trick to get down to 16 or 17?

SehnKhan · 31-07-2006, 05:39 PM

Now a 17.300.... I'm chasing you down Dan!!

EDIT: 17.033... back in front of Dan, and THAT's what COUNTS! 16's here I come

EDIT AGAIN: 16.476.

Crocaine89 · 31-07-2006, 06:36 PM

how do u do it lol

Rupewrecht · 31-07-2006, 08:48 PM

change gear at a particular point!

Fro-Daddy · 31-07-2006, 08:55 PM

which particualr point is that?

SehnKhan · 31-07-2006, 08:58 PM

I find just as you hit the red line... so at 9,000RPM hit the gear.

Fro-Daddy · 31-07-2006, 09:01 PM

yea, i can only manage a 23.9 :P firefox or ie outta curiosity?

SehnKhan · 31-07-2006, 09:11 PM

Firefox, but I tried IE too, neither is quicker

dru · 31-07-2006, 10:33 PM

thats gay lol, i changed perfect every time...even got the jump start and the best i can do is 19!

Rupewrecht · 31-07-2006, 10:46 PM

gotta change right on the 9k line (which then should say 'nice change' or nice shift or some rubbish)

and leave at the right time

SehnKhan · 31-07-2006, 11:56 PM

Dan finished 9th for the 31st of July, I managed a 3rd. I have no idea how I set my time above because I've not been able to get even remotely close to the mid 16's since then, a couple of high 16's but that's it!

Oxygenate · 01-08-2006, 04:17 AM

I bet there's some trick to it that I haven't worked out yet. Can't get better than high 17's with a perfect start and all perfect changes. =/

Rupewrecht · 01-08-2006, 10:28 AM

A new day, a new time...15.931.

no idea what i did different. i think the sooner you brake the better, and the timing of when you leave.
