What are your sector times??? and current position if you're higher than me I might need help too, if you're lower than me ............ ok I'll share !!

Any car at Derby GP is an enjoyable experience so it's no different with the Palmer Jaguar, I have managed to get my times down to a few seconds off but should find more time.

I don't know how to drive quick on Badenring, either! Some guys are 3.5 seconds faster than me in the second sector... I just don't get it!

I have massive grip problems... After the hairpins I don't get enough grip on the rear axis: Apply gas pedal gradually and you're not fast enough or floor it too fast and you spin. In Südkurve and the exit of Mercedes Arena the car understeers... The track's perfect setup is a complete mystery to me

Comparing to the #1 leaderboard time i'm usually under on tenth behind in the first 2 sectors and 4 tenths in the last one..

Sounds like you should simply setup for the last sector to get rid of the understeer.. Doing that usually makes the traction out of hairpins more immediate too.. That means then you definately need to be progressive with the gas pedal out of the hairpins.

I can't get to Palmer Jaguar set-up, I've got message and then desktop, is it disabled at the moment or something wrong with my install?

Anyone else getting the white-wireframe skin on the Jag?

Also anyone get any tips on doing the hairpins @ derby? I know I'm loosing a bunch of time there. I ran with the AI and there noticeably faster through them than I am.

to get rid of white wire frame car just change the car livery for not donnington (derby) in the normal section of the game menus ie go to derby as if you were doing a race select the jag and change the livery there, then exit and then go into the event tab and the livery you just selected should show up (clear as mud??)
