do it!
for me i had done 30 laps on this cirtcut, without ever seeing it before, so i wasnt all that fast or safe
a big SORRY to Mike for me spinning in front of you, i first managed to avoid the wall, but then i couldnt avoid spinning back on track and i reached for the esc key....and i managed to press it before you hit me, but...yeah....i forgot the stupid menues that asks you if you want to quit.
also, one might wanna take it a bit easy when there is a spinning coffeemachine in front of oneself on a slippery track

O well drago, next year we go to suzuka again if im right
Well start of the race was ok, could overtake firefly at the 1st corner starting in 2nd place so was good, after that i pulled a nice gap of around 10 secs i think with drago in 2nd but towards end of the first stint firefly was suddenly 2nd and closing in on me pretty rapidly so i knew he was on a strong race pace this time. I hoped he was on a 3 stopper but till mine suprise he pitted in the same lap as me 25th lap, so at that moment i knew i was not gonna win this one, he was lapping half a second faster then me so i decided to back of a bit and safe the brakes. In the end with 3 laps to go i lost mine left front anyway so just limpin home in 2nd is still good. I also made some changes on setup before start of the race that probably made me a bit slower, in practise i could easyly do the times firefly was showing today.
Well i hope next race some more will show up again.
Congratulations to firefly amazing pace m8
edit: O yeah NA boys, you better test out youre brakes, its a bit monza like

Thank you for the congrats.
Qualifying went perfect for me - i was really happy with my lap. Unfortunately I had a terrible start in the race with wheelspin and three cars (Mark, Drago and RoadRunner) all went past.
I managed to get back ahead of RoadRunner at turn 2 and had a nice fight with Drago for second. After that I just had to focus and try to close down the gap to Mark - we both pitted at the same time (very close together) and I think I got ahead of him a couple of laps after the first stops.
It was a fun race as the car felt quite nice to drive this time.
Hopefully we have more taking part in China.

I noticed Ethone released a 2007 Fuji layout a few days ago (on RaceSimCentral forum). Haven't tried it though.

Indeed Fly but it is very BETA at the moment.
There isn't any .mas files yet he didn't pack them because there are still some issues he wants to fix before he releases the final version.
I am in some contact with him so I can let you know when the final release might be.
The track is looking AWESOME
