Monaco map for the League Race

And here's the map...
For reference, I've walked it in 1hr 14 minutes...

F1 Car in GT4 could scrape a 1m 14s (all aids off, manual).

League Race 21 April - Monaco in a Jag!

Hello all,
It's that time again, another top race from the league.

This race config is brought to you by Will, and it sounds fun!

Date: 21-Apr-2011
Lounge Open: 9:00 PM
Race Start: 9:15 PM
Lounge: FCT GT5 Andrew
Track: Cote D'Azur - time change
Laps: 4
Car: Jag XKR Coupe '10
Tyres: Sport Soft.

Usual traction aids limitations, penalty rules etc are in place on this race.

The standings to date:
Paul - Kudos247 22
Andrew - Andyc709292 15
Will - sp00ner 13
Ben - bmalar 9
Baloo - cbaloo_8 7
George - geo_oppositelock 7
Pete - ShanLamar 2
Adam - Midpoint_ 0

Note: There's two races per race night, and points are in declining order based on the number of folks on the grid at the start of the race.
So, 5 runners, and top person gets 5 points, last place (even if you park up and watch) will get 1 point. 4 runners, top place gets 4 points and so on...

If we have the usual five runners, then there's a solid 10 points up on the night, which of course makes quite the difference to the points above, be there or be pointless


More as we get closer...
