Nice.

Rik have you tried hand brake turning the Lola yet?

Yes : But it doesn't have a handbrake, I think.

[gorgias1976]

Rick drives with coast at 0% and brakes balance all to the rear. ;D

I really struggled yesterday with the little grip of the surface of the road. I'll try today the setup Santiago sent me.
I want to be able to lap safely withouth crashes as I want to upload my lap from sunday to my youtube channel.

I remember the question of "Who is Nino" came up during the Targa Florio Box Truck race.

As we are all old and tend to forget that we wanted to research something, or often fall asleep while doing so, I thought I'd share a short answer with you all.

From the internet. Which is always correct:
Nino Vaccarella (born 4 March 1933) is an Italian former sports car racing and Formula One driver, born in Palermo, Sicily.

After winning the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, the former headmaster of a nearby school became the local hero of the Targa Florio race after winning in 1965, then repeating in 1971 and again in 1975, when it was no more a World Sportscar Championship event. He also drove the big V12-powered Ferrari 512S in a heroic yet ultimately losing effort in 1970, damaging the car in the final stages.

[gorgias1976]

he was as human as us (in the way he also damaged his car ;D )

We also have a skin of a Nino's car, download it and use it at Targa if you feel like it.
