In all seriousness, I think you should put up a big warning not to do so! Someone will let it slip. Especially the people who can watch it in 'real time'

Hehe yes but where to put it? Basically I will sacrifice myself and be ready to delete any post or topic with the time in it!

^^^^

Or just avoid JW for a couple of hours... i know it will be hard, but it's unfair to spoil it for yourself.

I for sure will be watching it in "real time" and i would never spoil it for the rest of you guys

Knowing the guys on TG.... they'll probably leave the lap to the very end... or even worse, show is the lap, then announce it after some other feature

What would really suck is if they end up testing it in the WET. Do you think that if the track were wet, they'd wait for a different day for it to dry, or just test it anyway because it's the only day they could get the car?

We need a dry lap for the Enzo to make a good comparison.

Isn't that exactly what Jabba does for everyone (well not everyone, but the DL/UL members).

At Levante the CGT did it in 53.9, the enzo did it in 55 flat, the CGT stops 24m less than the enzo making it faster on a track (braking deeper into a corner, the enzo has the higer top speed, but, there is not a long enough straight in any track to descriminate between the CGT and the Enzos top speeds.

I think the TG track not being a "proper" track is bullshit, its about the same length as Ferrari's test track and was designed by lotus....

I vote for the CGT although either way its gonna be mighty close

I agree Lotus really know their stuff when it comes to handling so a lotus designed track is bound to test the cars properly. As for the race i'll bet on the Enzo purely becuase Jeremy is a Ferrari Nut and would make the Stig go out time and time again till it gets the record 8)
