After an ugly qualifiy in my Italian GTR2 champ on the Nordschleife track, I decided to have some fun with the car listed for this race, and I've tried all cars with race fuel... that's the result:
Porsche 914 1.39.4
Corvette L88 1.43.0
Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale 1.38.9
Lotus Elan 1.39.8
289 Willment 1.40.6
Maybe I leaved the default fuel tank on the 914, and probably I was a bit heavy than necessary, but it's not a matter... I'd turn in a 1.38 high... not so better...
I don't know if it's just my impression, but probably the 275 Speciale is stronger on this track than the 914. I made my best lap after only 2 or 3 laps, (then leaved) and I find it easier to drive than usual here in Dubai National. A good driver in this car can kill the race at the first lap I think... even if after 10-15 laps with worn tyres it won't be easy to keep the same pace during the end of the race.
L88 Roadster is definitely rejected here! Maybe the L88 Coupè can make something better and can fill the gap between the other cars, even if I'm not so sure... you can give it a try!
Another great car for this track is the Elan, that in race pace it's a bit worst than the Fezza and 914, but seems easiest than the rest of the listed cars, and that ensures a good pace during al the race... Nevetheless, on the straight is the slowest, and it will be a good challenge for a fast driver to bring it in front of fastest car like Fezza and 914 at the end of the race.
The most challenging car for the faster driver will surely be the 289 Willment, that is the funniest to drive in this group for my taste, but it's really difficult to tame such a great oversteer when accelerating for some laps... I was not so constant in it!
It's a pitty I have to miss that one, I like so much such a good car list!
Cu soon!
