From where I am watching this series (usually buried deep in the undergrowth somewhere!!) Rog is an enigma
I am totally at a loss to understand how he is a) so quick, b) so consistent, and c) comfortable.
Others have posted here about their tyres running out of use with 8-10 laps to go and maybe adjusting their setups to improve their tyre life.
LOL!! If only my experience was that good
In all of these races I find that I can wrestle these cars to a respectable grid placement, maybe a couple of seconds off of alien pace but not a total embarrassment. However, when we move onto the race proper things start to unravel very quickly.
Last night's race was typical of this series so far, 2 laps into the race and the loaded tyres are glowing orange/red, losing grip and already showing signs of rapid wear.
3-4 laps, and the tyres are getting to the dangerously worn zone and the car has become very unpredictable. This is manifested by the rear end deciding that it wants to be leading things. Sooner or later the back end slowly begins to come around ( as it did as I exited Church last night ) it does not happen at all quickly, but is totally unstoppable. No amount of opposite lock ( I actually doubt that applying opp lock is even recognised by the game??!!) , lifting off the gas, tweaking the steering to reduce front end grip and re-balance the car.....nothing makes any difference and we sail inevitably in a graceful spin into a barrier/wall/tree and rip off a wheel ( or two!!).
To get as far as the last 8 laps with a car that was just difficult to drive would be bliss in my sad world lol.
Grats to Roger and the podium people on another good race...………….I think that I really need to go back to school with these cars, much as I did with the Minis, and spend a lot of time working out where I am going wrong...but that would involve spending time practicing and this is only a game and not a way of life isn't it???
