Race one looks good, but I'm not interested in driving the mini (all fwd are dull), can we give it an alternate car to pick Mike? Something like the Tina maybe?

Seconded. Don't care if the RWD alternative is slower, I just want some fun and FWD ain't, for me

Give it a chance guys. Crank up the rear bar and let it float into the corners. The yellow Bitrax mini goes pretty well.

I'm sorry I can't join these sprints, but that won't stop me from speaking my piece The exclusive use of minies always makes a race close, fewer people crash and you have very few DNF. That's the main reason, I like them, but I also find them fun to drive. Last but not least, the only time I ever smoked the honorable Sir Ade, was driving a mini at Roskilde Ring. If that ain't fun, what is I certainly don't agree with the many people in this forum, who think that 'all fwd cars are dull' and that 'smaller cars are boring.' I take it you mean in simracing games ? I once tried the Mini Cooper S ( street car version ) IRL, and I sure wouldn't describe that as a 'dull' experience . I don't imagine driving a modern fwd car like the Seat Leon or the Alfa 147 GTA in race-trim would bore me to death neither

I'm with Stig on this. I had several Minis in my youth and always dreamt of having a Cooper. Even when I managed to locate 10 or 15 year old wrecks in the small ads, at age 20 no insurance company would touch me Every historic race meeting I go to I still end up gawping at the Minis. I did eventually have a couple of 1275GTs which were great fun, but not the same. I like the PnG 1275S and the even sweeter 970S but neither are better than the humble GTL 1275S which even has that funny squeak from the rear radius arm bushes.

Split opinions on FWD drive, who'd have thought it? If not for this race, it would be nice for FWD to battle RWD in evenly balanced cars to end the debate once and for all Now, oddly, I'm looking forward to the Mini race. I'll make life hell for any FWD fans, and Legzy, I beat

Just tried the Daytona round here and I must say as someone who usually hates these tanks, it is mightily fun. The first lap should be worth seeing as the exit through the gap from the oval to the outfield is about as wide as my garden gate 1:35 so far

What a pleasant suprise this track is. Would be better if the Oval bits had steeper banking as they are a pain in the shelby but a fun track to hotlap at least Never seen a track like it. Matt was scarey fast in the Elan but maybe the Shelby can get there?
