Not hard core enough for you pro's I guess  I've enjoyed driving the Abarth so far, like I said elsewhere, I'm actually learning to drive and starting to get to grips with the change-over from pad to wheel and pedals. It's helping me enormously with some of the other cars too. Might not be fast and furious but at least I'm not spending the whole race with no-one to chase or run away from, hence the smiles. The couple of glasses of Chablis might have had something to do with it too.......  |

This is going to be a tough one. its needing a complete change in driving style, much like the F458 did with its tyres. THe slower i go, the better it seems it is. I like how tail happy it is in the fast corners when on the brakes! THough it does suffer whith an annoying trait which i dont beleive exists, the rather massive understeer when on power.

My real world front wheel drive car doesn't understeer on power, probably because it has none. Oh these Arbarths must have some then |

I'd use the word 'power' loosely on this occasion  |

Oh these Arbarths must have some then That could be due to a number or reasons, tyres, power, weight, tyre type, tyre seize steering angles, torque output, suspension..... Etc etc. Im finsing the cars easy tp drive quicl but hard to master which is nice. My laptime so far is about 1'27 i think. Im going to setup a server to ight and have another practise. |

50/50 whether or not I can make this one now  parents' meeting means I might not make it back for booking deadline so fingers crossed. |

 This would have been so much more fun with a few more cars on track. Surprised myself with my first ever pole only to throw it away on the last chicane on first lap. Spent all race trying to close on the two in front but times were almost identical. A totally under-rated combo and lots of fun. Thanks for server and race, Bob.
