Thanks all for joining, I expected a handful of people, so this was nice (eventhough 9 people isn't a lot).
At the start of race 1 I noticed these things didn't have a clutch
. So I had to abort my chase on FMG and do a drive through. Had some fun trying to get back, but mostly lonely race.
Race 2 showed me why I'm not a fan of reversed grids. Lot's a sudden braking required as the speed difference was a bit too much
.
I passed Jeffrey at some point (no idea how or where yet) which was helpful, as I didn't fancy my chances of paying him here on a clear track.
The 2 cars infront of me collided I think and the one right infront lifted off which boxed me in and I had to take the long way around the other side, which is when you came flying past. I knew it was going to be nearly impossible to overtake you now. You car was faster exiting the corners and on the straight, so I'm curious what you did with the setup. I think toe-in at the front helps decrease throttle understeer on FWD, but I didn't test that, not did I really try anything with the setup.
Had fun chasing you tho and with 2 laps to go I had a slight chance, but with all the corners shortly after each-other, it would have been a do-or-die move.
I was positively surprised about the pace of Pete in race 1 and Frex in race 2 (maybe others, but didn't see). That should bode well for close racing throughout the field.
Great race, I think these would be a popular choice if we ran them in a championship
if we don't do a wed night series in these I will definitely use them on a sunday night in the future
These cars could easily make a BTCC style series, if people aren't tyred of the British tracks yet.
Very funny.
Especially the second race, small contacts and a lot of fights, at one point I had to take a long hike on the grass to avoid a slow/stopped car. Too funny, I laughed alone while I was driving.
Good to hear classic car people enjoying these as well
