I had great fun driving this circuit...a new one for me, but the bumpy straight was a little too realistic I felt. The smoother parts of the track were great and as i got more used to the track I found that I could really push hard through some bends and find huge chunks of time.
In fact the time I was gaining, when I got a corner nailed, seemed enormous, far more than the apparent extra speed that I was carrying. But the main straight
that bumping caused me to miss my braking point far too often, so I ended up slowing too early just to be sure of making the tight apex at T1. I wonder if anyone else found it so distracting?
Pinching pole in the last seconds was fun
and I was looking forward to a tight race as the times at the front were very close. I did not save the replay but there was obviously some exchanging of paintwork samples going on and many cars were victims. I ended up way off the circuit with no wheels and a long wait before I could Shift-R and even when I rejoined there were still cars still bouncing off each other!! lol
I was hoping that I might be able to catch the leading pack and join in the fun but basically I was overdriving and missing braking points and apexes far too often to have a hope of catching anything except a haybale!!
Grats to the podium guys, at least I enjoyed the chase
If we use this circuit again I might dump the update, if that is what produces the bumpy surface. It might be more realistic, but I'm afraid I found it a big distraction...and my teeth are still rattling!
