I agree with Mark, those who raced last week should take the same car as they used then.

I didn't feel so well during last time, becuase i ate and drank too much for dinner ................ so in order to be 100% fair and square I shall now have to each too much all over again?  Stig |

And I have a new power supply for my G25, so perhaps I should not use it, as I had to use my ancient Sidewinder last week I just grabbed the Alfa because it was an easy drive with the horrible little Sidewinder. I think people should drive whatever they want, most will likely drive what was their best choice again. |

Agreed. Anyway, I have been doing Barcelona practice so couldn't possibly contemplate coming to terms with a new car for Oulton. |

Stig yep, don't want you gaining any power/weight advantage bah your too soft Matt. You just gave the green light for everyone to go for a car that was quicker than them last time! booo!!  |

I think everyone should have to take the same car they used last week. It's not an excuse to swap for a perceived better car just because the server was borked!  Well i was absent last week and not done any practice yet, so starting from a clean sheet. Where is the 911 ST in the pecking order here? I had such a fun race in it yesterday at GC i would quite like to give it another go.. |

Probably 2nd fastest car after the Alfa GTA SA. |

Chortle.
IMHO the Alfa Sa is potentially the fastest if you can keep it on the track, the 911 is probably next, very closely followed by the 16v Escort
and then the other Alfas.

does that mean you have a better version to suggest? Sure we would all be happy with any track improvement over those that get used regularly, if known about.  But I agree the bumps are wrong, I did a trackday there in my own car last year! |

Me too, the bumps are there, but not as harsh. The bumps up the hill after the hairpin are nasty as well. This is the best version I have.

As a noobie to PnG, and still on a very steep learning curve I find the bumps present an added problem in setting the car up for the next corner, or compromising the application of wellie in some places. The Oulton Park track that I am used to in GPL does NOT have these nasty undulations and is smooth and user friendly lol.
Am I right to lift off the gas over these bumps to prevent the engine over revving? It is something that I have had to do for years in GPL, just like lifting between gear shifts. I did try nailing the gas a couple of times and nothing terminal happened, but was I lucky, or does PnG not punish you for having lead in your right boot?

Within reason  There is an 'engine health' figure (which you can see if you use XD), but most cars seem to be very robust when it comes to over-revving. There are a few exceptions though, for example, the Escort FVA loses a few % of engine health each lap if I really thrash it, but due to the length of the races at SROUK it rarely has any consequences. Performance doesn't tail-off or anything, it just goes bang when it reaches 0%. The 911 is another one particularly prone to aggressive downshifts - I've blown a few engines doing that.. |
