I do enjoy these so much more than the modern GT3's etc with all their aero.
Same here Pete, I find these probably the most enjoyable cars to drive in RRE, they go where you want them to & have a decent amount of power & grip. I always seem to be fighting understeer in the modern stuff, guess GTL setup methods don't really work with cars that don't slide.
Didn't get any practice for this except for a few laps before joining the server. Initially could not get the Omega below mid 1.28, but a couple of setup tweaks & moving braking a couple of notches to the rear helped the car turn better & I got into the 1.27s.
Finally got a half decent start & took the lead, gradually opened a bit of a gap to John, but then Frex got into 2nd place & started to close in. Gap came down to under 2s & then hovered between 2 &4s for several laps until suddenly I was 8s ahead of John. Thought Frex had made a mistake, didn't realise he had blown a tyre
. So finished 9s to the good at the flag.
Like to think I am getting the hang of these cars, but it's really the car that is making the difference!
Congrats to John & Pete
, bad luck to those that didn't make the finish.
