Whilst watching the replay it was clear that the different cars had strengths and weaknesses at various parts of the circuit. Navin's Jag was great on the twisties but suffered for long straight acceleration and speed. The Maza's had to take corners slower than the other cars but could catch anything and pass them on the long straights. Tha Aston just about had middling capability but could take high speed corners faster than the Maza.

I also found a really noticeable handling difference when I went out on new tyres after my pit stop. I had found that the car had no feel to the steering at turns 1,2 & 3 but this was not evident after the stop.

Didn't expect to see the chattered flag - that was a funny but demanding one.
Love these cars more and more and hope to master also the others and not
only the Maserati 4,5  Grin

CU next week,

And Bill : there were enough events during the past weeks where you have been
better and/or faster than me - so don't worry  Wink

What an absolute blast that race was. I'll say that this series has been the most fun and the biggest surprise of the year Grin. I practiced a bit with the DB-1 and 2 before the race and then did a few laps in the Jag. I really didn't like the Jags tendency for throttle on snap oversteer but realized that it would be the best choice for some good close racing. And boy howdy that was the best thing I could of done Smiley.  Had some of the best close racing of the year Cool. I could fly though the first half of the track and then lose time on the back half. Matt was very consistant driving the beast Wink and I was a little less with the twitchy Jag. I sure hope that more racers will give this series a try or those that have before give it another run Wink.  Come on fellas the water is fine!! Thanks for the good racing fellas and congrats to Matt for a solid win and to Kurt for a well deserved 3rd place.
