Can't say I'm a big fan of these "technical" motorcycle circuits and I'm struggling to find enough time to get some decent praccy in. I'll be at the back then

Might be worth flagging up a big caution notice about Turns 1-2 on the first lap mind. Seconded! Did a league race in Minis here some time ago and it was great fun, but that first corner was a pig. Love the track though, a real exercise in maintaining speed in these little cars.

Well you might try practicing going backwards for when we use the actual motorbike layout The lightning bug is there to give another option for those who want one. it is possibly a race winner in the right hands, and is potentially faster than the other two.

I could not get the TR4's to work here as the engines kept overheating then catching fire ! I tried 3 times and tried both TR4s, even quitting out and returning, but each time the engine detonated after 2-3 laps Must have been a dodgy batch of Triumph engine parts from the factory Can someone else test and confirm? I got the Oran track from No-grip via Tonys link. Fried the Elite gearbox when I shifted too early to 2nd in the last corner. Didn't know the damage was modeled in this way because normally the gearbox can take a beating in PnG (= indestructible) Slow and off the pace. Will join Tony in his efforts for the MotoGP circuit.

Hmmm....
The Fiat is a bit of a worry. I have observed it "seeing off" much faster cars than the TR4 and Elite.

Mighty Manteos and his faster chums would likely be as quick whatever they drove. If you fancy the Fiat then use it. For me TR4 was slighy faster. then Fiat, then ELite. The idea is to have fun, not win cash prizes I think we once ran TR4, Arbarth, Alfa jnr, and maybe Tina at St Jovite once, and it was a pretty close race. 3 Quite different cars here, some will suit some people more than others. I will "probably" be in a TR4, I might use the Fiat if it's a field full of Coventry metal to shake things up a bit.

I can see Mighty Manteos turning up in a Brit bashing Abarth Unfortunately not Mark. I have the ROTW P&G champ tomorrow, so... Have fun guys In any case I guess that Abarth vs TR4 would be a great match, and the Fiat shouldn't be so advantaged. Only the Elite is likely to be a bit slower in this group. I'll wait the race results. Good luck guys Cu for the next

I was about a second slower in the Abarth than the TR4. Admittedly, I have done more practice in the TR4, but I can't see myself improving that much with the Abarth.
