Had an hour to spare before I have to go hospital visiting and just tried a couple of laps in various cars around Aintree.
The mini feels frenetic, and I hit the rev limiter in the highest final drive option waaay before the end of the main straight ( although the engine does not seem to suffer??).
The Lotus Cortina feels like it is on rails and superquick...but the laptimes tell a different story , so maybe I need to look at my driving in this car.
The Daimler V8 recliner, with comfy pillow option, feels like a supertanker but has truckloads of grunt, leans like a drunken cyclist and yet makes up oodles of time on the fast bits. Not sure if those tyres can take the pounding though?
Lap times are currently around the 2:08 as well, with the V8 slightly quicker..whilst it still has rubber on the rims!!

Edit Sunday evening....Set Arnold to work on the cars and tried a few more laps, found some more time,
Yes, it was me being too soft with the Cortinny have that lapping on par with the big comfy armchair now. Mabel wants me to use the armchair, says that she likes the smell of walnut and leather??!!
Anglebox seems about a second a lap quicker than anything else using my Angelsey setup.
Mk2 jag is posing a prob as I just cannot find the sweet spot, as is the mini, but these cars are at opposite ends of the handling spectrum so I am struggling to switch between them.
So the big question is..... Do I take the car that seems quickest here and try and get the max haul of points? ....or...... do I take a slightly slower car and hope to get some reasonable points, thus saving a fast car for a faster circuit where I might need the performance to collect any points?
decisions....decisions....decisions
The joke is that i will probably crash out Lap 1 Turn 1 anyway!!
