I had forgotten just how treacherous this track is. It's fun to drive here, but very easy to loose your ground control Stig

LOL
Yes, the BMW's approach to Cascades feels like you have driven it off the ramps and straight into the inspection pit!

Great selection of cars on a great racing track Think they will be closely matched too as can tell certain cars will be quicker at different parts of the circuit. Hope we get a good turn out

tried 2 of the 3 available now and got to say they are both sublime around this circuit ...hmm choices, choices.... suffering man-flu and a chest infection so may have to pick the easier to drive car, though a coughing fit will have me in the barriers in either.

You can actually set up this race as an off-line AI event with all three cars but I have had to remove the 911 as some of them can't drive and keep spinning and parking themselves in front of me.

The 911 is certainly a handful in some sections of the track but feels very satisfying when the balance is right and you put a decent laptime in. Not sure I can be consistent enough in it with my current ailments How do the escorts shape up against the other two?

For me the Squashcourt was slightly slower, but an easier drive, which means it will be much slower for coleopterists

The Escort is quicker than the Porsche for me. Haven't tried the BMW, but team testing says it's probably the quickest of the bunch.

Should be around for this one. No laps yet so hope the pork is a good match for those bimmers. I notice as usual everyone is shy when it comes to posting their times

Enjoyed my 1st PnG outing for nearly 2 months & big thanks to SeniorDan for waiting for me when I span in the hairpin following what can surely have only been the lightest of contacts (maybe even a gust of wind! lol). Gentleman driver & made my night Car was good to start with, but as the laps flashed by, it was getting more unpredictable on the rear, meaning I was more cautious & stuck between understeering & oversteering on most corners. Shame because I was settling into a nice little scrap with Matt, but my 4th off in 3 laps was too much for me. Cheers all.

Sorry about the tap Legzy. Afterwards I wasn't sure what to do: try and catch up with you or wait for Evil he was all by himself. Chose the latter.
Thx all for another great race night. Cheers , Dan
