Yeah, sorry, Geoff and others about those poor starts. I guess I'm going to have to follow a course with Dan the Rocket Man.
Picking a car here was easy: good memories of Snetterton+Mini and on top of that I found an Ati setup for the 1275S. And Mini+Ati = oh yeah.
Ignoring the US Navy (okay, and the starts) the Mini 1275S was clearly superior and that allowed me to even do battle with Daz in Race 1. I can assure you, that's a very rare occasion, especially in GTL. Somehow I even got past without destroying a minimum of two cars and maintained the lead all the way despite Daz' apparent eagerness to restore the natural order.
Race 2 went along similar lines except that this time it was Matt with whom an epic battle was beginning to take shape. Alas, Matt preferred car ballet to overtaking Dom and after his incident the gap was wide both in front and behind. No chance of catching up with the USS Nimitz, USS Enterprise or USS Saratoga and no one was coming back from behind so 'twas just a Sunday stroll to the end.
I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't admit that things are going way better than I hoped and expected. I seem to be much more relaxed than ever before and that's translating in consistency and decent enough precision. A bit of advantage in the cars and I can't compain at all about the results.
Congratulations to the 'Stang drivers, I'm already worried about the day I'll have to pick it. I don't think I've driven the default Mustang even once since I got GTL (around 1963, right?). Don't worry, I'll start at the back when the case occurs.
