Cars are slightly too much for me too. Just not enough brain power left over to race them at the same time as keep them on the road.

Was sort of enjoying my dice with JPS in the second race though it did rather cement my opinion that our current rules allowing off-line defensive driving spoil the racing and end up forcing a following driver to attempt wild stabs up the inside after a few laps of being unable to find a way through - doubly so in a reversed grid situation.

Great fun to drive these cars.
Race 1 I had an excellent start and went from last to 3rd. Had some nice battles with the Gymer brothers, also in race 2. Nice drifts in teh race and good fun.

The 320s are more enjoyable, but not for close racing IMO. A real handful while can prove difficult/dangerous.

LOL, defensive driving, LOL. Grin

Weaving down the back straight is certainly an interesting form of defensive driving.  laugh

These cars were great fun, although they need a lot of talent to drive them and a light right foot I enjoyed messing around with Jeff to see who could slide the most (I think I lost in that my slides often involved not holding it Smiley).

Wow!
4th and a 3rd and I don't even like these cars!

However by driving them on a track I liked, they began to grow on me.
 
Very difficult keeping them abouselutely clean, straight and predicatable.

Race 2 I drove the last six laps with a bent suspension which was turning me in a different direction every time I straightened the steering wheel! An interesting way to drive these cars!

Finished third overall in the event, and I must say I will probably drive them again given the right track. Treat with respect at all times!!

Results and replays now in.
Starting  order for the second Race isn't set, but everything else should be ok.
