They put two more chicanes compared to the track from GPL, so now there are really too many.

Are all those corners too much for the "yank-tanks" then?  |

GT40 an "understeering pig"? I couldn't even finish one lap with it at Kyalami without it spinning!  |

I remember this circuit from the first Geoff Crammond Grand Prix. It was ok to drive but this one is hard work.  |

The Escort is understeery? Perhaps it was testing the GT40 first or my setup but I found it good fun  . The 911 is the only one I can get below 1.50's in so far but I haven't got the most outta the Escort yet. Clearly I don't agree with some of your views on this track and JR's unnofficial guide to this track, think you missed a couple of corners there We wouldn't haven chosen, and Simon wouldn't have recommended, it if we did. Still, lets wait till after the race before we pass judgement. I'm optimistic it will be a good one and confident I can hang on to my lead, if faster gents are abscent and JR starts from back again . |

The Escort. It has the understeering of the BMW, without the stability. It has the snap and oversteer of the Panty, without the speed. Who wouldn't love such a car I don't think I can make it, though if I'm wrong and do make it, I'll be in the bimmer. |

The Escort is a joke in this game and waaay off how it was in real life. In real it was a rallycar as well, good steer in and predictable oversteer. It was a great car in those days.
In GTL it understeeeeeers, and then all of a sudden snap oversteer out of nowhere.

Kinda ironic that they named the best Escort of all the "Mexico" innit? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b201/kym57/car%20racing/EscortMexico1974BH.jpg |

It's called a live axle. Nobody uses them any more for this very reason! |

Have you driven one? Nope, but you only have to listen to drivers who have, or see it in action, it's very different from how it is in GTL. |

So anybody got any setups? There are very few in the online folder and none for Porsche 911, which is the car that I'll be driving.
