Importer fiddled and results now up.
Sadly the rubbish netcode in iR meant I wasn't always sure where his car
I wonder if your connection was struggling a tiny bit - when you spun your car blinked out and back giving me a nervous moment.
I did about 2 laps earlier just to see if the car had changed in this build and it had so I thought I'd give it a go. Took Mike's setup which felt a bit odd - higher at the front than the rear wasn't helping - so I tweaked it a bit but still never really felt comfortable.
Race was 'interesting' - grid was a bit of a concertina job at the start but we all seemed to make it through the first few turns without incident. After that I settled down and just ran at a relatively conservative pace, letting people spin off in front and watching the battle between Blunder and Picnic.
Thanks to everyone who spun for standing on the anchors - it really does make it a lot easier to dodge you.
5th was far more than I deserved for just driving round at nine tenths and staying on the track.
but it seemed to clunk into gear rather than just slot into gear.
They've put that noise in deliberately so you know it's gone in. Stupidly you can't hear it in some cars.
Blipping on downshift didn't seem to help and even just letting the throttle off completely didn't always make it shift down.
I was only really having to blip into a couple of corners where the downshift was mid-bend, just to stop the rear breaking away. Most of the time it was shifting down quite happily without a blip or the clutch - quite different from the Radical which needs a blip most of the time.
I have to say I still don't really 'get' the single seaters. I've got next to no feel for them, and once the car starts to break away if I don't react absolutely instantly I can't save it, which ends up with me unable to push at all in races.
Do we have to apply, or are we magically still in the championships ?
I think I still see passwords
