GTL '65 Fun Race

[fozzmeister]

I've not driven the Shelby version more than 2 laps, but it seemed better balanced, and faster of course, so I'll be taking that I think :-)

I made sure there was at least one lard-arsed American car on the list, thought you'd bite. 

Lol yeh, I love 'em. I'm doing the last touring car cup with the standard Mustang, really hard work.

Not going to be able to make tomorrow now (which is a pain, I'm much better at GTL than GTR) - got to take the wife out.

I'll catch the next one though.

Wont be able to make it .... US time... I'm off 6:00pm here .

I have been reading about some struggles with the Cobra. I have had the best luck charming the snake with the addition of coast to the diff (40-50%) and I dial in about 13 degrees of wheel lock.... and add springs to both front and rear... about 2 -3 clicks on both.
The springs have made the biggest difference in braking. Still a tough car to drive consistently, but I love the thing.

I am actually gathering parts to build one next year.... check out the Factory Five Racing website.... order the DVD(free) Lots of great footage of in-car and lots of other good gearhead features ( music is weak..but good otherwise).

I've started the server early with a 1h30 min prac session, as I'm going out in a minute. You'll probably have to vote to move to the qual session, please wait until the published time of 8:40 to give everyone a chance to join.

Have a good one.

About 10 of us in the end. Great fun. I took the mini for a change and shagged up a decent position in the first race by spinning and forgetting to depress the clutch with the new manual clutch set-up... doh! Spun from a tap in race two but still placed 4th- the mini rocks around the tight courses! The way they slide left and right and yet you can catch them is brilliant.

Did the mix of cars work fairly well, or were there any people felt had too much of an advantage or disadvantage?

[fozzmeister]

I thought it was OK, I need more practice tho :-)

[PaulW]

It worked very well Aagramn. No one car had an edge, with the minis loosing out on the straights but making it all back in the corners against the American lumps.
