    Yea that was good fun. @Rolz and I were pretty evenly matched so it was pretty close for about half the race.

    I had a look at both of the incidents involving old mate. Yours it looked like he spun the rears up on the astro. The one he got me on was definitely deliberate. He didn't even attempt to brake. He gave me another tiny tap when we were going past him again but this time he spun into the wall so I got the last laugh :D.

    Anyway it was good racing in a fun car, apart from that last little Micky Mouse section. Those three corners are an abomination.

    Great little car and track combo, I also enjoyed the Escorts and AC Cobra on that track.
    Sorry for the take out before the first corner on the first race @Rolz. We were side by side and as soon as I applied the brakes, my car just jumped left into you.

    All good mate, had a chuckle thinking you starting to drive a bit more with ur elbows out! :D
    Should be a good race Monday!

    The following Monday after the Lotus I want to try something different... It’ll be a “No Guitar Hero” Fun Run...
    This will mean 15min before practice starts @KoAStR will message me the car/track combo and I’ll load that up.

    We’ll all be starting fresh (I’ve asked for a not common car/track but still be Kunos selection)
    I think should be very interesting... still have to decide if I do a 45min or 2x22min race...
    Thoughts?

    Hehe this sounds pretty cool. I think that sort of event lends itself better to sprint races. Might get a bit frustrating having to run 45 mins in a car that misbehaves a bit. 2 races would give anyone who messed up the 1st one a chance to reset and go again.

    It should be a good challenge though. I don't reckon I would've got the 240R the way I like it in time for a race.

    I’ll second the sprint over fully race option.

    Was fun while it lasted, I especially liked the qualifying part :)
    Well done on winning both Rolz.
    Can’t say this is a car I would want to race for a season though, just not really my style of handling.

    Yea it doesn't like turning on the brakes. I turned ABS off for a lap to see if I could do a better job than the electronics . I reckon I locked both fronts going into t1 at ~40% brake pressure.

    agree first tap on break before entering a corner always seemed the front locked and would slide... found almost a double tap on certain corners (T3 especially was one) seem to help that issue... was a challenge thats for sure!!

    I won't find out until 15min before prac starts so no-one has any advantage of getting hours of practice in... rock up and do as best as u can... as close to a blank slate as possible
    Content is Kunos
    Race will be Monday 21st January
    Will have 2x 22min Sprint (no compulsory pit) with 2nd race reverse grid.

    Nice idea @Rolz and @KoAStR :thumbsup:. That was a bloody fun couple of races. The little Alfa surprised me a bit, it turned out to be a pretty neat car.

    Also the moto layout is so much better than the GP layout...

    I think those 2-3 laps of Mael, Andy and I battling it out were arguably the best close racing I’ve had in ages too :thumbsup:
