Wow this car loves this track. About time we found somewhere that made that oversteer work for the old girl. Brilliant fun. Gonna die, but I'll do it with a smile on my face I reckon.
Slip slide in the rain ..... Slip slide in the rainnnnnnnnooooooohhhhhh Ohhhhh !!!!!!!! Cant wait for lap 1 turn 1 sunday night
What times are you guys getting? I am afraid I am going to be wayyyyy off pace as I am not even cracking past 2 min...
I don't know if I wanna say Hatfield, as it just gives the likes of AOCleaner and Jim and tank and mario incentive to practice until they're nearly 5 secs faster. What the hell, I'll only do well in the championship if they all fall off the track. I'm just under 2 mins on SM's but my car was 20hp down so I expect a couple of seconds improvement on a fully reco'd motor, being so many straights.
My biggest concern is the instability under brakes, my car pulls to the right braking for the second chicane, I struggle to keep it off the grass. Going to be an interesting first lap.
Yeah emmo, I get that too. It got a bit better by reducing the brake bias, but not completely gone. Those first chicanes are where you make or lose time (or the car).
I need to fiddle with the brakes on mine, it's so twitchy under brakes, mainly for the 1st and 3rd chicanes. Very easy to over correct the twitch and go off. But I don't want to lose too much of the brake induced oversteer either. The 2nd lesmo in a 4th gear 4 wheel drift is just delicious! Mario is VERY fast here in the wet, he has a good line on the first lesmo and makes dollops of time up there. He will be tough to be beat here I think, especially If he gets a clean break early on. But it only takes one mistake............... To get a good grid spot, you will need to be in the 57's on the mediums.
From what I have seen this week Mario and Turbo have been very quick. I am lucky to get within 0.5sec of them, so far....
The podium will consist of the the three drivers who arent penalised or come of track.... Fastest lap times will count for little if otherwise
