    I'm sorry you missed it too emmo, we had a great battle in the practice race last week.

    Well I'm all turned around about this car. It used to be a dream to drive before the suspension changes. Even on the softs it was quite a handful. I can feel how it is supposed to be driven. You come in faster than normal with high revs, slide the ass into the turn and drive out. Unfortunately for me, knowing what needs to be done does not translate to being able to do it, and while I managed it a few times it was still above my skill level. I found the most stable way to enter the turns was in a gear higher than normal but it was not the quickest way. Only finished 6th in race 1 because I was on softs, and the rest of the time I finished where I belonged. Was just in the way most of the time, and now I hear @Hatfield was on hards while I struggled to stay with him on mediums, all the wind is gone from my sails.

    Will definitely be rethinking my position in regards to the season 6 car.

    Great racing anyway guys.

    Yeah, I was struggling with it too but thought that it must be because the when I drove it in Musta's series it was PP limited, I loved it then and was able to trouble guys who are usually much quicker than me. It is a car where you have to commit to the corner and it has slight oversteer under power which aids corner exit enormously. I have also gone off it.

    There will be two sessions. Time for the second will be dictated on who makes the first and who can make the second. Will have to play it by ear. Happy to keep a room open for you to set a time.

    Early session starting at 7:50. If you miss that I'll keep the room open for late runners to set their times after the reruns.
