Lol very enjoyable race tonight, track was brill and some good close battles, had a few laps trying to get past Rob early on, very well matched.
pitted once so went from 2nd to 7th but worked my way back through the grip to finish 2nd overall
who's choosing the next race?

Needs setting up then, which one is it?
My Astra grips amazingly well, the Alfa is not as good but i find the Astra more suited to me as you can get the back out much easier.

Best race by far!
Was some awesome battles, 5 laps or so with Westie was good, picked up some of his lines helped me a bit.
Best was the last lap...... Dave knows why!

in.
It does wiggle a bit on braking but I find you can use that to set yourself up for a corner. Might be easier to control with a wheel too.
Check the braking sensitivity on the diff, and the brake bias. Maybe add 1 to the front brake bias and try again

sorry i wasnt around for this race lads.
Who is still interested in supercharging the mx5? or would a newer quicker car be the prefered option? (not stupidly quick mind you)
the next track is chosen by whoever. completed the race in 6th place (i just rolled the dice).
