Yellowbird... 
The key to winning is not how hard you can drive it, but rather how smooth and settled you can keep the car. Understand what the slip angle of the car is, and how you can manipulate weight transfer front to rear will be key. Trust me, adding a little throttle to set the rear of the car goes a looong way. Nice pick.

Yeah, I found that out as soon as I left the other room with you...and went to fix it right away.
It is good now...but thanks for the heads up just the same!

I have completed reviews of 4 IRs this week.
Sweet, I bet the severance package is better than the salary!

Just a little interesting follow on regarding the Tommykaira ZZ-S.
In 2002, Tommykaira was bought out by Autobacs and this led to the production of a car people here would probably be more familiar with, the ASL Garaiya, which is based on the same chassis and powered by the same engine.

PRIZE A ANNOUNCEMENT
Autumn Ring Mini, 40 second lap time
RUF CTR "Yellow Bird" '87
534pp, 485 HP, SS, 1150 kg
I love a challenge as in IIITrick"s combo 3 last week. Please, please, please practice because sliding is slow. I already hear the comments. "This will be the fastest one & done ever." "What the 🤬 were you thinking?" "This is a steward's nightmare".As I said, I love the challenge of controlling the uncontrollable. That's the part of racing that I lIke most. I've waited patiently about a year to win prize A with this baby. I hesitated, gave some other cars [& karts] a try but in the end, decided to go with my heart. Embrace. Enjoy. God bless. Oh, and I get an "O" for originality, right? Please don't answer! And most certainly, please don't hate me.
Trick heard the same comments last week about his pick. Whoever is making said comments behind the scenes should shut their pie hole. Congrats on your win and your pick

Hear, hear! I firmly believe one of the main reasons behind the continued success of SNAIL's core Sunday night league is the variety of combos that the format throws up each week. Aside from the chance to meet up with and race the friends I have met here it is he challenge of trying to adapt to the differences which each combo presents which keeps me coming back for more.
Last weekend was my 2nd anniversary racing with SNAIL (@Kgffy 's too) and I am pretty sure that if we were racing a single type of car each and every week I would have moved on to somewhere else by now. Personally, I know that I have become a better driver than I was when I initially joined this fine league and that has been down, in the main, to being willing to put in the effort to try to get a handle on whatever combo is presented to me, whether I like it or not.
The great thing about here is that there is always someone willing to help you to make improvements no matter what division you are in.
So, for what it's worth, my advice to those with extreme combo aversion issues is to quietly embrace, and rise to, the challenge that these different cars/tracks present.
Positivity is key!

My favorite comment was "the fastest one and done in history"...what? Is it going to be eliminated before Sunday night?
All "one and done" combos last the same amount of time. 1 week.

Umm, let's see; I was talking about lap time. Yeah, that's it.

Ahh...I see now, you were projecting possible comments on your combo choice. My bad.

A combo isn't "done" until it's been raced and voted on. Until then it's just a "one".

I just had my first go at this combo. What a treat....brings back the feel of AutoX where car control is key over speed. Definately challenging and a serious lesson in throttle control. I'm not sure where I stack up in speed, but given the fun factor of this car (at least going it solo) on this small track, I don't care. Total concentration to be consistent, and the feel that you really have to work this car makes it a blast. Nice pick.PRIZE A ANNOUNCEMENT

If you are happy with your selection and you thought it out. Then as far as I'm concerned it's a good choice. I'm not a drift racer by nature or choice. That being said, there is always something that can help improve ones racing knowledge and skill. I have yet to NOT learn something from every combo I've practiced in. They all count when thought and detail is put into them. I just hope I'm not the only one who has little to no experience drifting.

Fish slaps!
Drifting is silly in my book. As a fan of formula one and road racing in general, the idea of losing grip on purpose boggles my mind.

But it's fun!
Plus it can be pretty fast in the RUF... until your tires give up a lap later.Slightly sideways 38's are possible. Very slightly...
