Tried the 296 at Yas Marina circuit experience. Need to get a bit used to the car, but what a lovely sound it makes! Awesome! I'm a mid DR B driver at best, but I can gold the circuit experience within a few goes. So the bar's not very high.
Now more ontopic: I don't see any big changes to sport mode? Apart from the fact that today I encounter less dirty drivers. And lo and behold: then I can make it to the podium! All top 8 finishes today. Maybe the penalty system has gone stricter? Let's hope so.
There was one weird race start where P1 - P5 started normally, and from P6 (me) onwards the cars stayed almost stationary in the final turn (race B) and started after only 12 seconds. So after that start I was leading the rest of the pack. Was a little less hectic without cars in front. Still finished P4 because 2 of the leading group spun out.
