I Need a Newb

[Parnelli Bone]

Hey if you're a beginner (if you have trouble getting consistent bronze medals in license tests for instance) I need your help. I'm trying to write about the Alfa Romeo 166 series but I'm too good at driving it.

My racing lines in this car are tight, I always know when to brake so I have trouble discerning how bad this car handles (and I know it handles bad in the hands of a newb) I even tried driving it with a stock suspension & tires with light engine tuning (+170 hp in a 2.0 ts) to no avail.

So I welcome anyone to do this, but especially the more inexperienced folks....drive an Alfa 166 (any of them) but do it with a stock suspension & tires around Trail Mountain, Deep Forest, Grand Valley...any track with unbanked turns (and lots of them). Tell me your impressions. Engine tuning should be light...don't plaster your car with power.

Maybe you should mention what FF car that handles good, for comparison, maybe in the same power to weight ratio.

If I tuned it, I think I will try to reduce the rear sliding and roll. more powered version has less rear sliding, more undesteer too, maybe because heavier front ?

That was going to be the prize for helping with the review...

It's because it has more power.

Nope, I try it again with stage 2 turbo in 166 2.0, same, the 2.0 feels more oversteer than 3.0.
