What about now?
Third every time Jocke, stupidly slow entry, and early on the throttle produced the best compromise of pace and consistency for me. My first attempt in fourth had me wide on the exit, dammit!
In the second race, with an oil change and a better understanding of the track, I got off to an early lead and managed to not make any mistakes! Zolon capitalized on my first tail slide on the 6th lap, passed for the lead. Great driving!
I actually found the CS tires easier to drive consistently fast with no TC. I could feel the car and if you're delicate with the inputs she'll telegraph exactly what's going on so you can correct in time. I enjoyed driving that car in the end!
So for my future reference do we always race on comfort softs and no driver aids except abs, oil changes are allowed? Looking forward to the next round!
I really enjoyed that battle Zeus, and the one with Hakan, Jocke's bonkers track certainly made for tight racing with a surprising number of places with overtaking potential.
Glad you are liking comfort tyres, and Paul's right, we do tend to use them almost all of the time. In fact, most in the club came together by joining Jocke's Z8 Club, which moved on to being a Comfort Tyres club, then when Jocke's work commitments forced him to step back a little, we became Racers Reunited.
And last night Gamer lived up to that, reuniting with us after a considerable break. Great pace Gamer, considering the technical nature of the track and your lack of time on it.
Purple cars were thin on the ground Suts
Yeah Suts, you would have loved it, ten on the grid! Fantastic.
Chaps, as I suspected, I'm having to miss next week, taking the wife up to Yorkshire to shove her off a cliff strapped to some bloke with a parachute. Should be fun. So, any suggestions welcome.
So, that takes us through to Tuesday 31st May, after which I recon it'll be about time for a change.
As a last hoorah I'm thinking of running the Ford GT '05 at a circuit I've knocked up. It goes by the name of Weeee!, on account of the fact that there's a point on it where the GT will reach 300KPH, and that makes me go weeee! I chose the GT because I had tested loads of supercars there and it was the one which allowed me to do lap after lap with incredible consistency. It's user-friendliness is amazing, even on C/S.
Please have a go on the circuit and let me know what you think, I don't want to impose something that's too extreme, as my tastes can sometimes be.
Cheers, Zo.
