Stock Renault Avantime on SH or CS. (Stock tyres) Around Madrid... passing would be damn near impossible.. Also the understeer would be hell too (I'd say Monaco too but I'm not a mental
)
The only reason that's a weird idea is because the Avantime itself is so weird!
Otherwise, that's actually a pretty good car/track combo, I think.
It reminds me that I decided to put the
Volvo Estate on Madrid Mini. And I recall chuyler1 (who is
not silly in any regard), clearly thought I was NUTS
to put a long car like that on Madrid Mini with it's awkward turns. But he won that race, and others too. But it turned out to be quite fun there.
I know cc570 has always called Madrid a "high power track". But I have to say I think it works very well with CERTAIN lower power cars, and definitely average road cars (ie: range of 350-400pp).
It's good because it's flat with straight bits but interesting. So you actually don't need a lot of power or performance to make a fun race there.
I always get annoyed when people call it "a dirty track". Like saying that some tracks just make for dirty racing. Well, personally, I think that it's drivers NOT tracks, that are "dirty".
But even so... I think the main problem sometimes is that people get the idea that Madrid is like New York in gt4 or something. It's not good in a shuffle if you put up the pp to 480-500, and then you wind up with 16 cars, Bertones or saloon cars on there.
(trying in vain to go 4-wide through the chicane
)
It's actually quite an excellent track to race with less than 6 cars, and quite good with many cars at lower powers.
I used to hate all forms of Madrid. But now I just think it's about what cars. It really depends on the car.
So what would be the ultimate plan for this?
Run a 3-5 week series, each week doing a different crazy/nut-job/bizarre race each time, tally the points and we would have a champion nut-job?
I hadn't gotten that far yet!!
But that's a great idea!
I really like doing unusual & bizarre race events.
(Though I think I will pass on the karts @ midnight.
