Put some times in for the Redbull and Alfa over the weekend.
The Redbull is really a piece of work. My first 3 attempts resulted in spinning out on the exit of T1 which was a surprise. Having to drift through the hairpin at the bottom of the hill is... interesting. This car feels mostly just way too fast for this track, and it also suffers from quite severe understeer (hence why you need to drift through the hairpin). Certainly did not enjoy trying to set a time here, hopefully the time of 1:26.936 remains gold because I really don't want to have to come back to this. Currently ranked 1,018th.
Onto the Alfa at the Glen, this is a much more fun car to drive and it sounds incredible. Unfortunately this trial is ruined by the RNG that is the Bus stop chicane kerbs. 50% of the time, these kerbs turn the car into an uncontrollable pogo stick (particularly in the rear) completely ruining the lap. The rest of the track is fantastic though and very satisfying to push the Alfa around. Current time of 1:14.607 puts me 367th. May come back to this depending on what the next trial is and how much time I have this week.
Ranking at Suzuka has fallen to 431st, probably won't go back there since its a safe gold already.
