Ugh what a horrible horrible combo this new TT is! This one is going to separate the men from the old men. My poor reactions need a much slower car to work with.

Early thoughts are that I might have to settle for silver this time. Good luck with it guys
idem for me.....7 or 8 laps to see, I'm already at full speed and 3 seconds from the silver medal...☹️🤔🤔

it's too fast for my 75 years....😂😂

I got gold at Daytona but I may have to settle for bronze at Monza......and I hate the first 2 chicanes....just like the one at Spa...😡😡

well, I'll still try for silver......if I get a bit closer, otherwise....:cheers::gtpflag:

I'm reluctant to try Monza. So back to Brands Hatch I went tonight. I don't know if it is the physics update (or maybe the questionable paintjob, albeit slightly less garish than what @Dan_Tes used :lol:), but it took me all of 10 laps to better my previous fastest time by a tenth and a half. I was much more consistent in sector 4 especially. Had I bothered to run any more laps, I'm sure I would have improved more.

Well, isn't that car something? I am not finding the thing twitchy or unstable, no desire for csa for example, but yeah she's a bugger to get on the throttle with. There's no real sign either, if you're 1 degree too much steering angle boom, you're off, no slide or subtlety....just off.

The tough part is actually the kerbs, there's no give in thr suspension so she just kicks and bucks and you bleed a ton of time in the first two chicane if you get the sausage kerbs wrong.

I managed a 27.2 , I feel like I could find a second but not two, silver again as with Daytona I suspect but it's a much more enjoyable experience so won't mind giving it lash for 2 weeks.

I tell ya what, trying to drive a group 3 car after this f1 car was brutal, took 10 minutes to recalibrate my brain.
