Did a bit more in the Mid-Engined series yesterday, bought one good car and one not so good. The good? The Maserati MC12. It's exactly how I'd imagined and how it was described back in the day, like an Enzo, but just a little bit better (weird instrument font aside). Just a great car to drive, stable under braking, balanced through low and high speed corners, with great traction and huge power to 300km/h, and just very easy to get consistent, fast laptimes with.

The not so good? Well, I bought myself a McLaren P1 for the next series on the basis that I should try something other than Ferrari V12s. And it sucks. Bulk high-speed understeer, brakes that are only kinda up for the job, and then the turbos spool up and it tries to murder me every so often with almost uncatchable power oversteer. Not loving it at all. And still not really fast enough to catch the GMA T50's even though the performance points would indicate otherwise.

Well, that’s the first Mustang Series out of the way! What is with the AI and new tracks. On the first lap of the unset Peninsula race the AI got confused on the first straight after the start and got all out of shape for an easy pass.
Not wanting too much aggro from the AI I tend to go for very easy opponents, though why at the start (more often than not) one or two cars go off into the distance only to slow down after a couple of miles to let me pass seems strange.
I had an interesting Practice at the Watkins Glen Mustang Race. There was a Camaro somewhat in the way and we had “contact” nd the Camaro flipped over and went over the top of me ending up facing the barrier behind me!
