Thanks for running in Wally's absence Marty. I enjoyed the races. 2 tracks worth of stress in the RUF was enough however!!

Yep, thanks Marty. My internet only just came back. Pain in the a$$. Two Tuesday's without racing... I'm getting the shakes :)

It's a pity, because I was looking forward to these RUFs.

Bad luck Wally, shame you missed it was a fun night of racing. My pc managed to crash once in each qualy session but it survived each race, I will be away a few day but will roll back to win 8 as this is beyond a joke with the NV drivers for me in win 10.

Results For the nite, only a small turn out of 8 but was some good racing.

Race Wins To Guybrush and Phil with the overall podium to Marty, Mael and Guybrush.

I'm quite excited.  I just bought a V-slicer online.  As a result I haven't had a chance to do any decent practice.

so coleslaw for the next few days at your house! oh and don't forget the band-aids.  Did you get a set o steak knives with it?

Even though I came last on the night I did spend most of Race 1 & 2 hounding Rolz which was great fun. I just wish he'd cracked under the pressure!!

Yep, good fun last night.

I quite enjoyed the RWD and nursing the throttle ever so slightly out of corners.  If ever there was a car to teach good throttle control, this is the one.  Just make sure to turn TC off.  I left it on for the first race and off for the second - leaving it off was much more fun although you still need to be careful with it on.

I tried the AWD for a couple of laps last week and didn't like it.  Very understeery on throttle out of slower corners.

Thanks for administering Martian!

I didn't like the RUF when it first came out, but I learned to love it by entering corners more slowly and focussing on the exit. I cured understeer in the AWD with less rear camber, so the front bit a bit more.
