There is that long right hander that suddenly tightens up, almost like a second turn, and I kept missing it and going over the grass where there is a sign.

Was pushing the car too hard at the start of practice which really slows it down. Found earlier gentle progressive braking and slowing enough that I didn't loose traction was the key. As fun as they are to drift, it's not quick. Even had to be careful with the throttle not to nail it too quickly. A little bit like the Cobra in that way, but nowhere near as delicate.I think I got 5th, 4th and what would have been 2nd if the baby didn't wake on the final lap. He was alseep next to me and suddenly sat upright so I had to bail off and get him before he fell off the sofa Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11033 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Fun Run: 15-9-2016 « Reply #26 on: September 16, 2016, 08:03:13 AM » Quote from: Joe on September 15, 2016, 09:23:20 PMWell that was loads of fun.

I also was braking quite slowly and gently by the end of the night. It's a fun car.

Would have liked another race... But a bit late. Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."
