Could be fun in its organized chaos type of way seeing its only a very short lap there will be lots of passing and lapping. Not a very easy place to pass unless you really have a faster car that is but in this case the exos is a little silly quick amongst these.

If we know how many starters there will be then just divide the car allocations evenly to get an even mix of all cars so not everyone can pick the same car. Would be quite funny if everyone had an exos and Guybrush gets given an alfa.

I'd like to add one more note to the miura: it feels too heavy.  Especially compared to the alfa.

Wow, thanks all for getting into this, ahh I like XGN.
So: Marty, sorry, like rooshooter, at 61 my reflexes are 'challenged'  :D and I would like to try all 3 cars, what ever they are in the 3 races.
I have updated the initial post with Birds work , thanks.
I have also opened an invitation to AVM.org.au guys if they would like to try AC, lets hope some have time.

The Alfa's fun, but the Lambo is another one of those cars with a pile of bricks in the rear end that just goes wherever it feels like.

Once the rear of the Lambo starts going it just keeps on going...maybe due to big 12cyl in rear...

Bruce, were you planning to put the Lambo up on the practice server?

Hi Bruce , you must have missed a previous post of mine where I said I could not
join the practice server I come up as blacklisted. I also think the Lambo is just too rear end heavy
but the Alfa is great.1min 8sec laps are achievable..the Ferrari F40 is 1min 6 secs for me at least, have not
 yet tried the cobra.

I have just done some laps in the Cobra and for me 1 min 8 secs is standard.

I think the Alfa, Cobra and F40 would be a good mix.

There's a trick to the lambo.  It's possible to keep the rear on a light slide under moderate throttle, and that'll get you around corners very quickly.  But you must not lose your cool; if you give it a bit more than it wants to handle it'll kick the rear off immediately :)

Guys, Go try out the latest release of the Lambo and turn the sound up - V12 noise, best sounds yet IMHO  ;D

I have put in a couple of laps, it isn't that great... I think it handles like a real car!  hahaha
and the sound says.... 'RUN IT ON THURSDAY!!"

The best part, very little to setup, i am a no setup type racer....
