Enjoyed the racing in both of the cars, in this form... "slower cars", I get more out of it, having a few duels a little door rubbing.

You had some good pace there Rolz,  well done.   You took some catching.

Race 1 I got a little tap from behind and went spinning but was kind of fun coming back through the pack.  Although I quickly learnt that you got a cut warning if you went wide on the last corner even though 2 wwheels are on the track.  I ended up getting a penalty with this combined with the earlier shunt but didn't take it because it was a fun race and would just have meant driving around on my own without really making a different one way or the other.

Race 2 was good in the little Abarth.  It was certainly more nimble than the Alpha although something abouttthe way  the Alpha was I didn't mind...  Maybe the speed.   Anyway got a little tap at the rear at the start of the race which made my back red with damage even though it was a fairly innocuous bump.  But I aftertthat kept going to the finish.   I still think damage is too inconsistent and unrealistic in AC

Race 3 I started from the back and the first few laps were fun getting through traffic. Then I was just trying to catch Role and managed to sneak by with a lap or two to go.

It was a fun little track in these and a bit more technical then you think -  especially that blind left hander.

Yeah last night was plenty fun and for some reason I was doing better in the Abarth.
I remember chasing Wally for ages and waiting for a mistake, I knew I couldn't catch up without one, and when he finally did make a boo boo I went in too hard and drove off the track.

But overall a very enjoyable night of racing and can't wait for next week.

Edit: Wally I only just noticed the Blog you have, wow it's really impressive. I really like the circle showing the race positions.

It was a bit of fun for something different. FWD's are a different beast to drive.

I preferred the stability of the Alfa in the end.
