Turns out it's just the cars that are slow. (it was just after testing the Exos though )Time to relaaaax.

Did a few laps in both tonight and the Abarth was about a second faster for me... I did start in the Alfa first and did about 17 laps then drove the Abarth... dunno if it was because the Abarth was a manual but it was more a more enjoyable drive...Alfa has only street tires where Abarth you get semi-slick option.Not a wide road and blind corners will make the race very interesting indeed tomorrow!

Still guys not shifting can paddle but I much prefer manual for these little cars.I checked a couple tracks in RSR and the 2 are are near identical in lap times with only .1 to .2 between them at all tracks I checked. Maybe guys that use a shifter can get the manual version and those that paddle get the other one just in case paddles are slower in the manual one. « Last Edit: January 05, 2015, 11:25:02 PM by marty » Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11033 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Jan 6 Fun Race: Abarth EsseEsse and Alfa Giuletta at Baskerville « Reply #22 on: January 06, 2015, 07:50:33 AM » The new version of the Alfa has paddles, but yes, we can use the shifter version (for everyone). It's more fun.

Im sure the car is done well but I prefer the more pointy Abarth between the 2.Race 2 I mostly followed an ever shrinking Threepwood after a bit of action early so mostly a hotlap session.

Race 1 - I honestly did a Bradbury... Guy and Bacchulum took each other out and I ended up being 2nd behind Marty... I have yet to move to the next level of driving before I come close to being able to pass, but I was able to stick relatively close... Then I think with 3 laps to go Marty just went wide I zipped past... pretty stoked.Race 2 - Had a shocker of a first corner, bumped into Marty (all my fault) and spun all the way to last... got back to 9th, but those Abarth's just didn't have the oomph down the straights for me... I would catch the Alpha's, but then on the straights they would pull away... Race 3 - well that was just wait for Guy to catch and pass... I was pretty consistent in the 1.13's every lap and I just see Guy doing 1.12 so it was only a matter of time.Car choice for me was the Alfa over the Abarth... Abarth's arse would slide out too much for me... maybe my driving didn't like the higher pressure in the back. Plus I prefered the slightly more speed on the straight for the AlfaCheers!
