Ran a few laps. Car is so much nicer to drive without ballast. You can also pull away off the line

Yeah the porsche and opera house are nearly 3000 pieces. Biggest set I have. Was nearly 200 bucks off so couldn't help myself.

Good question. The Porsche is a beast but it was nearly $200 off in Big W so I couldn't help myself. Assume the Caterham will be quite a lot simpler.

Last night at becketts and brooklands I was going straight from 5th to 2nd. If I tried to go through the gears any more than that I think I'd struggle for my feet to keep upI sometimes do shift down several gears at a time, but it depends on the corner. I often go 5-4-2, for example. Thanks Wally. I was trying to heel toe but occasionally when there was a lot going on I wouldn't blip enough then lock up and get the back end out. In some cases that actually gained me some time 1466

I like the constant handicap changes, mixes it up a little, though I'm still convinced I shouldn't have had ballast on my first h-shifter race as it was essentially a double handicap

Thursday Nights fun racing / Re: Round 9: Thursday 8th December - Silverstone (National)« on: December 09, 2016, 11:20:28 AM »Joe, you did better than me. I really suck at the H-shifter. My times were about 1.5 -2 seconds off my "paddle pace". But like Wally and Phil say, the immersion factor is greater so I will stick with it for a while. At least until I end up throwing the thing out the window in frustration. I agree with the immersion rob, was great. In practise before ladt night I was only a 10th faster with paddles but I didnt try paddles for too long. In practise last night i was .5 seconds faster than my paddle pb. Consistency is a bit more of an issue though as easier to make a mistake. Will stick at it though. When I've tried the clutch before it made my ankle hurt but it hurts less in summer. 33 years old with thr ankle of a 73 year old 1468

I didn't do as terrible as I thought first time with the h shifter but was hard to really judge how off the pace I was with my 140kg passenger...
First race I made a couple of mistakes not blipping enough on downshifts and locking the wheels and also a few missed gears though do remember some good side by side action with wally for a bit. Second race managed to avoid the crashes which put me out into 3rd. I was able to keep in clean with less mistakes and pulled away from phil with his even heavier passenger. Was no way I was gonna catch bruce or ley with the ballast but bruce came off and I took 2nd. 1470
