RESULTS

Race 2 results are a bit odd, the winner did 7 laps in a 6 lap race yet never led the race :)
really need some proper results features in AC

Good night O' fun last night.

I don't mind the Escort, but people in the official forums seem to be going gaga over it.  To me it is just a bit too slippery - not that it's uncontrollable - but that it's a bit frustrating as you just feel like you should be able to go faster.

The Abarth was a little beast.  Once the gearing and handling was adjusted to it was quite fun.  It seems like it can almost turn on a dime.  It's the first time I've heard Marty complaining about a slippery rear end upon entry though.

How did you do that, no option to change gearing on my garage?

I meant adjusting to driving around it, not changing the ratios themselves.  3rd seemed too short and 4th too tall for most corners.

Lot of fun last night, great to be back after what feels like a long time off! The little one is 8 weeks now so guess it's around that long.

Escort was slippery as GB said and I found it a bit tricky; was trying to go in slow in and not spin the wheels, but ended up with people closing on me. One of the randoms got too frustrated trying to pass me and spun me around on the last turn of the race loosing me 2 places.

Abarth was loads of fun once I stopped driving it like the Escort and realised how much grip it had. Fist race was going great and go into 4th until the last lap where I put it around the first corner a bit quick and couldn't hold the slide taking some people out in the process (Gratulin?)  :-\

The Abarth felt a bit weird to me at first, with its FWD turn in, but once I started chucking it into the corners more and flooring it once the front wheels were pointing in the right direction, I had a lot more fun with Marty in the final race.

The Escort... it didn't really do that much for me.
