Hi Glen, link to the cars is in the first post under cars: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ur4SR45dI2caTO0nb1W1uwENDTCDyZb2/view?usp=share_link
Unzip the download into steamapps/common/assettocorsa/content/cars

Log on to the "Car Dealer" web site here: https://xgnsimracing.com/home (I'll PM you your logon).

The track downloads are then at https://xgnsimracing.com/season/schedule

The practice server is called "XGN.COM.AU - Tuesday Practice - Touring Car Legends", and uses the track here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TslGVIyOlYQVUZe5DjzVLRaitPlg030W/view?usp=sharing
(unzip into assettocorsa/content/tracks).

That should get you started.

After hearing that little Austin snap, crackle and pop on throttle lift off, I’ve got to have it!

Optimal tyre pressures are:

Austin Healey: 40/40
Cortina: 40/40
Fairlane: 42/42
MG: 35/35

Wally, given the delayed start do you mind me swapping cars, the Austin whilst quick was not doing it for me!!

Yes for sure, you can still swap cars until the season starts for real.

What are you thinking….I actually found it hard to make a decision with these cars because they are so different and make their speed in different ways. I loved the noise of the Fairlane, the turn in of the MG-A and the Cortina has so many childhood memories for me but eventually I went with the Austin because it’s snap, crackles and pops like crazy and despite it’s lack of power you can use the throttle to help it turn after the apex which suits my driving style.

[Freezer]

I like the ability to turn over the other benefits. 🤪🤪

I think the Austin is the best car.
It's light enough to brake and turn but still has the power to match the Fairlane's top speed.
But it does have it's peculiar traits.

I'm still gonna sail the Fairlane, though.....

In the trail run, I ran the MG and was matching Brad's Austin for lap times, although I did have a few spins in the MG.
