If I had nothing to crash into I'd never make it round a track..So, AOSTA is twisty and long? Is it modeled on a real location? Can't say I recognize the name.

It's the elevation changes and blind corners that are a bit tricky.

Really good fun and educational - how to spin an F40 Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11036 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Thursday Night Fun Racing « Reply #54 on: June 27, 2014, 12:09:53 AM » Quote from: Guybrush Threepwood on June 26, 2014, 09:06:26 PMHow did the race end up guys? I couldn't join as I've been away for work again. Hopefully next week.There were about 6 of us there.We had one race in the Lotus 240R. Every new car takes a bit of getting used to, but it was fun, sliding about quite nicely. I learned that I am way slower than Bird in the hairpin - a fact which he kept reminding me of by ramming into the rear of my car there (accidentally!).Then we tried a 10 lap race in the F40 stage 3. I think all of use were sweating by the end of that race.

I could imagine it being a real handful around Aosta though with all the trail braking and off-balance corners.I'm also with you on that hairpin Wally, a major PITA for me in the few laps I did with Marty Tuesday night.

He spun every time, very nicely Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!" Re: Thursday Night Fun Racing « Reply #57 on: June 27, 2014, 03:03:21 PM » Didn't have much time last night and tired/nto feeling 100% after a cold.I remembered the shorter version, I raced that a few times in Netkar, a great track that I loved the 1600.Rushed most attempts, with some limited tweaking, but Istvan, your changes certainly made the car more drivable. I like the 'realism' that each car is different, I liked using the beta Elise, it was very close to my wife's Elise. Need to apply the same patience here me thinks.Phil found I brake early, hehehe and Rob? and I had a head-on bingle when I lost entering the last corner, sent me spinning for 10 secs and a mile off track!Also noted the tyres take on a lot of debris!

Couldn't decide which way to go to avoid you and ended up choosing neither After I hit you I couldn't find you anywhere. Eventually saw you driving back across some paddock about a mile away Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"

I think I was still too dizzy to remember who it was... but funny how BIG a virtual Lotus can be head on! Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."
