Feels the same. I usually can tell the difference between the different setups but not with this car/track combo. Something wrong with the way I driving. I think my "understeery" driving style has caught up with me! The frontend just pushes wide and when I get on the throttle The back steps out. I am spending most of the lap "coasting" waiting to be able to get back on the throttle.

Push it very gently, then you can catch the moment it tries to let go.But it maybe a pedal issue.

I am still very much learning throttle control. Every now and again I get a sense of the rhythm of squeezing the throttle as you come out of the apex of a corner. Mostly I am just jamming it down and the car can handle it. With this car it is much more sensitive - I am either too little or too much; or too early or too late.

No peanut allergy among those guys. Nor would they give a stuff about your facebook status.They where real men. But they where also terrified of crashing. It wasn't the crash so much, as 99% of the time it resulted in a fire ball. I think it was this era that was the beginning of the introduction of that expensive show stopper. Safety.I also like Carrsel hill.

Not only do they sound different, but they say everything differently as well. No wonder we keep them "all the way over there" with a big deser in between them and us.

I imagine the rear end feels a bit nicer, huh?Dunno about the nicer feeling - but I did find that judging the power out of the corners is easier and since a slide is now more controllable (for me anyway - there isn't that big snap back) I am now getting the hang of this combo. I am also braking deeper into the corner to help the front-end turn in. I assume you guys were already doing that? And thanks Bird for the gentle on the throttle advice - that really helps.I shudder to think what GB, Marty etal will do around here Now, Bacchulum, I'd love to see an update of your time on the Friends Leaderboard Logged Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: Fun race Sep 2: Lotus Type 49 @ Castle Hill « Reply #41 on: September 01, 2014, 06:25:45 PM » Back's buggered atm.
