Hey Wally, you might need to check the Sandown version on the server.
I've d/l the track from the link in the Schedule page but AC says 'track is missing'.

2+2=√16

The kerbs here will probably kill me, cos I like to ride the kerbs, but they're half the height of the car. The big ol' Fairline might have a better time over the kerbs here.

One of the reasons I chose the Fairlane.
I'm still traumatized by curbs from the kart season..... :o ;D

It might be the angle you’re hitting them at and what you’re doing when you hit them. I had a quick run yesterday and I was driving it like a supercar, just much slower ;D For me the biggest issue was the curbs before the back straight but they were much easier when I turned in a lot earlier than I should and just rode over them. If I tired to down shift or brake hard I crashed 😉

Tough night for the MGA.  Race one I just watched the field pull around a second a lap on me and disappear into the distance.
Race two was more interesting with some early action seeing my jump ahead and then be chased down by the big guns.
Race three was a slow drift to the rear as everyone gradually went by.
The MGA was nimble in the corners but held up by the bigger cars so couldn't really take much advantage of it, and the straights . . . well there was no contest!
Wakefield next week looks like a different story though . . .

I believe the MG will strike back at Wakefield.
I, on the other hand, expect to experience the "slow drift to the rear".....

Wow, looking at the results I really didn’t expect the Austin to be so quick here compared to the Fairlane!

You guys are doing laps already?! No wonder I can't keep up this season! Need to pull my finger out and start doing laps before race night.

The Austin has the same top speed but better cornering, Sandown is perfect for it.
