I think all went quite well (Except that move on Stuart, I overtook him before the final chicane and as I noticed I was well ahead I drove in front of him to get a better line. I hit the brakes fairly late and nearly missed the 'apex-ish spot' but as I got out of the chicane I saw hugh clouds of dust & tyre smoke in my rear-view mirror. No more Stuart in the mirror when crossing the finish
I really hope it wasn't me, I heard something on TS like "
I was trying to avoid Kris's Mini-understeer and try the inside which completely failed"
You did nothing wrong, mate :good:
The Elite & the Mini cornering techniques are just so different, and as I said, I tried to anticipate where you would go, with the inevitable Mini understeer (again, not your fault, just a quirk of that car). I tried to brake early and get on the power very early indeed to slightly oversteer onto a tighter line to avoid and pass you, but I changed down too early (completely my fault) causing my rears to lock up, hence the spin.
Just one of those things, and good fun anyway
* Refreshing as in : more competition between the cars. Unfortunately there's just too much difference in the same class (especially on 1 track).
Perhaps have more strict selections for single track events. I know this takes a lot off effort to find out - especially as it isn't even easy for anyone to drive all cars at their max, on every track! Perhaps it's something we, the measly Earthmen can help with?
Yeah, that's always the quandry with GTL, the classes are hugely disparate - there are a lot of cars out there that I'd love to run, but fitting them in...well, that's the thing. These multi class events are really just fun things to try out cars and figure out which ones you like, don't like etc. They will be semi-regular, so people aren't restricted to the vehicles I choose. But - I'll be using the data picked up from results like last night to look at vehicles that seem competetive, and use them for future events, so it is invaluable, even if it's not immediately apparent in the short term.
Anyone who has any suggestions for competetive car choices are always welcome to let me know (via PM). All I would ask is that any suggestions are accompanied by the times and, most importantly, the track/tracks used to come to this conclusion.
The classes can be misleading, as someone said "The Elite is in the same class as the GT40?", so cross class stuff can be interesting too.
