The alpines won't be going that fast to go splat will they?

Give it a go and see how you get on :wink2:

The bridge is above a really tempting bend - put the nose in too early, you hit the near side - turn it in too late to avoid the near one and slide off into the far side. It's pretty much flat out in 4th.

I'd say that's fast enough for a modicum off splattage.

 

[Nigel Atkins]

well i did promise, so stick me down pls stew

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Hey Nige :good:

Yeh tell me about it. Just did about half an hour practice, good thing I did too! I think that bridge will need to be rebuilt after I nailed it a good dozen times....
And what a bastard of a car the Alpine is on cold tyres! GRR
Guess i've gotta change my driving style from wannabe drifter to something a little less flamboyant lol.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Mwuahahahaha! :sinister:

 

[Glenn Morris]

But I dont need DISADVANTAGING! I need ADVANTAGING!

lol.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Got to tell you Glenn, after watching you practice on Saturday/Sunday, I think "wannabe" is doing yourself down a little, some excellent sideways action I thought. :good:

The contrast between the Stang & the Alpine as CotM is deliberate, by the way :wink2:

 

[Andrew Evans]

apparently the name glenn is derived from the ancient greek for drifting. true story.

 

[Glenn Morris]

Lol. Thanks, I aim to entertain... must be that Skyline driver coming out in me!!!!:smile-big:

Holy crap! The skin pack for this event is huge! But they do look rather shmexy, so it's worth it methinks...

Contrasting COTM hey Stuart?? Can't wait for the next car, probably something with an epic amount of power, that doesnt handle for crap... (ie powerslides!!!!)
HAHA!!!!!

You might think that...I couldn't possibly comment. :angel2:

Well it's smaller than the one for the Mustangs, with about twice as many cars in the pack, so I reckon that's good value.

Also, I didn't create this one - someone called cy33 did (but I really liked it), so there aren't some of the "shortcuts" that I occasionally use on the skin packing.
