Having some great racing in the car. Finally a proper touring car. It takes curbs well, can bump and rub and run two wide, and it's FWD

The only problem is I can't race it unless the race splits. Some of the Caddy drivers are 1-2 second slower than the Kia race pace...

Having done 2 races (one not worth talking about, lol) in the Caddy, yeah, some are so hopelessly slow, lol.

It's very fun though, I guess because the car (Kia) is easier to handle less experienced guys tend not to drive like knobs when they get lap, like in GT Challenge... As in trying to be too nice and ending up almost killing you. (Slow way down on the racing line, not wanting to take the corner to let you go inside when you are right behind, etc...)

Yes, the good old point-and-throttle save trick is great. Once you remember to do it, you rarely lose the car unless you're off track already.

Now this one was a fun race
