there seem to be a few complaints about the performance, although it was fine for me - maybe the rFactor GP79 (generally upgraded GPL) tracks are heavy on the GTL engine.

I'll keep an eye on those.

Also, let's not worry too much - Monaco is always going to amplify any mistakes, so minor twitches that wouldn't be anything on an open track become major moments in the pricipality.

Rouen is nice and open for Thursdays races, so let's get back on the horse and try again. :good:

i did a few laps in the Alpha before the start, but they weren`t pretty, kept loosing the rear under braking. but with a setup tip from Stu helped there, plus realizing i didnt have to brake for the chicane after the tunnel helped to lol. by lap 8 and after 2 spins i started to get to grips with the car.

2nd race in the mini was better, qualified 3rd but went backwards at the start with tons of wheel spin, but was soon backup to 3rd and knocking in some nice laps i caught up with Warren a couple of times and had great fun trying to keep up.

3rd race in the lotus was very hard, the lack of speed meant keeping up corner speed was crucial, but i found it the hardest car to drive, i struggled badly under braking and could only brake in a straight line got a small tap from warren probably caused by a little lag and me braking early but no harm done.
good job these cars dont brake easy as i entertaining Warren with my pin ball impression.

great nights racing many thanks Stu and RD :good:
