A shame I can't make it most Tuesdays. I just like to mention, that the Escort is worth an own championship.

 

[dbx71]

Nice one. Funny, I had been planning to do the same cars but at Barcelona City Circuit at night... This should be a good one too!

 

[Kek700]

Another great track ruined by that ever present idiot of a chicane maker.

 

[JamKart22]

Sorry, don't think I can get rid of it

 

[JamKart22]

I be grateful if anyone has any setup suggestions for the Escort. I've never driven it before and the default setup doesn't appear to be that quick around here - or it could just be me!

 

[stigs2cousin]

Another great track ruined by that ever present idiot of a chicane maker.

I found his work on many a British track,always the "Separator (TM)" chicane

On the other hand, they work quite nicely to "scrape off" unnerving "Shopping Trolleys"

I agree mate, just go for the 'fast in, even faster out', the flower arrangements on the wall are quite beautiful up close

 

[Alfred Wayne]

Haven't been home to try this add on yet...but this might be more your style ernie

Goodwood Vintage no-chicane

no chicane add-on (irony: almost the whole track is packed here) for rmi-wood's vintage goodwood track Feel free to improve the track or use it as part of your work. Don't ask me for permission regarding any of my mods, you're always welcome to...

[Kek700]

YIPEE... a track that was created before the idiot chicane maker was born.

 

[Kek700]

Is the alfa a separate race the escort seems faster???

 

[JamKart22]

This race was an experiment to see how both cars compare. If we do run them together in a championship then we can either do a multi-class or BOP the faster car.

If the Escort is way faster then this race is probably an unofficial multi-class

If everyone could have a go with both cars on the server then we'd get an idea of the difference.

 

[Kek700]

In that case I will use the Alfa, otherwise it is going to be a RS1600 race.

 

[HF2000]

I would choose the Alfa always because of its sound!

 

[JamKart22]

Sounds like a trumpet to me! Not my favourite.

Now this is how an Alfa should sound...

There is a great mod for this car, so looking for the right circuit...

Fonteny maybe?

All Fat-Alfie tracks! And the Nordschleife.

Maybe I have a different mod or I remember it not correct.

 

[gearwhine]

The Escort is a little faster and less understeer at the limit and makes it an easier car to drive i think. I have raced that Tipo33/TT12 spyder before, it is available to us i think. Right Han?

I gave a RD link in my post, so for me that means its ok.

If anyone would like to give this a go then I've setup a practice server on the Nordschleife - with a view to a race the following week. Same password. Reminder that the car mod is here

I'll be interested to see the times
