Well, that was a lot more fun that I expected, to be honest!
Once you get the hang of these things they're great fun to drift around. Really enjoyed the start of race two battling with two of you for the first couple of laps, and then the recovery drive after I spun off.
Never raced these before, but I now think they're severely underrated in terms of fun factor. A decent sized grid would probably require a relaxation of our usual club rules, since driving and especially passing in these things is as much luck as it is skill. But I reckon it would be a good laugh.
That turned into a bit of a nightmare.....
To be honest mate, I think there was something wrong with the game. When practicing alone in the VW, my steering also pulled hard right. I believe the same happened to Morne in the VW too. Then I was first on the server, but when others joined I couldn't see them on track. Their names were in the list but their trucks were not visible, and the monitor function just showed a camera flying around and clipping through terrain. Then I saw at least two people connecting/disconnecting, seemingly unable to stay on the server.
So yeah... there was definitely something going on, so it wasn't just you.
