Well, that was a bit of a learning experience for me and for once I didn't have to leave the track in the process.
I think it's fair to say that the McLaren is the reason I stopped racing other sims for offline and switched almost exclusively to AMS2. I just found it so much fun around my favourite tracks and the AI seemed to behave well in the class, so when the event was organised I was so elated and re-arranged things so I could take part. Then I put in a bit of practice and it totally blew the wind out of my sails. I couldn't stop the damn thing spinning under braking and it just wanted to push on corner exit. I even ended up changing the setup, which is normally a big no-no for me as I tend to make it worse going anywhere near that screen. So, after reading Neal's comment, I decided to quickly try out the other two and found I could go around the track in the Porsche without much incident. I was a bit reluctant to change at such short notice, but figured I'd just use the race time to get acquainted with a new car. Holy hell what a difference. Way less skippity skip, gentle over-rotation on exit and whilst I was braking later than in the McLaren, the car was giving cues that I was actually too early. It's certainly taught me to spend a bit more time trying out other cars on unfamiliar tracks.
Thanks again for organising @Redvaliant!
