I had another brief practice last night on Charade (I think we all know Nurb well enough
). I've driven this track in Evo in the past - Minis & Audi R8 Prods.
Those brand new, high tech (relative to the GTL cars
) cars, relatively heavy (to the Elan) cars can make some of the corners in Charade seem relatively benign.
Get in the Elan though, and those little crests and dips suddenly come into play, a bit like how the crests @ Jops were harder in the lighter Alfas / Cortinas than they were in the heavier Muscle cars.
But - get those corners right in the Elan, and it's simply glorious, because you know that
you got it right, this chassis doesn't cover up any small mistakes. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful car, and it allows you to put the car where you want it to be, but if where you want it to be turns out to be wrong, it'll tell you.
I expect this to be a very good race event.
