That was an interesting race. Race1 someone spun in front of me and I bent the car. It was perfectly set for oval racing but not too good for hungaroring where you turn right sometimes.
Race 2 was a bit better and I finished 4th. At some point I went up to third but I think one of the leaders had spun out and he didn't waste time catching me.
It seems to me there are a few specialists on this mod that are several seconds a lap faster then us hacks. It is a tough mod to get to know. With Quali tires it drives pretty well but starting with the soft tires on, grip is a bit finicky.
Actually, let me rephrase, grip would be fine if the steering wasn't so jerky at times. I think the steering is dependent on the brakes and give a bit too much brake and the car just goes elsewhere from where I point it. Not always, just sometimes, which is what makes it difficult. It's unpredictable.
I thought there was something wrong with my gear it was so dramatic.
Then I loaded a 1990 mod I have. They are almost the same exact cars and drivers but the driving is a lot more predictable. The grip is similar, but it won;t change direction in the middle of the turn just for the hell of it.
I know I am leaving at least 20% in performance on the track because I am so afraid top spin out. So if someone knows the secret to driving this cars at peak performance, please let me know. I'd love to keep racing this mod, but after the races I am always a nervous wreck
Congrats to the winners.
