Same reason I have for disliking S2000 cars. Buzzy.

Exactly, and the worst part is - those high revs are making me agressive which makes me forget about "safe and slow" driving, I just want to push. And of course when I push - I crash.. Grr, Have to get past that

Pretty similar. Lighter on the front in my opinion so the setup will need to dial in more front bite or just softer front shocks to get it to feel as it was but the chassis and general characteristics are still there. Without the turbo the top speed is much closer to the other S2000s now and with that has come vastly increased acceleration.

Softer front and a change in the brake pressures should make for just as good a car as the S2000 version with the turbo bolted on.

I tried yesterday the Mini "S2000" and the car is a much faster than the other S2000.

In Bisanne tarmac mod, with default I did 3.52. With a normal S2000 I never did that time.

I did not test the car in gravel or snow.

Rick Bamford · Mar 22, 2012

The default setup has been changed with the S2000 Mini. It now runs shorter gearing than before so on a twisty stage like Biasanne it would be MUCH faster. Try it on Frazer Wells and see how fast it is.

Well, I`ve experienced situations when my cellphone starts to ring and it is so loud that I cant hear the pacenotes, thats just insane.. but it makes you to pay way more attention to the road though

I have tested the MINI vs Peugeot 207 on gravel at Harwood Forest and was slightly quicker in the 207.

I like my Evo X. It makes that funny noise when you go off the throttle. And it handles like a goddess

Bah Peugeot.

Just a quick question, in Round 2 if I retire on stage 13 does the time you set on stage 14 count?

Can't move posts, so I'll just quote Manuel here, and delete the posts from Points Tables later.

The team's championship is ridiculous, it should be based on outright points, an S2000 team leading with S2000 points and us with real points in second, it's much more difficult for us to score points

Already covered a few times. It's class points, and designed that way to give everyone a chance to fight for it, instead of having 2-3 teams.

Manuel De Samaniego · Apr 11, 2012

Oh thanks Senad, I thought the driver grades existed to give everyone a chance, the team's championship should be like the outright IMO

If it were like that, there would be 2-3 teams fighting for it, since almost nobody outside the WRC cars would score points consistently. Not much point for a teams championship with 3 teams.

Anyway, the main goal is to give something for everyone to fight for. Especially a chance for slower drivers to compete with faster drivers.

Manuel De Samaniego · Apr 11, 2012

I suggest sepparate team championships for next seasons. It's very difficult for us to win the team's championship, even if we finished 1-2 for every round from now on in the overall and the other team did the same in S2000, they'd still win, and the S2000 championship isn't as difficult as the WRC.

Not compared to some WRC drivers. But trust me - the S2000 field is hard enough!

But, you know. Me and Rick should've been allowed to have a 2WD, then I would've agreed with you

As I said, it's intended to be that way, biased towards the slower drivers.
Also, one is enough, unless you're volunteering to handle it

Manuel De Samaniego · Apr 11, 2012

No no, I prefer to drive

though one isn't enough as you can see, lots of wrc teams in dissadvantage, though if its biased against other classes then no problem. It' just a little bit more difficult for some teams
