Yeah can set the gearbox to loads of different settings, automatic included.
I need to set my pace notes to come a little earlier as that will help but I'm still 2 minutes of the pace I think.
Can confirm its amazing, difficult! But amazing.
Got a section hooked up right in the escort preview event and managed to be a second ahead of the field, felt like a god. Next corner I gave it slightly to much throttle and lost about 20 seconds having to shift down to reverse turn round and...
Yeah, your never going to remove the risk to drivers completely, that's just a factor of the classic cars.
Spectator safety needs addressing I'd say though.
As you say there are accidents each event, and with the amount of racing they get through its no surprise.
I think the seriousness of these accidents is what is shocking, and it's all to do with the circuit. I think I saw on Pistonheads earlier someone said how modern circuits are branded...
No you definitely wouldn't! Did you see the AC Cobra that had a nasty smash into the wall. Looked expensive!
That's what is fantastic about all the goodwood events though, they get used properly and it would be a real shame if they had to make it more tame, but equally this weekend seemed a...
It is quite a shocking crash, the wheel managed to miss anyone and amazingly no one was in the tunnel, although there was a rather more serious one later in the day which resulted in the guy getting airlifted to hospital.
I was watching the live stream for the second one and you knew it was...
I'm properly laughing here, that's even better than I'd thought it would be.
Yeah I saw Roddisons had some issues with them, to be fair they only need 200hp to make them perfect from what I hear.
Looks very nice, do you just leave your camera in the same place and take your cars to it? I don't think I've ever seen a picture in a different location haha.
BBR do a turbo for these don't they?
Really nice, I think I'd want the coupe just so I could have my seatbelt handed to me every morning.
Can see the appeal of the undercover saloon though!
Had my first experience of a someone going rogue in the DZ, b*****d. Thought he was reviving someone so walked away, turns out he was being a treacherous toad.
Started playing with the matchmaker now which makes it loads better, although it did seem to jump me in with some people part way...
Blimey that's a rather big accident!
I'd love to race in one of the mx5 championships one day, they always look great fun. Quite surprising how quickly they get around for a little 1.6 as well!
I caved and bought this last night. Should be here today so I can get some time in over the weekend.
Does the matchmaking work well as I've not got a group of friends that play online much so will probably need to use it fairly often.
It needs the 72,000 mile service very soon unfortunately so Recaros won't be on the cards for a little while.
That's the first priority as its on 68,000 but is just getting to 6 years old.
I have really noticed the difference to the mx5.
Mine was probably similar to yours in that it has a full interior and was quite plush for an mx5 yet this 200 just feels so much different.
Everything's lighter to use and as you say more refined. Feels very odd at the moment.
