on the ring
« on: July 31, 2009, 08:22:30 PM »
well,
im at the ring and im pleased and suprised to say the car did very well. it was generally well planted even through 80mph+ bends. It slides nicley when you need it too and the brake fade was not too bad. However, after one lap my tyres were not looking good!!! oh well, looks like im coming back on slicks!!
my car is the only abarth here which suprised me.

I never time my laps. They were quick!

im not too sure, I need new tyres though.
the back straight showed 125mph. I would imagine that was the most.
I was only overtaken by seriously quicker cars than mine. All cars of similar 'type' were no problem (apart from some clio 197's)
