hands should be a little "quieter", work on applying throttle sooner, and work on getting jut a little bit of squeak out of the tires in those long sweepers (that means they're at the limit usually...)

care to explain quieter? the noise you hear is some screws i forgot to take out before the run, I know i needed to apply throttle earlier, in the sweepers the car felt like it was on ice.

initial turn-in is a bit rough sometimes, as is your countersteer. Its not all the time, and its not bad, just something to keep in the back of your mind... should help things out

I had no idea, I have won my class lots of times, guess i gotta get used to the deuce again I got used to throwing a GTO around the cones, gotta remember that the 2 doesn't need that much input...

thanks man, I appreciate it, will have some rally x vids sun, prolly. We are doing a tarmac rally x, which is effectively an auto x, except no r comps, and it will be graded by rally x rules, where you add all runs together, instead of taking the best run

switching from a GTO to a Mk1 will certainly throw things off, heh
