I was involved in a race that was 550 pp on sport softs at Bathurst. This car has a very favorable power to wt ratio at 559 pp (for a race car) like...470 horse at 970 kilo's, so I choose it. Ha...I could'nt even turn a lap w/o crashing. So I went back to an easier car. Biggest issue was understeer on turn in and snap oversteer mid corner to exit. Especially up on the hill. I tried many tunes too. Good Luck and may Your racing go well. 8)

I used the car in a offline 5 lap DRC race last night. I fooled around with the LSD and zeroed out the toe. It's not quite there, but it is much better than stock.

I found this car relatively tame (especially after last week). Guess we'll stick to Fiat 500s and Alfa MiTos from here on out  :-\

I don't have a problem with the car choice. I just need to drink more. :)

Hey Now I wasn't trying to disrupt anything. Or cast a shadow on the car or track selection. Or bad talk Hotstepper. I was just sayin this car was a handful for Me, at this track on sport soft tires, personally and that's all. Thank You.
