Lets discuss, How’s your car handling? Do you like this track? Who do you think will win this event?

I'm thinking a low-downforce setup for this one - that straight just goes on forever...

*makes a note to check his car for understeer issues

Update: Quoting Chucky's intended opening post

[Saint Dean]

Thats what id go for.

last 3 turns are very slow for low downforce cars.

[RaceProUK]

And you can't cut the kerbs too much, else you hit the slowcrete.

Just ran a few laps last night after the GT3's just to get a feel of the mini.
Catalunya - 1:58.5xx
What is everyone else doing?

[Ax4x Chaddy]

2.01.2xx can go a bit faster i feel

[CQR Rogue]

LOL, bet the mini will be quicker than my GT3 M6 lol.

[Crisis Nine]

The Minis are awesome little cars to drive around here. Can't get under 2 minutes tho.

[RaceProUK]

I have a 450HP 2003 MINI that can get round in 1:50, so it's no surprise it's a struggle to get a ~230hp MINI round in under two minutes.

amazing racing in race 3 between myself and duncan and ian...we were never more than 100 feet away from each other...

just kept trying to be patient and find a good place to pass...but they were all over the road trading paint for like 6 laps!

on the last lap, i had a look at duncan and tried to criss cross on him in the corner and was gonna try to pass going into the hairpin...but slid around on that uphill right hander...

epic racing tonight. just the best racing i've had on here in a long time.
