I do well on Monza Junior but it drives me batty every time. That first nasty turn just after the bits is a real pain. Not as much of one as the chicane just before the pits though. That said, those two turns are where I tend to pass...

Before that though completed the Mustang challenge in the single player mode to earn some cash, with the stang one question kept coming to mind "Why are the brakes made of wood?":lol:
Running a 'stang in the TC-65 Grand Prix season. After race after race at the wheel of the Cortina, I fell in instant lust with the Ford. I don't drive 'cornering' cars as well as those with good acceleration. Helps me compensate for my mistakes.

Can't win a race in the Jaguar Mk II, but I love driving it.

Anyway, when i get more practice in maybe we could have some Subsim race or something.
Love too, but I'm on sat. internet and that half-second latency is a killer. I'd be yearning for something better except I just got this after years of dial-up and I'm loving it despite the drawbacks.

Right now my facorite cars to drive are the AC Cobra 289 and the GT350, the standard mustang though i concider to be completely hopeless, though the Falcon is nice. The Cobra i love for its responsiveness, acceleration and for the fact that its about as forgiving as a mother in law, the GT350 is just a fun car to get sideways.
About Monza junior, yeah i agree, the first turn is a tough one, its really dificult to get a good line through there and if you mess that up your entry to turn 2 and possibly ever 3 are messed up, the chicane itself isnt too bad, but the braking area before it is what makes it tricky.
As a side project I'm going to spend most of my time in the Porsche RSR though, going after the WR in one of those bests, probably on the Zolder circuit, lovely place.

Haven't got a Cobra yet. On the test drives with one, I found it to be a wee bit too responsive I'll have to wait to 'own' one to fiddle with the setup and see if I can make it more Vlad-friendly.

You might get it a bit more Vlad friendly, but it is incredibly unfriendly by default and thats something you can not beat out of it. The nastiness holds especialy true for the Cobra 427, even though run faster laps in it than the less powerful Cobra its a bit too much of ah andful for me to successfully race it.

I'll probably learn to drive it, as it's one of the cars that made me go 'oh man...' when I was considering buying the game.

Looking forward to the challenge, actually. Got one more race in TC-65 (came in fifth at Spa after a guy in an Alfa-Romeo bumped me off the track when I was in the lead on the last lap...revenge will be mine!) before I advance.

It is a fun car to tame, thats for sure.

Captain Vlad 03-24-08 01:36 AM

Gonna make my attempt soon. Finally got past the TC-65 Championship, bought me a new 289 to celebrate.
