Default I x-crossed yesterday...

A few comments:

Pre-face: I have only raced a few times and that was in a 93 RX7 R1. Totally different experience! This course was set up for high HP cars. It was a very fast track with 3 slaloms and several fairly wide sweepers.

The car has more than enough power to exit the corners fast. Entering the corners is very tricky! Enter too quickly with VDC on and it cuts out and brakes on you. Enter too quickly with VDC off and it sometimes plowed the front end.

With VDC off, it is very easy to oversteer. You do however have to really time it perfectly or you will either plow the front or waaay oversteer.

I have to say, as a fairly inexperienced track driver, the car can be a little tough to drive on a course. I tried to force my inputs rather than making smooth entries. It will be easy to get better with this car. It has the capability to run with anything in it's class. (with a better driver)

In summary,

The car is a blast to drive. The term Japanese muscle car comes to mind.

Comments from other drivers that have raced would be appreciated.
