Well, last night was interesting!
It was good to see all three car-types out on track in the first race - but the pace of the Holden became apparent and (with the possible exception of Giorgio - in the Nissan?) I gave up on the Volvo for race 2 onwards.
Quite a few incidents through the evening, but no obvious toys out of the pram - which I hope reflects on both the acceptance that ‘these things happen’ as well as the knowledge that the next race is just a few minutes away.
Everyone seemed to get on with the fixed default setups ok - but they didn’t guarantee tight racing and I don’t plan to make them a future feature - unless, as was the case this week, we ‘needed’ to find out how the cars stack up against each other.
We’ll give the 190e a shot next - the full DTM mod might look interesting but we don’t generally want people to need paid content to race. The only (rare) exceptions tend to be for official tracks that most people will have invested in anyway.
The server is already up but, as usual, I don’t plan to finalise the track choice until the weekend. We‘ll definitely race Vallelunga one of these days - but might start the 190e’s off somewhere a bit more flowing. Feedback on a postcard before Saturday, please!
