Any advice for driving these cars! They feel a bit funky and I can't quite nail it down. I suspect they have a lot of torque and not really a way to transfer it to the road? Anyway, happy for tips and tricks!

They are very much non aero cars from the 60s with more power than grip. You have to set them up for the corner well inadvance and kinda drift them through. They do like to oversteer on power.

Right, they feel a little weird but I've never driven these half-aero cars. Big tires but little grip then

Thanks for the race guys. Pity we had some disconnects. Awesome cars next week.

Wow... That was a lesson in how to downshift. I'm kinda ok in the slower cars, but everything seemed to be happening a lot quicker in these and I was getting muddled a lot into corners and either going into the wrong gear or misplacing my foot and clipping past the side of the gas pedal

I'm also sweating like crazy! These things might actually be a decent way to lose a bit of pudding

Thanks for organising @Redvaliant

Yeah I left after lap 1, smashed the car full into the barrier. Never had the pace/skill to keep up with you all and I lost the car at the end of lap 1. Decided to go practice a bit in singleplayer and hopefully get a bit better! I was hoping to at least have a few laps behind the pack to learn but alas! That's racing I suppose

Yeah Steve, we guessed you had some kind of technical malfunction. Next week's cars are about to go up. There will be aero, there will be brute force, and there will be darkness on the edge of town.
