AC FWD vs RWD@Lago Maggiore, Wed 29th May 2024

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

This is a beautiful circuit staged near Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy, surrounded by the European Alps. A technical course of approximately 5.8km in length with many unique corners, combined with ascents and descents created by the hilly geography. The straight has an elevation change of 40m, and there is a 20 degree banked hairpin at the end of the hill, creating a driving experience like nowhere else.

No practice, no glory (spent all my practice hours at the Nords in a BMW Z4 GT3 on Euroracers). Kept getting quicker in the race, but also overpowered the corner here and there.

Next!

Next week a personal favorite of mine.

AC - FWD vs RWD@Luccaring, Wed 5th June 2024

Welcome to the RD Racing Club. From Lago Maggiore to Tuscany is not a big trip. Lucca is a beautiful city, certainly worth a visit as you will see when you join the race for this week. The track takes us on the ring road outside the ancient city walls with even some roundabouts to master. The...

Hi Guys, sorry I didn't make last nights race, unexpected visitors turned up and couldn't really leave them mid evening. Hope everyone had a good race. See you all next week.

All the Suzuki drivers are now getting equal performance from the car, it does make racing more interesting.
Just tried to realise this and change the way I drive, less risk and try and be more calculating.
But that old luck thing has to be on your side when racing is this close.
The Mazda is still king, and that’s the way it should be.
Well done to Jason and Thomas, with the Suzuki drivers close but the upper hand was with the Mazda.
That first corner is really the key to the Mazda, once that gap is made, the Suzuki can do little to get that back, so it ends up a race of limiting mistakes.
Which leaves the Abarth, this needs the right circuit conditions to work, does not need ultimate pace, but somewhere to get the most from it mid range acceleration and speed.
I thought this circuit was an Abarth circuit, i always do my practicing in it for a new circuit , being shocked at the pace of the Suzuki and Mazda here, thought it was a Abarth circuit.
The end.

I also thought it would be an Abarth track. Didn't pick the car because I need more practice in general than with the Suzuki.
