AC Multiclass Abarth500/Mazda MX5@Donington1938, Wed 21st September 2022

[Douglas Aird]

Let's see what a real rotter can do with that.

As we all know Allan is 1,5 to 2 sec faster than me

Abarth definitely has a big advantage here with the long flat out section.

I'll race with you Carsten.

 

[Douglas Aird]

Typical old track, deadliness at every corner. Gates, bridges, sides of buildings and horrible kerbs.

Starting to enjoy it...

 

[Kek700]

Funnily it does not bottom out.

I also think it has to do with corners. On the last circuit there were far more slow corners.
Here there are only about 4 , then there are straights where the Abarth can pull back time,
At the last circuit there were double that and not long enough straights to make it up apart from the start finish.

Well Ernie, it won't be a walk in the park. Allan was a few tenths faster than me on the practice server. So I guess it's up to you and John to teach that rotter a lesson.

You left just as got 1.6secs quicker.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

My "Wing-Man" (Fulvio) and I are devising a
cunning plan...

Well, maybe it's not that bad. It was the first time I drove with the new elastomer kit rubber for my Heusinkveld brakepedal.
It feels more natural but it cost time to adjust the muscle memory of my left leg.

Yes im still fine tuning my new Hydraulic Pedals,the feel over my old V3,s is something else..

Rolling roadblock?

 

[Alfred Wayne]

I don't think we utilize bump drafting enough in the mx5s. The abarths might be faster on the straights passing 1 Mazdas, but I'd like to see them try and pass 5 Mazdas nose to tail

who was talking about bump draft there is a simple way to pass the abarths

 

[Alfred Wayne]

My back up plan was some paint and a piece of wood, but a police charger works too

 

[eN1xes]

u should consider on 1000% fuel rate

 

[Medilloni]

So I guess it's up to you and John to teach that rotter a lesson.

Don't count me in on that Han ...the RD AC group has so many seriously quick ppl these days, I'll be happy admiring the ditches trees and hope to survive any trouble ahead.....

Bugger, I was hoping for an easy victory, perhaps a cup of tea with a scone, relaxed pit stop.



it is going to be a thrashing, again, by those Rotters in Mazdas.

More gloating, more humiliation.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Oh you poor Buggers,

looks like you´ll have to fight and struggle for your glory once again.

I´ll just do like in the S800 race, put the top down and have a leisurely stroll through the countryside.

( and if this "racy gentlemen" try to bugger us again, one can always "scrape them off" at the corner of Coppice House)

MFG Carsten

I love this old version of Donnington too so I'll have to give this a go. Do I just register for the race on the SGP site?
