AC Multiclass Abarth500/Mazda MX5@ San Luis, Wed 18th January 2023

Thanks for the show/help Douglas, I also found a little time here and there

Shame Han decided to ditch the chicanes, they were quite handy to "scrape off Abarths."
(Like the classic British tracks with the "Separator" chicane(TM))

Oh, and I found a antidot for Han´s "Turbo Hack" really cut´s down on rolling resitance and gives hypermilage.

I call it "the Magic Carpet Ride"(TM)

Good Night everybody Carsten

Good Night everybody Carsten

More than a little time, I noticed.

Happy to be a guide, although I wasn't consistent as I was just learning the track. More time to find, I think.

 

[Douglas Aird]

I see the Audi livery on Robert's car so it works allright.

If you don't see the liveries, it must be something on your side.

Han, I had put the liveries in the wrong place. Sorted now.

Hi Ben,

I would love to have you but our regular events are for premium members only. See tab premium to upgrade.
I saw you also want to join the Rookie event. That's ok as it's also for non premium members.

[stigs2cousin]

So it´s "Farts vs Dressers" seemingly ?

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Thanks Doug
Did a few laps in the Mazda just to get an idea where strengths/weaknesses are - don't have a setup for it but stock seemed OK. Far too many events in the Mazda yrs ago - now like it as much as @Kek700 likes the Skippy

So yeh, I favour the troublesome, but mad-as-a-box-of-frogs-roller skate

Well, somebody has to love it, I guess

I do not think the Abarth is going to be quicker, tempted to say out right, the Abarth is going to be slower. As yet do not know how quick some of my fellow Abarth drivers are here.
But I think the Mazda will struggle due to the long straight, not lap time, just will get “got” on the 2 straights.
Be interesting too see what Wednesday brings, I am hoping for a more relaxed event than last Wednesday.

Forecast of the week over

My usual #36 plz Han..
