mm don't like this track, too fast and low grip in every corner. Some errors and you screw the rest of the corners.
What's everyone gonna drive? I think the FXO again images/smilies/smile.gif

I picked this track because I really hoped the FZR would be manageable and competitive here (seeing how I love that car on this track).
I can get 25 clean laps in it, and I can kill the FXR with it in hot lapping, but with an "endurance" setup, I'm 1 to 1.5 seconds off the pace with it compared to the FXR. images/smilies/cry.gif

sorry about that... but I'm definetly back for that UF1 race images/smilies/biggrin.gif... I would have picked the FOX for this track though... easy to handle... not much braking needed = little room for error images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I probably would have gone for the FZR as well. Flowing corners fit that car very well. Tight track is impossible with that car and I did try it once. Never again.

but the FZR has little room for error... a little mistake in the throttle and you're there drifting without control

Not if you can control it properly. I know the throttle is extremely touchy with that car and a little too much throttle gets you sideways. I almost completed one lap with it in Kyoto GP images/smilies/lol.gif

Sweet racing! Although I didn't like the part when I lost it 1 lap before the end images/smilies/lol.gif

Next week's UF1 race also starts promising images/smilies/wink.gif
