Watching Wolfgang Woeger's lap in a Lotus inspired me down the same road,
I've made progress but still need to shave off a minute and change.... 'it's
not a game, it's an adventure!'
I have pretty much gotten spoiled on the Eagle for every track - I like the
balance and know what to expect from it. You just have to take it slow
enough to not go off for an entire lap - then do it again, and again.... and
again - forget fast times until you get to the point that wherever you are
on the track, you know what the next turn is going to require. As for the
setup, every one has their own preference, I like a somewhat soft
suspension, to get some chassis roll, with the rear springs soft enough that
I don't spin it coming out of the turns. I tend to drive by "weight shift"
because I can understand the physics of it better than throttle steering....
I'm getting there, but it's still weird... <G>
Yes. At first, that seems impossible, but after enough laps without huntin'
rabbits in the bushes, you will notice distinctly different sections with
their own "personality" and once you know which section is next and what to
do with it, it gets easier..
It's you, but don't let that bother you.... just takes time. I know the
Lotus is a hot little puppy, but I also know I can't drive the dang thing
yet... that's why I like the Eagle - it's pretty fast but a lot more
forgiving than the Brabham or Lotus. I REALLY liked the way the BRM handled
and "felt" but it's just too damn slow - and with me driving it, it was even
slower.... <G>
~I have discovered that making it down the Dottinger Hohe straight without
wiping out at the bridge is a helluva rush trying to get slowed for
Tiergarten....
