And to think I was worrying if I could cope without a
Lotus/Eagle/Ferrari... did several "spec" races today (BRM/Cooper/Honda
only), and had more fun in a day in my BRM than in ages with the Lotus.
These things *slide*... :-)

Fewer crashes than normal, close racing, great fun. What could be
better? More spec races please, VROC hosts!

David,

I'm interested.  I love the BRM because it's extra gear works like crazy at
courses where there's a huge difference between Vmin & Vmax (altho not Spa,
a particularly inappropriate track for the BRM).  The BRM is also the
second-easiest car to drive (after the Cooper) in GPL because its high polar
moment means it gives a *lot* of warning before it begins to slide (altho it
takes a lot of body english to gather it back up after it lets go).  The
Cooper is always a  pleasure to drive.  The Honda is, erm, unscrutable.
But, yes, let me know where & when and I'll try to join join you.

--Steve

Good news - it seems that the NetGames server "Nguk.net 1" is now
running spec races all the time :-)

Circuits vary - atm it's rotating between Rouen, Monza & silverstone.
I'm off there right now :-)
