lol, you wouldnt think it was 4wd though, short wheelbase means its very lively at the rear end, fun though.

Having a few stella and have only managed one lap without spinning out of 14 lol, 1:43 on that.

I don't think we need worry about piccies at the moment as it appers to be running OK on the "Gentleman's agreement"

If I recall correctly the 205 T16 suffers monstrous understeer, should be fun round El Capitan!

It's the rally version though which I didnt find understeered very much, but it likes to slide the back out etc, and is very snappy when correcting it, easy to spin out I found.

1:39.796, definately capable of more, laps arent anywhere near tidy, a lot of thinking on the move just to keep the car in check, good fun little car though, very tricky to control when a few beers down lol.

Managed a 1.39.246 last night after only one beer - did about 15 laps and was still spinning off every 2 or 3 laps. Will have another go tonight but am planning on having quite a few beers, in addition to numerous cold/flu remedies so not expecting to improve much, if at all.

Cheers

every 2 or 3?

I did 16 laps to get the 1:39.

Got a 1:43, a 1:41, and a 1:39, the other 13 I crashed on lol.

I think alcohol helps actually - I think it reduces the tendency to overreact to the back end stepping out...
1.38.265
and even if it doesnt its a good excuse to drink more

1:37.957
