Donington Park National Practice Times? - Page 2

Oh, I'm going as fast as I can. My whole point is to maintain my top speed. So I time the 4th-to-5th shift so it coincides and I don't have to lift to keep control, nor tempt an unbalance.

If you're running the 427 Cobra, you have a tiny advantage in torque-to-weight, but are nearly dead even on hp-to-weight. The extra 200lbs of that Cobra's bulk, however, probably help you stay on the pavement at the rise, where the GT is light enough to get more lift.

the GT 350 handles most of turns quite well, setup properly ofcourse. It doesn't do quick turns though and has quite a bit of weight. So the hardest for me are the coppice and mclean turns.

Real Life Donington Park National (hood view), pretty interesting seeing what the real track looks like.

So how was the race??

Postponed due to 3 drivers dropping out unexpectedly. The whole schedule is shifted back a week. So you've got a shot again to get in on Donington!
