I'm almost fully recovered from my flu bout, thank goodness.
Although there was a clear advantage to running a high powered RWD build on this track, only our winner GReddy295 seemed able to cope with it. The rest of us stuck with AWD setups where it was much easier to get the power down.
The most popular cars were the 1999 Dodge Viper, and the 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z06. The Viper had superior acceleration, but a lower top speed resulting in similar performance.
haulmarc, and Jezza14 took the remaining podium spots, both in Vipers, but almost 15 seconds behind Greddy's RWD Mustang.
Great driving everyone!

34 cars this time, and I guess most of you will have some favourites. This track is a 15.5 mile road circuit which ought to favour RWD builds. Time will tell, but it should be interesting.
Tip: Although you can only run 1 lap at a time, you can take advantage of a flying start by reversing or turning around to get a run at the start line.
