That did look like a horsepower track to me.
Andy: When one has a goodly amount of HP, "things" get ....ah...interesting. You arrive at a corner sooner and at an elevated speed. Power oversteer becomes an issue. You can regain momentum quicker than a low hp car and make the lap time look good in comparison.....but the time lost can't be regained when comparing to a car *in your class*. High powered cars are harder to drive smoothly, IMO. Since you're going faster, the mistakes are magnified. Even a good run can look bad when smoke is coming off the tires under braking. When things go right in a section, you find yourself arriving at the next going faster than you did before....oh shit, I wuz lookin' so good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Try it sometime and report back. |
