Lotus 49 Official Series

[AbbyTheFoxx]

Just finished my second Lotus 49 race at Brands Hatch this week. The first one wasn't very populated but today was the SOF race and we got a whopping 19 people!

I wanted to mention how surprisingly clean these races are though. For a car that's constantly on the edge of murdering you, the racing is really close and clean. From what I saw there was only one wreck between two people.

Point being, the official races aren't as bad as one might think, and are even comparable to the quality of a well organized league race. It might have to do with the fact that you can only races a few times a week on the weekends or the fact that it's such a steep learning curve that only the committed people really race it.

SO, if anyone is interested in running it with me this season I plan on it being one of the main things I race this season, and it would be awesome to have someone to practice and develop setups with. Next week is 7 laps at Nordschleife so I understand if you would rather wait until the week after

Wait until the week after?! No way! That's the one week that I do want to race it. It will have to be somewhere during the week for me though because I will be away during Christmas.

I started a test session at the Nordschleife yesterday and thought it would be a good idea to enable dynamic weather. That turned out to be a massive mistake because the track temperature was 49 degrees and it was pretty impossible to drive around any corner.

Sound like just about every session I'm that's on dynamic weather. Clear skies, 30+ ambient temp and 43+ track temp.
