James Baldwin also did an interesting review of the Maclaren. I just havent had much enthusiasm for them so far, partly as i havent driven them much and the rubbish practise/ race times now online where i seem to login to drive with 15mins in the session left. Not to mention the 10min gap sometimes between practise ending and the race event start. Just had a good 30min at sebring online to compare, cars arnt quite so communicative as the GTE but seem to make time differently.
Thanks for the link, Rob. Always good to hear what the real life driver's have to say. Sorry i couldn't make the test yesterday, but had other things needing doing. What's your safety rating, Mark? What i do is go to to the weekly and special event servers for practice and setup work. If you still need some safety rating gain to do that, just run a bunch of races where all you're focused on is dodging the dive bombers and spinners (it's also good practice for multi-class races). It doesn't take that many if that's all you want out of it (i think it took me 9 races to get to "silver" - but my first race was a "special" 2.4h at LeMans in week 1, so your mileage may vary, as they say). Sebring is one of my favorite tracks in LMU. Haven't driven it in a GT3 yet, so can't compare apples to apples, but i haven't felt that much difference GT3 to GTE from what it is in rF2, aside from what i attribute to the fact that LMU is a bit more demanding on my ancient hardware.
