1000 miles Part One: The Nürburgring Nordschleife expirience

1000 miles part one: Ginetta G4 at Nürburgring

I know that ginetta is unfair advantage here in this race,but that was the only car that i haved in garage for this race series.25 laps of Nordschleife with a 90hp car Ginetta is speedy and leightweight car what is great for that age ( `64 ).It`s stable on high speeds 200+ Km/h and accelerates well from 0-100,100-150+ is a bit longer but quite well for this amount of horse power.Only thing that bothered me is the stopping from 150-200 km/h speed.The brakes are good but not that good.On the Nurb this car showed up excellent.I have driven it with Sport Medium tires and without aids,everything else was stock.I was going for fun not the speed,altough you can`t lose on the track with that competition!The real fun starts after a few laps,when the front tires were yellow and rear tires orange/reddish.That`s the point where starts drifting on Nurb .I drifted and drifted and drifted and i never get bored,and even then i˙am quicker then the competition.That was one easy race with that car,only 9 A-spec points.I visited the pit only 2 times beacuse i enjoyed the passion of drifting in that car,to bad that i haven`t used N2`s or N3`s for this race.All that i can say that i was not trying for speed but i will post my time on the race,you can easly make 1 lap advantage in front of Alfa on 10th or sooner lap( i can`t remember).Fiat 500 is a completly another story,18hp Italin Monster cannot compete with this type of cars.Altough Ginetta is the oldest car in the competition,in my opinion,only thing that is faster is the Cobra,but that`s expensive,and Ginetta is basically free of charge,just a little effort.Conclusion is: the car handles good,the track is fun,and the driving/drifting is easy and entertaining.I reccomend this car for driving/drifting on Nurb based expirience.I will make another review when i complete the second race.
Cheers!

Marvellous, sounds enjoyable, the Ginetta is a challenge to drive which makes it fun even without the close racing I usually look for. 👍
Are parts 2, 3 & 4 in the making?

Whell,I managed to get some free time,and i passed the part 2,i am in the middle of the part 3.Ginetta is very,very good car,ie. i`m watching the pitting,mostly 3 times per race.I`ve had problems with the 2nd race.For 20minutes the race was going and i was in the wall.I paused the race,turned off the TV,and leaved the DS2 on the table,and got out(i had some things to take care off,somebody accidently pressed the start button ).And i finished second in the race,but again,i get some points
Anyway,now when i must go out or something,i always unplugg the DS2 from the port 👍 do the same thing if you don`t want to get in the same place that i`ve gotten.I don`t have free time,so i will post some facts about the races in some near future.Cheers!

I used my plymouth superbird and I was getting around 8 min 30 seconds and pitting every 3 laps. I used medium in the front and hard at the back I am surprised that I was not sliding and my tires evenly ware out when i had to pit and 4 tires were almost red so that worked out nice
