Now that this time trial is over, I assume a discussion about Zandvoort is now appropriate. I rarely ran this track on my own, probably due to bad memories from playing TOCA back on the OG Xbox. I never gave this course a second chance. So I was very surprised to find the track to be one of the more enjoyable courses in the sim. It was also interesting to see how little time I spent in a turn if I hit the apex. Where turns seemed to drag on forever, like Mugello; Zandvoort's turns felt like minor inconveniences. One quick dip into the apex, and it was back on the throttle.
I am sure the Hurican had a lot to do with that as well, the car is incredibly stable. That gave me leagues of confidence when chucking it into a corner. It took a lot to upset the balance, and it also felt like it had grip even when the tires were howling. I was impressed.
I now have a new found respect for Zandvoort and the Hurican. Even though I am not completely smitten with the looks of the Hurican.
