Great racing everyone, if only we could smell the two stroke

Great racing everyone, if only we could smell the two stroke

When I look at how detailed the karts are I swear that I can smell the two stroke

Fun races tonight! A very different experience, the lack of suspension made it difficult when you hit the bumps or the curbs! It was a fun challenge to keep that in mind while searching for the optimal lines.

For the last race the bottom part of my HUD glitched away, so I couldn't see the speed or which gear I was in. The RPM was displayed in the "cockpit" but it was tricky to read while keeping an eye on the road so for most of the time I had to go by the engine sound and try to identify the redline. Was a bit late on some shifts because of that, but it wasn't too bad.

Here's some info about Walter Kaaden MZ and there go faster secrets.
He turned the humble 2 stoke into, race winning machine.

Ernst Degner was the, MZ top rider, who brought the MZ secrets, when he defected to the West, from East Germany.

John (and everyone) If you haven't read the brilliant book by Mat Oxley - "Stealing Speed" - you should do as soon as possible! He tells the story of two stroke genius Walter Kaaden and his star rider Ernst Degner and how the latter defected from East Germany taking the secrets to Suzuki and bringing them world title glory. It's gripping stuff - Degner's wife and children were gassed with anaesthetic so that they could be smuggled across the border hidden in a secret compartment in the boot of an American car. Degner started his defection by retiring from a race with a "seized engine" so that he could escape his "bodyguards" who followed him everywhere and were waiting in the pits. He was then smuggled out of the circuit to be reunited with his family and a new life. I got the book for Christmas when it was just a few pounds, but at the moment it is out of print and fetching silly money.
