Wow, I thought V8 Supercars were tough. These things don't like to turn at all, and braking is pretty tough too. It's fun to run very low downforce and just haul ass, but I definately need some wing to turn and brake. These cars feel pretty heavy when it's time to get them whoa'd up.

I did match my average time that I ran in the Audi R8 at the SSCA Daytona course...but got into the wall of the speedway in the tri oval (2/4 wing).

Birmingham GP...guess I'm just not used to the speed with these. I love Birmingham but couldn't complete a lap yet (was still 1/2 wing).

Bathurst...a bit easier with some downforce, but get on the rumble strip coming down to the corkscrew and my back end was thrown into the air and spun me hard...puncturing a tire and losing my rear wing (2/6 wing).

I've never run a race at 79 LeMans, and barely ever practiced there yet. I need a lot of work before I complete any laps for time because it's so long. ;\)

I rather like the colour scheme FC. The sponsors and logos are a tad scary though

A great mix of tracks, Doug. Should really put these cars through their paces. I will pick a vehicle tonight.

Just thought of something, since I realized my pit crew is still busy fueling my car in the Orchard Lake pits: we'd better make sure pitstops in this mod work properly.

Questioned about his sources of funding, Epic Fail team leader FC had this to say:
"We have a great bunch of partners and sponsors, which we have carefully selected to be in line with the team objectives and predictable performance. I don't think they'll be dissapointed with our performance (or lack of thereof)."

FC, I'm stunned that you weren't offered large sums by Yugo for their transmissions.

Overheard at the Autozone parts counter:

Owner: "I'd like a windshield wiper for my Yugo."
Parts chap: "Sorry, cash or check only." \:\)
