ARTZ Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 They won't get upset as long as you get out of their way Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/406438-sau-vic-2012-motorsport-championship-round-6-winton-1st-sept/page/2/#findComment-6486169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmdrifta Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Haha Artz, yes general idea is to aim for sand then turn at the last minute... I only stuffed one part of that theory up... As for faster cars, exactly as Artz said, you can just get out of their way and they won't care about you. On that fatefull lap for example, Artz could have eaisly stayed in front of me through the strait and then pissed me off around the corners, but he just pulled over and let me through, no hard feelings on either side. Don't worry about going slower, as your skill and confidence grows, you may end up passing them one day! Winton is such a good track for beginners too. Max speed last time I was there was only 160iirc.

blah_blah Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hrmm you guys have started to sway me to go! Top speed tracks isnt a problem for me, I just don't confidence yet to carry speed through a corner. For some reason I get afraid the tail might come out mid way through a corner rather than being afraid of understeer. But yeah I'll keep an eye on entrants, if it's low and not 100 entrants i might enter!

flyingfridge Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 jump on board guys, winton is a great little track to learn at. if you've done one session of DT you've done enough. the only way to learn is experience and winton is by far the best track to gain some Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/406438-sau-vic-2012-motorsport-championship-round-6-winton-1st-sept/page/2/#findComment-6487018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
