That doesn't make it less frustrating on track, though.
Oh, the Minis-vs-Galaxies battles were extremely entertaining (at least from a spectator viewpoint). I've seen them at Silverstone (a circuit with long, fast straights where the Galaxies disappeared in the distance) and on the club circuit at Brands Hatch (1.3 twisty miles). The cars would pass and re-pass each other at several different points on every lap, but still got to the start-finish line in about the same time. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
