Thank you for all your advice
Well, I had a Durango back in September time and used for a good 6 meetings, so I had some time to gain a feel for the durango, in simply terms "it was too easy and not a challenge to drive". But Ive only driven a tamiya 511 1 meeting and the 502 for 2 runs on Sunday, speechless, loved them and would be hard pushed to change. The balance, feel and response was superb.
However I did also drive a cat for most of last year and it did hold the old track record. So the Cat is always my second choice.

If you drive the Cat Sx normally, Ill have a look and see if I can do make it any better to drive/faster.

I'm looking forward to the dry weather and how it will change everything, basically everyone is fairly close at the moment with little lapping and overtaking. Wait till the track hardens up and becomes a real challenge to drive. A nice challenge I would like to add. Some of us experienced the change on Sunday with track having some nice dry patches and added driving expectations required.

Steve
