You'll enjoy your switch to Nitro though Dave, I am. Its not as complex as it seems. I had fun today laughing at my dad getting things a bit wrong, but it was all fun, he couldn't hear me trying to shout him so he didn't know - he weren't listening to my directions beforehand anyway, funny though.
Yeah it was a good fun day, your car was looking good out there as well as the day wore on, even if you did cover me in mud with wheelspin after that double at one point! Cheers for the explanation on the torque stuff etc as well, makes a bit more sense to me now!
