I did it again: I came in "on the bubble" (the time that marked the start of
the new class) in D class at the last
JSCC event, and then went on
to win first place in the class again with a very good final run. Today,
however, I was
finally out with the Eclipse again, and
the difference in handling was remarkable. While the Laser has better top-end
accelleration, the Eclipse is far more agile down-low (which it ought to be,
it has a tiny turbo). On the other hand, the Laser rotated the rear far more
easily, which could be a matter of weight distribution; the last time I had
the cars weighed, they were pretty close to each other, and both have a
limited-slip rear. I ran on the same wheels and tires I've been using on the
Laser, so that was one less differentiating factor. Overall, I'm very happy
with the result.
