I doubt it because a tubby has more mechanical grip. What we can be sure of, though, is that the Teg would be more balanced on the limit and give more feedback through the steering and seat :D

Is it just me or did anyone else think that was purely just a case of integra man not having the ability to overtake the mr and going for a very dodgy manouever that went wrong, looks pretty suspect from this angle:

Christ! :shock: I know that there are all sorts of disclaimers for track days etc - but what happens after an incident such as this? Was all the dc2's slow driving a guilty thing? Why not pull in? I'm sure I'll get some know it all answers to this, but that did look a little dangerous!! Its not touring cars after all :lol:

This is a race isn't it? Not a trackday. There is a massive difference.

Nothing happens, cars get recovered thats it. Integra driver not liable. Tough poo basically.

Neither of them seemed all that really. Integra driver was nowhere close enough whenever he had a go. Should have been a fag paper off the bumper really, then he could have sailed up the inside and be gone by the time the mr2 comes back to have a vague go at hitting the apex.

Mind you had I been in that following car I would have thought result at making up 2 places. :+:

I liked the way the Teg driver felt guilty and slowed down :lol: :lol:

And yes, the MR2 driver barely got close to an apex
