    I like mid engined cars. Well except the real MR2 I drove that basicly wheelied mid corner when I got on the gas. TURBO LAG!
    I found the lancia to be a little slow it likes long sections you can connect. I think it to be a fun ring car.
    As for the challenge.....
    As usual I am bracketed. No mater what car I am in I get the same time times. I get 9 seconds the first lap and drop into the 4s the second......... and so on.

The benefits of the arrangement are balance mid-corner, weight transfer side to side, and progressiveness in a slide.

          I'm also a fan of the small-and-light school of thought. But I guess I'm a bit biased surrounded by the cars in the shop.
          It just seems like the effect is somewhat over-done for some cars. The MR-2 someone else mentioned is a great example. It's terrible on turn-in...Worse than the older Porsches...

          Yeah, I like the lighter cars too, but they just can't compete on some tracks. I think Tsukuba is much easier in a light car, though.
