The '66 Eagle is a bitch and I don't find it fun to drive at all. Same reason why the other's lost interest I guess.
The other cars are much more interesting and fun to drive.

This is the reason i stepped out of the competition. It is like stepping in a 150hp car after been in a 600hp car. It is not motivating. The 67 cars are difficult to handle and that makes it so special, the huge amount of power and the 69 mod is nice too because you can add some wings to the car.

I find the slower, lighter cars more fun. The Weslake Eagle is just... boring and annoying. Too heavy, and not enough power.

And I hijacked it from Cheeveer :tongue: .

Since this competition is going nowhere with the Eagle, we decided to change to a free-for-all format. I also moved the deadline to next week :cool: [/b]

And now I can declare this competition dead :sorrow:

Perhaps we can try again in the summer with the 67s or 69s perhaps.
