I said a bit of balls. I do have a bit of balls

Just cos I dont put my car into walls, doesn't make me a total coward!

EC is much less of a power track than you'd expect.

I used full throttle a lot less at EC than Wakefield. It's much more about balance and smoothness.
Keeping the car on the limit in flowing corners takes a bit of time to get right :)

I agree with dumhed about EC. I prefer it to Wakefield but I'm not one of those pussies who uses my brakes for turn one at either track. :P

Try Oran GP if you haven't already - that is one track that car set-up is paramount over massive power.

EC and Wakefield both have their pro's and con's. Hard to compare as one takes just over a minute and the other just less than 2 minutes.

But lets face it, no matter what track you are on, a properly set-up car with mild power is always going to be quicker than a poorly set-up car with massive power.

before wakefield was resurfaced you could predict most cars EC lap times by adding ~40 seconds to their wakefield time.

very fast M3 - 1:04 WP, 1:44 EC
Hello Kitty - 1:11 WP, 1:52 EC (on same tyres)
S14 drift car - 1:06 WP, 1:45 EC
Super Tourer - 1:02 WP, ~1:40 EC

I had some more examples but can't remember them now...
