    This is my creation. I chose a year 1950 in automation and decided to see what I can come up with.

    VERY IMPORTANT:
    Since it uses so old technology and since I have hardly any idea what I'm doing most of the time this car is tricky to drive. Therefore ENGINE BRAKING IS BASICALLY LIKE PULLING A HANDBRAKE. Here, there's a thing you know. Good luck with slowing down on corners, I dare you.
    Pro tip: go against your nature and give the car 10 to 15% of throttle under heavy braking. Ironically this will help you stay in control.
    Also, the engine gains and loses revs ridiculously quick. While upshifting stay on the throttle for a moment after you press the clutch (or get early on gas, doesn't matter) and keep higher revs for longer for heel and toe reductions.

    On automation test track I scored 2:59.5 beating the AI in Automation by 2-3 seconds. Try your luck in getting this little devil under 3 minutes.
