These GTO's are BOATS, did some laps last night with the Birdman @Allan Ramsbottom & Krazy German @Dirk Steffen
All I can say is, if these cars drove for real like they do in AC, no wonder there's only 20 left.
Brakes are and "understeer" is KING, unless you power up to early on corner exit then "oversteer" is KING
This car will certainly test everyone's racecraft & separate the men from the boys

Ah come on!
I have conflicts so bad, I put plastic covers over the seat, wear gloves over my Ferrari racing suit and just to be safe I wear those ER operation center slip over bags over my shoes so not to touch a single bit of Ferrari when The Chancer leaves us no option to race in a Porsche.

My Ferrrrrrrrrrrrari racing suit:

All this trouble though is worth it just to flip the bird back to The Birdman and have a laugh together seeing The Convict being escorted back to jail when the race is over ;-)

I recommend stiffening up front wheel rate by one click and lowering suspension a little. Makes it bite into a corner better and lower ride height stabilizes it a bit. Move brake bias towards the rear a little, it will also help turn in.
With these classic cars you are not supposed to mash the brake at the last moment like the new cars, instead start smoothly braking earlyish and slowly come off the brake as you enter into a corner, while getting on the gas carefully, but early. All meanwhile doing slow steering inputs.

This cars are very soft and don't react well to aggressive moves.

Hope it helps many drivers

Exactly ;-)


My Porsche racing suit is of a different kind though ALL BUSINESS and making sure I FEEL the car:

Yeah agreed, the default setup is a wee bit to soft, and braking MUST be done way early to keep the beast settled, a little bit of trail braking on some corners helps too. Acceleration should be gradual and smooth also, or the rear tries to overtake the front the Birdman @Allan Ramsbottom blessed me with his setup which was very stable, but the car is still a handfull

Ill take 'rari. Going in a 45° angle through a corner with a 50mil. Car is just something else

I don't know if I can ever take you serious again. I mean I'm

Eugene, thank you for the tips. This group of Hooligans doesn't know how to not be aggressive They're just jealous now because these beasts must learn how to caress a beast. Only @Allan Ramsbottom can blow engines and gearboxes on 15% damage @Andrew Scott has never met a tire he couldn't melt and @Dirk Steffen has never met driven anything other than a Porsche except one time and he was:

You see what I have to put up with day after day, week after week????? I should get hazardous duty pay for dealing with these rouge individuals
