Yeah, I'm hoping it should allow people to choose very different lines and battle freely!

I'd be all over this, but rf2 historics @ Osterreichring...you are making choose between favorites!
The M1s around here are bloody good, you can manage the understeer by setting up a drift a few days before the corner and still make it around. Server #3 is set to this combo if anyone wants to practice.

Oh no.... this will be the last time with the BMWs. What's going to be next?

Well, I'm leaning towards Group A DTM..... I'd really love to get the V8 Supercars working, but last time I used them I could not get the overheating tyres dialled out. There have been some improvements to the tyre model though, so it might be worth revisiting them. In the telemetry I was taking, I noticed these really weird oscillations in the temperature that didn't look right.

DTM....

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Oh wow! I just took the Super V8 for a spin and the overheating was still there, but in the process I worked out what I was doing wrong! I found that if I don't turn the wheel any further than is required to actually make the corner, things remain much more manageable, even in the softs, and I actually have faster times. I was just driving it wrong.....

Cant make it this week, have fun guys.

Awesome combo! Sign me up!

Welcome Kees!

 

[Sanbone]

Great fun again that but man that felt like harder work than the other, think it was just because I had a lot more close quarters racing. Excellent combo
