AC TransAm (TA2) at Sebring - Monday Oct 09

[dbx71]

Welcome to the Monday Night US RD Race Club!

Get ready for some wild action as we take to the pavement at the famously fast and bumpy track at Sebring, Florida with the fantastic TA2 cars from VRC!

The TA2 series is one of America's hottest race events featuring the classic, Big 3 Pony Cars: Camaro, Mustang and Challenger. These cars will seriously challenge your driving skills. However, they are also incredibly satisfying to drive once you get them under control.

We invite you to join us as we continue the age-old battle between these legends of American Motorsports history.

This event will be hosted by @dbx71

I'll be there. Hopefully on track and not in the grass

I read the included documents, but I can't tell if the csp and non csp versions produce a different drive or if thats in my head and it's just sounds and visuals. I'm finding the CSP even more tail happy on throttle than the non. Maybe just me?

Great car and track choice

Excellent! Yes, to me there was a big difference between the CSP and non-CSP versions, at least in the Chevrette. I actually found the CSP version to be MORE stable. I was using the default set-up in both, but the non-CSP version was prone to erratic, unexpected moves under heavy braking. Maybe I just need to play around with set-up though... Probably the brake bias. Not sure if it's different with the other cars, as I haven't spent much time with them. Itching to try the Dagger next though...

The only thing I'm not crazy about with the CSP version is that you need to use manual ignition and engine start functions. And if you go off, the engine stalls almost every time, requiring a re-start. Oh, and you need to use manual clutch to get the car rolling again, or else it will stall again! other than that, these cars are a breeze

What a brutal drive Sliding into T1 is quickly becoming my favorite turn in these cars

That is when you stay on the track

yeah, they are a ton of fun. still preferring the CSP version but that engine stall thing is kind of bugging me. pretty much every time i go off track the engine stalls, and it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to restart it. i know it's realistic and all but i wish there was a way to disable that feature...

Hi Nic;
Hopefully, you will still join us... In any event, funny thing happened. I was doing a practice race offline with the AI, and your name came up as one of the drivers... Spelled exactly the same way. If we're going up against a pro, I might need to practice up!

Hi Jason. I understand you need to get set up with an emperor account. @HF2000 can help you with that.

You can access the practice server in the meantime if you wish.

I think the main difference with the cps version is the force feedback feels much stronger. Too strong in fact, oh and yes it is a bummer when it stalls. Would love to do this race guys but for me its 3.00AM start unfortunately.

Yes I wish you all could join us as well to experience the thrill (and frustration) of racing with these cars. Maybe I’ll schedule the same event for those in European time zones like I did with the bridgehampton event. ..

BTW thanks for the tip on the Oculus Rift S VR. I got myself one and can’t believe what an incredible experience it is to race in VR!

I think I spent the first 20 minutes after I put on headset for the first time just looking at all the details of the cockpit interior. Incredible!

Really amazing to get out of the car and walk around it or up and down the pit lane. And of course the driving experience! Out of this world. Thanks again!
