Welcome back!

If you are planning on giving the Ultima a go and are not familiar with it, we have found that reducing the diff clutches to 2 makes it a lot less snappy at the rear without reducing the 'fun' factor

 

[Munkyboo]

forgot to sign up, add me please.

Maybe it should be good now regarding setup as the cars are not snappy anymore, although haven't tested for more than a couple of laps. (personally preferred 4 clutches as otherwise it was a bit too loose for me)

edit: just tried Ultima in last weeks track (Goainia) and the difference is insane. Can go full throttle quickly on corner exit easily with the default setup! Its really a completely different car.

I bet driving these cars before 1.5 have ended up training me to control oversteer better, lol

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Welcome Adrian!

Yeah, I think I need to do a bit of practice if I get a chance and I'll also try the default setup again (have to reset it anyway)

I'm hoping they are not completely tamed.... part of the fun was keeping that back end in check

 

[GeekyDeaks]

It's unabashed spam time.....

Anyone fancy seeing how the new 1.5 tyres handle around Road America tomorrow evening?
