Fun Run: 15-9-2016
« on: September 10, 2016, 05:31:45 PM »
Would it be a good idea to do a car trial night next Thursday? Next Season Theme is "BEST OF BRITISH" so any British car is eligible for testing.

Candidate cars:

1. BTCC Mod cars (BMW 125, Ford Focus, Honda Civic Type R, Toyota Avensis - all these cars suffer from terminal oversteer!! Is it just me or is the physics got a problem?))
2. Escort Escort RS1600 (Kunos car - most fun to be had!!)
3. Jaguar XJ13 (surprisingly good and slidey - Tyre Model V10. However there are FFB bugs - seems to go haywire under some circumstances if you use the FFB Controller App)

Suggested Track:

VIR track current version download (S3 Bucket, hopefully faster download.)
VIR track download from the source.



Zandvoort or
Paul Ricard WTCC

(By keeping to a Kunos track it will allow a better test of each car's physics)

We could try all cars on track for a first testing session, Then do a couple of races in each set of cars based on preferences.

The other two British cars under consideration were the Caterham and the Mini. We've raced the Caterham a fair bit so left it off the list. The Mini seems to have horrible physics - even worse than before. So it got left off unless someone can make the handling better?

All, ran some laps last night in the GT2s and VIR takes some time to learn if you haven't driven it before. I spent a lot of time down some slope until I learnt that there were brake marks before the blind right-hander.

Fantastic track but complex and challenging.

Sounds good. I raced it somewhere once, maybe iRacing.
