I'll be asking my rig the question too. Finding how much she can take.

Just did a few laps with RC v1.

Only tried the Cobra, SLS GT3, and the Lotus 49, and only tried a few laps in each. Using only the default setups the cars seem to be handling much better, maybe too good. Will need to do more laps to push to the limit, then we'll see. Most cars should feel good at only half pace though.

The old NKPro guys will be glad to hear that the "flat spot" is back. Yay!!! We will have to look after those tires now.

In the 10 minutes I have just tried I think I was grinning like an idiot.

Can't seem to turn of the 5 sec penalty if you go off track. Is this working for others?

In the Main Menu (where you select car and track), click on Session (the little clock icon) untick Penalties

Any warping Marty? In game I mean

Had some strangeness with side to side contact a couple times. Not sure if its warp related or damage related, the first time was with a guy around 220 ping so likely US. We rubbed out of Eau Rogue in GT cars then he just kept on hitting me and my car was going into him as if we were somehow joined together. My car was undriveable after.

Had another similar one where a guy turned in on me into a corner then we hit 5 or 6 times. Connection wise seems better from what I have seen. No real jitter but noticed a couple very low pings disappear completely for a frame possibly. Only maybe happened a couple times but car didnt move positions.

I did follow a few local guys around and could ride the bumper pretty much except had some big lockups and flatspoted if they braked early.

Still a few issues are hanging around, starting from pitlane gets started before the grid at Spa at least. Damage has no effect on public server racing as mid pack even with lesser contact the car can be screwed. The guy that hits you is stuffed too but they likely dont care anyway. In the league it will be interesting with damage but getting bumped by others will likely ruin both cars races so a little more care will be needed into the first few corners.

Everything looks and feels really good on Marty's server. I haven't seen any cars warp around - very smooth.

I've tried a few different cars/tracks. The standard e30 m3 around the new hill climb is quite fun.

Marty I was right behind you for one of those - to me it looked like the other guy kept moving over on you. Could be bent steering or something but it didn't seem entirely unintentional from where I was.

Fixed now, but a bit wierd.
Had the box unticked. Went into a off-line session and still got penalties, so then joined an on-line server and no penalties.
Then tried off-line again and now its all OK.

Tried a pit stop on Marty's server, and it fixed the car completely (I had damaged left front suspension).
Wasted time working out the menu though, so it would be good if we could practice offline. :-\
