Love it! The Jag at Pukekohe is brilliant. The bumpiness in the track just brings the big old suspension to life. I had a big grin on my face correcting a slide in the last high-speed corner.

That final S sequence and turn 1 are great fun. The V8s always have great races here, with a lot of action in that final fast, bumpy S section.

did a couple of laps last night on the combo server...

wow, The Jag is a great mod, only 4 speed, less chances to stuff the box! and as Wally said, over the bumps in default gets unsettled and does feel like you need to hang on.
the track is a good product, the GTLegends and rFactor versions didn't have the tight chicane so had a few offs there.  Really pleased the older cars mods are starting to filter through...

Did anyone try the Camaro? It is pretty much how I remember the V8 Supercar mods in Rf handling around here - pure grunt and noise :))

No, forgot to, I got caught up in the "Big Cat" and then a couple of laps in the Cobra offline.  Certainly looking forward to Thursday and hope some (or at least one :) ) of our setup gurus has something for us.  Mine is better than default, but a little "white knuckles" on the right handers out of the home straight.

I think we have found another "Thursday" car. The Broadstreet Jaguar is a great mod and drives fantastic. It really suits Gentrack and Pukekohoe.

I agree. It's been my favourite of the Thursday cars to date. It's big and heavy and wallowy without being too unpredicatable or feral.

The secret seems to be that the modders who have the real world data for a car can feed that data into Assetto Corsa and let the AC physics engine simulate the real world car behaviour.
