I'm not really feeling the love for the S3. Fart on the throttle and the rear cones around. I'm cornering on tenterhooks.

It's not bad once you get a decent setup.  But that's part of the fun - trying to tame the beast.  I wouldn't say it's any more difficult than the Cobra once you get to know when the boost comes in and the torque peaks.

To me the standard F40 feels like I can stomp on the throttle without care.

But both are fun cars, so I it doesn't bother me.  Preference would be for the S3 for something a little different though.  Or maybe a mix?

The secret is to proffer a gentle queef rather than a forceful smutter.  Also less risk of the dreaded follow-through.

I dont tbink the f40 is much harder to tame then the cobra, the turbo lag takes a bit to get used to but its just another overpowered and under tyred beast. If hsurbyug would share his hacks maybe it would be easy to drive for everyone.

A mix is an idea, however it may just make the night harder - two tracks, to cars to get used to...I think not.
Maybe next week we can try the base version.

It's really only the turbo lag that creates a tough situation - but clever use of it can mean you can get out of corners at full throttle in a higher gear and make nice safe - and still pretty fast - exits.  I've done this all the time on the last corner of donington. :)

If anyone has not experienced GTR2  Power and Glory3 mod ,try the BMW M3 E30 DTM  with default setup, at Brands Hatch ver 1.0,
this combination is as close as it gets to PnG3 physics and handling but with better graphics(IMHO). I am impressed.

Aris the Physics guy at Kunos was also the head physics guy in the PnG mod. Probably not there any more but if they do get into AC then Im sure he will help out his old friends as much as he can.

The standard F40 was a lot more fun for my clumsy right foot.

The standard F40 is on the server and the range of Minis...
Will remove the minis on race night.
