As to be expected, a very nice, top quality release.
I love these guys. 

However, the timing at Watkins...:/
I did a 1:25 after a few laps, it's really fun.  But the program has registered a valid 0:28 ffs.

Watkins isn't a Kunos track though...

Not an easy car to drive, again (on street tyres, at least). Honestly... were all cars of this era such crap to drive? Or were men just men back then?

They weren't slot cars if that's what you mean ;)

I mean cars that were actually designed to not have the rear of the car trying to overtake the front at every opportunity.

Wally, that problem only exists on braking with this car.  When you're on the throttle - if you take a bit of care - it's as well planted as anything.
At least that's what I found.  It can be a tricky bastid to put through bendy braking areas, though.  A little (or a lot of) throttle while braking helps.

Had a bit of a drive when I got home last night. There were a couple of brothers online crashing the RUF. Looked like they were having some fun. ;)

I was in masochist mode: H-shifter and clutch, 90's street tyres, default boost. I was babying the car around, and if I proffered more than a queef to the throttle, the rear would come around. I know it's my own shortcomings and not the car's. It's not a car I would choose to drive for fun.

I'll try semislicks and 10% boost... i.e. granny mode.

Wally, the masochist part of that statement is the "H shifter". Tried it with mine and the fun factor ended pretty soon. Either blowing up gearboxes (within the first few laps) or losing the back end because I cant heel and toe. I HATE the way AC has modeled the H shifter.
