But the tyres like to be hot. So it will be interesting to see who goes where, setup-wise. And who can actually drive this thing fast.

I turned the turbo way down, but you can crank it on the back straight.

Post by: Wally on March 07, 2023, 09:59:35 PM: This car felt a bit untameable at first... but the racing between Joe, Mael and myself actualy turned out to be pretty good. We stayed fairly close, had some side-by-side racing through corners, played "who can get on the turbo quickest" coming out of the corner onto the back straight. There's certainly scope for mistakes to shake up any outcomes. Sweaty work...

It definitely helps to have a way to toggle between 40% turbo for general driving and 100% for blasting down the long straights... unless you're Mr Super Throttle Control Mael who can drive this thing on permanent 100% turbo. I used JoyToKey to set up a toggle to send either 4 or 0 to the game to toggle the turbo.

Look how close our best lap times were.

Post by: Joe on March 08, 2023, 08:29:42 AM: It does feel like handful, but the racing was close and good. Turbo added some extra fun. Another season contender for sure. I'd definitely set up a toggle like you did should we race it again as pressing the turbo up/down buttons 12 times down the straight every lap was a bit full on ;D
