You know what I can't stand? The fact that I love the XRT, but the moment I jump in an RB4 my lap times improve by over a second. That angers me, because I hate the way that damn car drives unless I'm on a rallycross course.
Then again the XRT won't chew through its front tires in 5 laps...
I think I just need a better XRT setup. It's a wonderfully balanced car and is a joy to keep at the limit of traction setting up and exiting every corner in any track.
Well put. While I'd really like a good simulator similar to LFS with real cars and tracks, etc (racing the Nürburgring comes to mind, that would be insane),
it's already so good that I've long forgotten about said wishes. Now with the improved tire physics (and turbo spool characteristics maybe? ) it will only get better and better.
Well I currently reside in Santa Barbara, CA (socal) but every once in awhile I'll be coming back up to Palo Alto and possibly visiting Berkeley. (Don't ask why I'm up and posting at 5AM).
I'm a rather poor college student and my car gets crappy mileage (not to mention needs lots of maintenance before I'd take any long trips in it) but if it lines up with my travels I'd be happy to attend.
I'd also definitely be up for carving up some... appropriate mountain roads, I drive a "family" car but can hold my own against smaller, more nimble cars in the twisties.
