Quote from PMD9409 :

Meh, I only find it fun at faster tracks like Mosport and WGlen Classic Boot. The slower tracks just bring out all the flaws.

The car I had fun with was the Solstice at Infineon Cup last night. Just used baseline set, was a blast. Sad that a car on the OTM drives better than pretty much any car on the NTM.

Yeah I agree. and the Mustang too. I love that car.

The Caddy has absolutely no grip. Understeer at corner entry, and oversteer at corner exit.

Is there a list somewhere that shows which cars have the NTM? I can't find any information anywhere

What happened to McLaren?! Neither or them have any sort of pace today.

Quote from theirishnoob :

i dunno about you, but constant flank attacks, switching to type 88 for a few kills then back to medic with x2 grenades normally gets me/us the few feet futher we need...


metro with team work is epic, absolutely epic.

Sadly I have yet to play a game of BF3 with any sort of teamwork.

One thing that really impress me over the weekend is Bruno Senna. He has been driving pretty decently over the last two GPs, out-raced Maldonado and had some impressive overtaking moves. I am starting to think maybe it wasn't such a bad idea for Williams to sign him.

Quote from RiseAgainstMe! :

I would like just one race where I am not crashed out, multiple times even. These races in the Mazdas at Lime Rock are more like a demolition derby than a race sometimes Really, really frustrating.

What I did was a lot of offline practice so I can do reasonably good lap time at limerock. Then do a good qualify lap to make sure I start out front. As long as you start out front, and can do reasonably good lap times then you can avoid the derby at the back of the grid. If you are starting at the middle of the pack or at the back, I just let everyone get past me at the start, seeing most of them will crash out at T1 anyway lol

Who is this Nim fellow you guys are talking about?

Is there any website for downloading set ups for iRacing besides racesetups.com?

Well I just tried Mustang on Oulton park and that was amazingly fun. I could actually feel what the car is doing, and you can really attack the brakes.
Does it have the NTM?

Quote from PMD9409 :

Yeah I should've known that is what you meant. The scary part is that sometimes I believe there physical model can be behind their tire model. When reading the Assetto Corsa review on AutoSimSport, this is exactly what came to mind.


Oh, and Corvette GT2 driver Jordan Taylor had this to say about iRacing's Corvette:

Source for that quote?

The snap of oversteer is really sudden and unpredictable. I liked the OTM.

Okay so I just tried out the NTM for the very first time. (just renewed my subscription)

Are the cars suppose to be this loose on the rear end while turning? or is it just my shitty driving? Normally I can easily adapt with other video games. But I tried it for an hour and I still find it really difficult to keep the car on track.

(I was driving the skipper and the MX5)

One thing I don't get about C.A.R.S. How can they possibly be pumping out new content at this rate? We get like new cars/tracks every few weeks. It's amazing!

Quote from The Moose :

Really? iRacing has the best netcode I've ever experienced.

I agreed. I am in Australia and most LFS servers are in Europe. This gives me a 300+ ping (sometimes even 400+ ping) most of the time, and it means all the cars are jumping across the track pretty intensely.

But when in iRacing, I can be on my phone's internet (3G teetering through iPhone 4, ping of 150+ even in local servers) AND on an European/American server with absolutely no visible lag whatsoever. I can have REALLY close racing comfortably. It is certainly something I can't do on LFS even with my fast internet.

"great multiplayer code"
no the net code for LFS is horrible.

Quote from jrd.racer :

I think I want it just to drive that track.

Tried it last night in an Ariel Atom. Best fun i have had in a while.

I just drove on the new California highway track in an Atom 300 and HOLY SHIT THATS THE MOST FUN I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

nice graphics, but WTF shift 2 physics? I'm so not buying this. I saw some gameplay and the physics are very bad. no oversteer or counter streering at all. nice graphics, but i have rfactor 2, lfs and iracing now, so no C.A.R.S

I hated Shift 1 and Shift 2. But I have to say CARS is much better than those two in the physics department. Much better than rFactor 2 if I have to be honest. I tried rFactor 2 and I have to say I am rather disappointed. The physics engine just feels so odd.

I have to say I am quite surprised by Mercedes' lack of pace.

Quote from Mustafur :

Red bull have faster race pace then Mclaren it seems.

Opposite of last year.

That's because Vettel is on the softer tyres while the McLarens are on the primes.

Yes. Perez hasnt stopped yet.

If the tyre wear is low, my money is on Hamilton. If the tyre degrades, my money is on Button.

hahaha the fact that he was serving Alonso makes me ten times more funny haha
