Worldwide Racing will be holding the first fully flagged league race on the Rockingham oval this Saturday at 15:00 UTC. The MHServers Rockingham 300(km) will be contested in the XRT, and the race will last 90 minutes if there are no safety car interventions. (Race is 127 laps)
We held a test day last Saturday, and I had a lot of fun. Especially in the XRT. The Rockingham oval drives nothing like the higher banked and longer Kyoto Ring. The draft is less effective at Rockingham, and to be honest, the aero induced understeer in the corners will lead to a really exciting race, because drafting won't help a group of cars pull away from the rest of the group. I'll have to share a reply of us testing the oval with XRT from last weekend. It was quite a blast.
Not too long of a race. Just long enough to get the tires hot. Wear management will play a large role in the event. Fuel will make it the distance easy, but the tires may not.
There is a lot of lifting in turn #4, and there's even a little bit in turn one while running with other cars.
Safe to say, if you didn't like oval racing at the Kyoto Ring, you might just like oval racing at Rockingham. This is the best car to experience it in. It has been voted as such

Base Set-up for XRT @ RO3 (Thanks to Flame CZE)
I know a lot of people won't have a set-up, but Flame CZE is letting me share his set-up (I've changed it to suit my less skilled driving style
).
It's a new era for Live For Speed. Don't miss out
