Love the Joshua Sauer pic in your avatar btw.. Night Lustig.
Yeah, I'm Dutch. But I have a couple of his books from the night lustig series. Brilliant stuff.

Thnx Gutholz for the reply. I have found the AMG servers full of good and clean racing. Turning down my graphics ( even though it seems to run fine ) does help a bit with the kicks. But i still do get the occasional kick.
My connection is topnotch. Showing pings as low as 20. So that's all good.
Glassfibre 300mbs up and down. And in house a gigabit netwerk. So no problems there. I might find some optimisation in the router/switch settings. Off course I shut alsmost everything else down when racing. Maybe I should shutdown my firewall off aswel. But I am quite reluctant to let down my security. rather have it all buttoned up. For as far as that helps me.
So off to finding better setups. And tweaking the system.
Cu out there!
Kind regards,
Superdorsser

I would like to see some mid-engine cars. There are not many in de current lineup. Should make for interesting handeling. The likes of Lotus Elise, Exige, Evora for the smaller up to 300BHP models. And perhaps more Honda NSX style for 300 to 500BHP cars.
If entire classes should be the case the European, asian en australian GT scene could be of inspiration.
DTM ( front engine wide body downforce )
Japanese Super GT ( Mostly mid-engine wide body )
GT300 / GT500
With these classes you will cover a lot of the cars people like to see.
BMW / Audi /Mercedes silhout racers
Subaru BRZ / Toyota GT / Lexus LFA / Honda F10 / Honda NSX / Nissan Skyline
But like previous post also state. Some low BHP cars with neat handeling are always nice for close racing. So the Elise would be great to.

Hello there racers!!
I have done some laps in LFS before, a long time ago. And thought it was pretty good. Went and drove a lot of other sims. Spent a lot of time playing GT series on PS3. But now I have come back to PC sim racing. For some more serious online racing. And I found that altough there are a lot of games out there. Not many managed to capture my attention as much as I ( or the developers themselves) would like.
Assetto Corsa is pretty good. But like most games i found it is mostly spectacular graphics and sounds. But the cars themselves don't feel as "alive". I don't feel connected. best feeling i used to have were with GPL, GTL and LFS. So I decided to give LFS another go. Forked out the 24 pounds for the S2 licence. But find I am curently stil mostly online with the free content. More players, and my rating is nog yet high enough to enter most S2 content.
I am having some difficulties. Keep getting spectated in the first corner for lag spikes/issues which i don't quite get. The game runs smooth, but I do see some stutters when cars start bouncing around in the first corner. (perhaps i should trim my detail down ) have the framerate pegged at 60fps. Should be fine. it runs great offline with 20 cars on track @ 1920x1080.
and it is hard to find a room with people actually racing seriously. But hey i'm new. i'll tweak the system and find the racerooms eventually.
the cars feel fantastic!!!! Finally a sim that onderstands and manages to convey the feeling of a sliding car to the simmer. At last a car that starts moving about when braking hard. Instead of this magic grip boundery that get's exceded with snap under/oversteer as a consequence. This sim manages to make me feel the little nuances, bumbs and difference in traction in a captivating maner. I can "feel" the tires in this. great stuff.
I am enjoying my time on track. But now if I could only enjoy racing in the pack for more then just the run down to the first corner. ( were I get bumped to spectator mode for lag, making me race the rest of the race with half a lap down restarting from the pits )
And I definatly need to find another 3 seconds in my laptimes around BW GP. 1:37 is not going to cut it in the XR GT.
that needs to be 1:34 or better.
"leaves forum and starts tinkering with diff and suspension settings some more"
Good fun! Happy racing! And see you all on the track!! hopefully most of you in close proximity trading paint racing door to door, tiresmoke and laptimes!
