Nothing wrong with them in my opinion. We had some great races in them in the Roadsport Summer Cup. The RAC is very docile once you realise its limitations. Whilst it does certainly like to point with the front and drift with the rear, it's definitely not "snappy" and once you're prepared for how it behaves, which isn't really unusual for a car of that type, you'll never spin it.

you need to know the track very very well with the RAC to keep it in check. knowing where every bump is, every kerb which would unsettle the car is crucial, and even lifting just a tiny bit off the throttle going over these helps enormously to keep it pointing in the right dirongo.

I don't believe this for a second. Both, FZ50 and RAC can be controlled perfectly. We had great, close races with them on a high level.
RAC is just one of the cars which you cannot force beyond all bounds, unlike the noob cars like BF1 which basically drive for you and all you have to do is get the turn entrance right.

"noob cars like BF1"

What other cars would you rate as easy to drive? I'm intrigued.

Well, you'll have to drive the BF1 like a newbie: Throw the rear end around and let the TC sort the mess out... You don't believe me? Look at some WR-laps and be astonished how much they slide around... Aston GT is a good example, and I'm sure it's even worse at South City...

I like the RAC except for the fact it's turbo charged.

Personally I love the RAC. It's an absolute nightmare to control, and that's why No roll bar on the back is nasty, and that turbo can spin you before you even realise it's kicked in.

Great fun

I didn't say it couldn't be driven under control but it's the same thing as sticking spikes to your nose, it's not impossible but it's definately painful. LX6 was same way total pain in the ass before April patch, maybe FZ50 and RAC just requires another tyre physics patch before you can drive them in a more sophisticated way.

Bad thread, made me to test RAC, 2 hours wasted, nooo, it was real fun, but I could not find anyone who would like to race RAC at Blackwood

Then I made setup and drove 1:23.020, last time I drove LFS at April, that is 6 months ago, back then I did not know how to setup car, but now I know some basics and how to calculate proper dampers and springs, etc, modding is good thing

Here is my setup, I guess it is not best possible, but I'm curious to know how much faster fast guys can go with it?

One thing that was disturbing me was that if I keep tire pressure very low, car goes much better and faster, like sidewalls would grip more than tire tread?

How come nobody in this thread is having a go at this?

I don't like to drive with bad setups, I know it is just me, but I don't see point in bad setup racing

Thats why its called a "challenge".

I like the RAC. It's too bad there aren't more servers running the road car class. Yeah it is a little hard to drive even with the latest patches. but still
I think it's alot more fun than FOXes or the GTR cars. But apparently most other people don't look at it that way.

I dunno how the real version handles, but the one in the game seems to handle more like a car bigger than it really is. It handles more like a 70's Camaro or something. At least thats what it sorta reminds me of espescailly when cornering. It also seems to get really light when it gets going really fast. Like if it had wings, it would come off the ground.
Personally, I think the FZ 50 is a lot harder to drive than the RAC. I mean ALOT harder. That car drives more like a .. a .. Freight Train?
I dunno it could be because the FZR is so easy to use that the shock of the plain ol FZ's handling is overwhelming and makes the car even that much harder to use.

I find the FZ5 ALOT easier than the RAC I guess at the end of the day it comes down to driver perception. If they feel they have a connection with the car they do well in it, if not they get frustrated

I just dont like its powerband. Otherwise it rocks!
..even with Dave's silly challenge setup

I love it! me and a mate race it against each other all the time.. no one else ever joins the server though lol!
