RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Tygernoot - 10-10-2019
Excellent
. I can make it to race 1, 2 and 4.Perhaps we can opt for the new Nordschleife track if everyone's OK to purchase it?
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Fergy - 10-10-2019
I'd better get cracking on those 2ltr 1954 beasts... they hate me
Happy to look at the Nords paid version but how much better is it really?
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Tygernoot - 10-10-2019
I just figured we could use the latest and greatest track, as long as all participants are OK to do so
Up to everyone to decide whether it's worth the euros.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Fergy - 10-10-2019
I better get off my butt and purchase it.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Edvvc - 10-10-2019
Very pleased that we're going racing again! Some great car/track combinations there. Obviously I am very much hoping that we use the Studio 397 Nordschleife.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Edvvc - 12-10-2019
The 1954 cars, especially the 2 litre ones, have the most brutal lift off oversteer because there's a huge amount of engine braking. I don't know if the actual Maserati A6GCS would do this, but in the game if you just lift off in first gear the rear wheels start to lock up, so lifting off is like pulling the handbrake. I really enjoy the challenge though and its fun to have something different to manage through car control as I can't see much in the setup to compensate without compromising its turn-in ability.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 4x4 Championship - Official Announcement - Tygernoot - 12-10-2019
I tried a few laps, initially without checking the HP of the different cars, and I accidentally took the slowest car lol. I could manage a lap with that one though... Then tried the one with max HP, and I couldn't make it through a single lap haha. Sometimes I didn't even manage to get past the first straight without crashing when shifting! Crazy cars, totally unpredictable. Hope it goes better after some more testing, and I can finally manage a lap without crashing :p

I find the drop from 3rd to 4th ok its the drop to 2nd where it gets hairy , you have to get the speed off the car to get the downshift smooth , just forget you have a first gear

Sounds like fun.. I'll be able to race the 2nd round

As for the raindrops i thought the indycars didnt race in the wet , when they came over to the UK at Rockingham they wouldnt start the race because one corner was damp , they used mobile dryers to clean it up .

I'll do some laps this evening and see if I can feel the same thing DC.

Do IndyCars race in the wet? Do they ever! Highlights from this year's eventually wet Indy GP:
Unfortunately I'm working late on Sundays again so unable to race.
