I have tried 2 cars so far, the Williams and the Ferrari, and here are my thoughts...
They sure are fun once you find a setup that works, the default one really is crap. These two cars seem very well matched, I think! I did a 1:51.0 in the Williams yesterday, and had to work pretty hard to beat it with the Ferrari today, and ended up on 1:50.7 even though it was far from a perfect lap. The Ferrari is harder to drive, because it's really oversteery on the throttle out from the corners. I had to increase diff power lock and detach the rear ARB to make it drivable. The Williams is much nicer and you can go full throttle a lot earlier, also it has much more downforce in general because even with wings at 1/1 it's quite slow in straight line. With the Ferrari I put wings at 4/7 to reach the same top speed on the longest straight (about 278 km/h). So the Ferrari can go much faster, but I never tried it with lowest possible wings, I like to have some downforce even tho it's Silverstone..
Don't have more time for testing now, gonna take a look at the other cars this weekend. I think me and Robert might enter this season as a team but he will probably do more races... I might do 1 or 2
Btw, could we have some rubber on the test server? looks green. Best thing would be to save the real road after a few people have done some laps, then put it on server and set "real road time scale" to STATIC!
