@Daiman Patel ,

Is TC medium and ABS available? I like driving the GT3 SLS as the real drivers. I'm not that hardcore.

Only Low TC and no ABS at the moment, but I can change it.

I'm probably going to be in the same boat as you, and will need an aid or two to help keep me going for 2 hours - I fear crashing out even before I get to Nordkehre on the first lap!

Sign me up please! I will go for the Mercedes!

Any chance for a Civic gearbox mod?

I could do it, but we would need a change for the Seat as well (I would have to ask for permission for that). I found it still pretty fun as you have more power in the mid speed corners with the shorter gears. The straight is annoying, but gives some time to enjoy the views

May I ask why the Porsche isnt available for this race?

They were taken out, because they are both conversions and not up to the same level as the Apex Merc and the ISI cars (Apex Modding is currently working on the physics for the Porsche and Corvette to improve them). Additionally we wanted to see how the ISI cars work with the Merc, so it is better to reduce the number of GT3 cars to the once that are in focus in terms of BOP. The Seat and Civic are in to see how the multiclass racing is working round the track and if slower cars like the Clio could be added.

Ah okay, I didnt know that they were conversions. Were they converted from the rFactor 1 version or from somewhere else?

As far as I know from the rF1 version of the Apex Modding GT3 mod, but they have some more content in the works for rF2

Any news on that?

I havent invested time into it so far. I did however raced with the Seat Leon against @Dennis Coufal yesterday and if the Seat and Civic get more top speed they can be really big trouble for the GT3 cars.

I would say I prepare a version of the Honda and contact the Seat modder to get permission to change it. So if it doesnt work out for this round, we would have them at least for the next event.

Juergen · Jan 21, 2015

Thanks. I was asking, because i was thinking about, to take the Honda. But with the short 6th gear, is annoying on the Doettinger...

Frederic Schornstein · Jan 21, 2015

Yep, I can understand that it is pretty booring with these two cars.
I have to see, if the Honda is encrypted, but I think it is not. Would you prefer just a bit longer 6th gear or in general a gearbox with more options as you dont really need the 1st and 2nd gear in the Civic on the Nordschleife?

Juergen · Jan 21, 2015

If you`re asking me, I really prefer allways a fully tweakable gear box.

But a bit longer 6th gear for the Doettinger would be fine, too.

Ok, I will have a look at it today and send you a testversion in case I get some good results.
