Welp. There were three 1st lap crashes and I was an innocent victim of all three...


I urge ALL of you to take the new Glick to the Nordschleife. OMG IT'S AMAZING!!!!

OMG How was it? How are the new cars? how is the update?
Coming home saturday night

Update is very good, FFB is smooth so more valuable informations coming through. I used only SCG for now but it's just awesome. Race was a little mess but I think it's not that easy to have clean run with full grid ;p

@Herbie new cars are nice from what I've tried. Huracan is heavy with straight line speed up there with SLS/GTR, but lift off oversteer is pretty extreme, and its pretty understeery.
Updates good, gt3 cars have gearbox safety which prevents rapid downshifts, which takes time to get used to!
Catalunya is fantastic.
edit: FFB was great until it cut out 1st lap into race 2! Weirdest bug I've encountered- my wheel pulled to the left throughout and had no feel! Hope thats an isolated issue because my shoulder hurts.

sorry guys ....sorry Oscar

No problem. It was pretty obvious that your car was getting away from you. I waited when we touched even though I am 95% sure you lost it before I got there. Wasn't on you though if you had some wheel issues.

Mostly good. Very fun. Marked improvement from Kunos from where I was sat. Most of the racing was excellent with minor exceptions so I'll want to be trying my hand at this again

Thanks for the race Ricardo.

Ended up 8th in the first race, but that was way higher than I should have been. I sucked in the second race mainly because I went from cautious to trying to overdrive the car. After I realized that and let the car do what it should, I was turning some solid 1:52s and a couple of 1:51s. Looking at the lap times for the second race, I am extremely happy with that seeing those times were only 2s off of the best times......and I still have no clue how to get around this track at all

Just tried the Huracan, it is so much faster than the R8 with default setups :o Just beat the fastest race lap in similar conditions

It was a great race yeserday. I was hyped for that 1.3 update, but deep down I wasn't expecting too much, especially after a long overdue and not-that-impressive 1.2 update. I updated the game, bought the DLC, and came straight to practice on the server. For some reason, it felt great right away! Maybe it's the new tyre model, the 64 build, the "new" FFB, I don't know. Just a great feeling.

The new Catalunya track looks and feels amazing, and it's great that we can now have almost the whole freaking Blancpain grid! . Watching the replay should be rated R for car porn (yes, Hurracán, I'm thinking of you). Here are some shots from yesterday's race.

It looks great but drives even better apparently. My 80 laps in R8 vs 4(!) laps in Huracan produces this (and was -0.7 in the Huracan when crashed)
