[Senad Subasic]

Fancy. Add me to the list please.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

yes please

 

[Warren Dawes]

You cunning devil Knut.

I just downloaded and tried this car out at Hilltop. Brilliant combo.
This is almost Richard Burns Rally transformed into GTL. In default setup, it is sideways drifting through nearly every corner, but the car just handles nicely sideways.

Dunno if that was the fastest way around Hilltop in this car, but sure is massive fun.

Add me to the list Knut, couldn't possibly miss this one.

 

[Konstantin Paul]

Sign me up,please.

A little video to give everyone a sneak preview.
Not a flash lap, need to practice getting the slides better timed, but maybe it encourages a few to join this one.

 

[Hans Sneep]

The update creates a new folder. There is now "Jaguar D-Type" and "Jaguar type D". Is this correct?

 

[Rupe Wilson]

yes Senad now you delete the folder Jaguar D-Type and keep the folder Jaguar type D and your good to go.. then instal the other 2 updates

this is how i understood it and it worked on the server last night.
but i had to leave when internet was cut off...sorry guys..


Edit ignore post got it the wrong way round..

 

[Rupe Wilson]

i also find the Dunlop vintage tyres more stable for me... im no king of drift...Eck was killing it last night..

@Senad Subasic
@Rupe Wilson

If you look at the first post I have included some instructions for installing the mod. The folder "Jaguar type D" needs to be deleted

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I'm not a real big slider of cars either, it's not my preferred method of navigating around circuits.

One thing I look at if cars are particularly unruly is the ride heights, particularly the disparity between front & back.

The D-Type has 2.5cm diff between the front and rear, with the rear higher. I raised the front a click and lowered the rear a click so it's only 1.5cm diff, and stability increased a lot, at the expense of some turn-in, into a slightly more (relatively) understeery feel
