New R3E impressed user

[leikerman]

Hello to everyone,

(a little brick)
It´s been now a few years using Iracing and lately AC. Wasn´t aware my Iracing suscription will last till next February and missed the black friday renewal offer, so while I wait till the next offer (summer I guess) and after seeing there were discounts in R3E I picked two days ago a bunch of packs for a bit less than 50 euros:

-American and European tracks, ADAC 2013 and 2014, Hillclimb, WTCC 2013 (for Suzuka), GTR2, Group 5, Touring Classics, DTM 92, M1 Procar, Daytona Proto (enjoyed a looot Iracing endurance races with the Riley Daytona prototype) and Radical. It was quite in a rush because I saw the offer was lasting only up to midnight and found it at 23:20h so I missed the WTCC 2014 and the DTM 2015 you guys recomend here.

Last time I tried Raceroom was at the very beginning and could not find then the Fanatec compatibility so I deleted it from the computer, but after reading the GTO Class Preview I decided to go for it and give another opportunity.

Just yerterday night I configured the wheel etc and finally went to the track with the Capri at Zanvoort combo. Ooooohhhh my God... What was supposed to be a two laps trial at midnight before going to bed were finally 90kms of pure enjoyment with a constant smile tatooed in my face. Amazing fun time I had with that beast, I couldn´t stop till I lost concentration due sleep and the accident made me park the car.

Will do some more trials this days with other cars and tracks and will see what I have to do to join some practices/races with other users here. I definetely had a terrific time I guess won´t be the last with this sim.

See you!

I have to admit I spent quite a long time yesterday AGAIN with the Capri at Zanvoort. Honestly, the best marketing those guys can do to gain customers is to put the audio files in the ears of others sim players because R3E really shines in this point.

I tried then the DTM 92 Mercedes in Mid Ohio and the Volvo at Zolder. There´s one thing I find: I can push hard those cars and I never spin, never have a wipe effect throwing me to the fences like in Iracing, cars seem to go a bit on rails (OK, Capri maybe not) even in Get Real mode. I am no way a fast driver, I am always in the back pack in races so maybe I am not pushing them hard enough, but at my same driving level I find easy not to have accidents in R3E.



Thanks Kenny, I´ll take a look at the leagues. One rookie question: are here some "practice" sessions available at all times were we can drive with other drivers on track without racing? (yep, used to Iracing )

yep .. DTM92 are a bit glued to the tarmac .. it always suprises me how much you can get out of low aero, mostly mechanical grip in R3E .. start to enjoy those "oh **** too fast .. ou I`m fine" moments ... expect to be few seconds faster in all cars than you are used to be in other sims ..
