Here is a noobie qustion....
The cars have a clutch, i know why.... They use it when starting from a standstill. But do they use it during race?
And on the movie he was pushing to clutch pedal often. Why do he do that?

When you heel-and-toe you need the clutch for downshifting as well. If you do it all correct the rear end will be very stable on RWD cars using the clutch.

nice orange bmw on brands

Colin Turkington wil drive the orange bmw on brandshatch.
The BTCC driver who is currently 5th in the championship is keen to perform well on his home track.
He has a very good score on both times the BTCC raced there.
Both times he drove a pole position and finisht twice second and one victory.

So Colin Turkington is defently a man to watch out for.

 

[David Garcia]

Yes....it´s a cool car!

I wish I had one of those...! :whoo:

I've done a skin for this car

will see how the orange looks on track when game comes out...

also, I made this skin before the above annoucement was made honest :first:

 

[Jamie Wilson]

I made this skin some time ago for a certain rF mod

... and, browing my webspace, I found this from way back:

I did some for the XRT, RB4, and FXO too - I used them on the then-STCC servers for months.
