Oh Günther I love you!
I will marry you!!!

 

[Günthar Rowe]

I have asked and received no response on quite a few forums. The closest I have to an answer was here with regards to the Touring Masters mod made from the full TCL mod, which was no (not that I was looking at modding the RDTC, but the question was answered before I asked )

I have released a newer beta build the German car for testing

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

I haven't gotten around to testing the new build yet Gunthar - if I get time tomorrow, I'll give it a quick whirl around a few tracks.

Alrighty, I've given the "mystery car" some testing around Spa and the Nordschleife. First impressions are very good... it's a refreshing new experience driving this thing. It's more or less on par with the M3 when it comes to pace, but it's more hard-sprung, and thus a bit more nervous over bumps and flatter through the turns. As a result, it's more snap-oversteery and slightly harder to drive, but that is by no means a bad thing. Apart from the fact that the skins are completely blank tongue I can't really see much that needs to be changed, unless other testers have something different to say...

The skins are coming Saying that 2 of them are white so really would have just sponsors added...

You are so demanding they are on their way ...
- feel free to send me some material/pictures etc via PM, it's really hard doing proper skins with bad resources...

 

[Günthar Rowe]

I have just had a preview of the new skins and am in love with #57!

Guilty as charged.

Can't wait to see the new skins.

I have completed quite a number of laps in this car and I really like it. Handeling is good and the car looks fantastic. I am not rear wheel drive specialist but I think the car is very close to the M3.
Good work.

New build released for Beta tester....

 

[Günthar Rowe]

Skins for the WTCC87 German are now finished. Special thanks to Niels Pedersen!!

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

I'll give this new build a test very soon. There have been many distractions these last few days...

 

[Eric Nelson]

If you need a track pony to be ridden just send it over and I will thrash it a bit!

 

[Günthar Rowe]

Thanks Eric, but I have been looking for good test drivers and really, RD rank #6 is a bit average isn't it?!?!

ha!

Check you PM's, all the details are in there for you. look forward to your feedback.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Alrighty, I've given it another test. It drives very well, and times-wise is matched to the BMW more or less seamlessly (I took all the cars, including the AE86, out on Donington and the Top Gear Test Track, and though my laps were pretty shabby and could do with some refinement, both the new car and the M3 were within a few tenths of each other). It seems to have an edge over the Bimmer overall, but it's quite understeery and more edgy overall, so it cancels it out a bit. That should make for some fun racing.

Nothing more to report from this end at the moment...

 

[Stefan Werner]

Günthar, sorry for my lack of feedback on the last build. My desktop died in September and I ended up taking a two month vacation from sim racing. I am back behind the wheel now, although still working at limited capacity with my laptop. If you still need feedback on the latest builds of the wtcc87/ae86 add-on's, I'd be more than happy to do some laps for you.
