rF2 GT3 Club @ Laguna Seca - Sat 19th April

Dennis · Apr 6, 2014

For the 4th installment of rF2 GT3 Club we return to North America - the land of opportunity - and one of the most renowned race circuits in the States - Laguna Seca. Will we finally see another driver challenge for the top step of the podium at a fun but unpredictable track, where anything could happen, or will the consistent front runners triumph yet again?! Whatever happens, this is set to be a cracker, as for the first time we shall also be racing into the night, by moonlight. Join us for what we expect to be one hell of a thrill ride, as you try to ease the mighty beasts through fast, sweeping corners, tame their ferocity around hairpins and across undulations, and thread the monstrous noise and sheer power through the Corkscrew - for 60 minutes, in the dusk! This could either be an opportunity to overcome fears of the dark, or your worst nightmare come true - all in the name of fun, of course!

Oh man just tried it for 4 Laps it is so addicting! Quality seems really great. It is really bumpy. A real car killer.

Ricardo Edelmann · Apr 7, 2014

Yeah i really like it

and i'd really like to post my hotlap time here because i'm really proud of it

but unfortunately i can't

But i think i can say i'm just a second slower than the real world laptime record

Kevin Cox · Apr 7, 2014

Yes yes yes!! Sign me up!!

Lou Sytsma · Apr 7, 2014

Sweet conversion. Much less graphical jaggies than the Monza track.

It's interesting to compare this to the iRacing version. That one kills you if you go wide on a certain turns this one is much more forgiving.

But Good Lord! The bumps!!! Especially down the corkscrew are unreal!!! It feels more like you a riding a bull than driving a car!!!!!!!!!

BTW - does the Porsche collision box bug exist on this track too? If so, so we refrain from using it?

Ricardo Edelmann · Apr 7, 2014

the porsche bug will exists on every track... its a problem with the hitbox of the car and has nothing to do. the modmakers are informed about that issue and are working on a fix.. maybe the fix is ready til the race

If not, will we still be allowed to use the car? Seems unfair to the other drivers, no?
