can someone tell me why it is near on impossible to drive the old f1s and f2s i just cannot get them around the track with any confidence , the f3 is fine , is there some setting to make them more drivable
Maybe if i try it in first gear only i can drive it lol
uhmmm, have you ever driven a real race car in the wet. Lets put it this way, it easy to spin a single seater in the rain, even in a straight line. I have done it before myself. Race cars are way lighter, more powerful and handle totally different from a road car. Thus its very easy to get it loose in the rain. From the sound of it you make it sound more realistic than what you might thinkhehehehe, even Noel can't drive some cars huh{he's a fast GTR driver}.....sooner or later people will realise how unrealistic these "sims" are.
I tried to drive the F3.5 in the wet and spun on a 10deg angle, yet this is a race car, anyone can take their road car in the wet and discover how much grip it has.
Please set off all driving aids and try again...
Practice masters. You shouldn't do a "quick go" but a long stint and build it up nicely.
lol..sometimes i think he is just being funny..good old KimmoKimmo is always a bit cranky so dont take it to personal.
I'm sorry, but i have to LOL at this

The fact that it's lighter means you can spin the wheels with less force from the engine, simply because there's less weight on the wheels. Same goes the other way. In a lighter car, it takes less torque at the brakes to lock the wheels. Weight transfer doesn't have a huge impact on that.uhmmmm, what about the fact that it's lighter{less weight transfer}, has HUGE amounts of downforce, shouldn't that ensure much better handling in the wet...
Didn't you see Martin Brundle driving a 50yr old Ferrari in the wet fighting for position?....I didn't see him slip sliding away.
This is like comparing apples and oranges. Trying to equate experience driving historic race cars or road cars to a modern single seater is a pointless discusion as they have little in common other than four wheels and the engine that drives them. I'm not trying to make comments on rF2's realism, there is certainly work left to do on that front, mearly pointing out the holes in that argument. Without actually having been a Formula Renault 3.5 driver I would find it absurd for someone to assert how the car should handle. When there is a Toyota Yarris 1.0 mod though, I'd be happy to pass judgement.Drive any reasonable sports car in the wet{your car is nearly a wet set up by default}, and see how much grip you've got, then search youtube for historic cars and wet weather, you'll see plenty of speed thru corners and especially small angle turns.
