hot on the heals of the Nordsclieffe, the Cup version of the 911 is now available
Did you have a chance to drive RaceRoom version? It’s quite unstable with max brake pressure and generally tricky to drive. I read it’s not that easy to drive IRLI agree with you . I tried every damn thing in car setup but that braking doesn’t feel good at all for me.

You should read a little, it's well known that 5 degrees and even more is what the car uses iRL. If it's not heating up it's either you didn't do proper warmup or a flaw in the simulation.OK guys, I tested the car on the Nordschleife for a few laps.
The Camber in the default setup is set to crazy values. Front and back Camber was at -5°. So you never got heat into the tires, because the car doesn't roll that much, too let the tires lay flat on the track in corners.
Lowering the negative Camber to -3.2° on the front and -2.6° on the back heats the tires evenly if you push a little bit.
Much more grip in corners and more stable now. You get heat to rhe front pretty quick now. Maybe a little less pressure on the back is needed to.

I don't know which version Nicki Thiim drove but he rated RRE one the worst.I find the raceroom version far superior in feel and driveability. You can really push that car and balance it mid turn. Not so much with rf2.
Maybe the old cup car in raceroom, but after they updated the tires it’s been amazing.

Whose to say which sim is more "correct"? Unless you've actually driven and raced the real car you'll never really know, so to say one version is "far superior" doesn't actually mean anything really. It's all a matter of opinions based on nothing more than what you "think" it should drive like, the fact it's perhaps different in each sim is really neither here nor there.... That's where we'd need a real life driver to tell us and maybe more than one!
(For the record I'm not saying the RF2 version is the "best" or "correct" one, i wouldn't know as I've not driven it in real life!...but i do trust in the Devs and testers from S397)
All the more reason for Nicki to do new video!@dajdosta I'm fairly sure the comparison is with the old version of the car.

Can anybody ask Nicki to make new comparison video with RF2 ?
Did you have a chance to try it in any other sims? It's very rare real racers review cars in rF2. iRacing version was tested by people who raced it IRL and opinions about handling realism were (surprise!) mixed. One of them said it felt spot on, but he was involved with iRacing. Generally they say it's not bad, but GT cars are more realistic in iRacing.not wrong. That's the ballpark of real life ratio.
been years since i've ran the cup n2, but overall the car is fairly believable out of the box compared to the real life counterpart. the default toe could use a tweak and i gotta dig into my notes on what the diff preload is set at after the car finished the shakedown but other than that it's not that fictional at all. Even the brake bias is surprisingly within range (not torque bias, just based on line pressure).
not entirely sold on how the fronts heat up relative to the rears as well as the sausage kerb compliance, but outside of that i'd say it's acceptable comparing to the gen 2 cup car i've dealt with before. If they'd clean the dash up and the sound a bit it'd be a bit more authentic, but i gave up on getting good interiors from these guys.
BTW, funny thing I've noticed in regard of the Cup Car having too much performance for its own good - the Cup Car has about 10 kph higher top speed on the Döttinger Höhe straight than the BMW M8 GTE in the standard trim. Despite the GTE being able to do a 24h layout lap pretty much a minute or so faster (if not more) due to much better...everything

More or less...if more or less means over 100 hp of difference with the same weight.Less Aero, more or less same HP

People say rF2 version is close to RaceRoom's and it's probably not bad.
