Sorry I'll miss this race.

Sorry I'll miss this race.

Yeah me too as this is shaping up to be a good start for the new and improved club. Hope we see you next week.

Damn it I just realized that the DTM2016 have MUCH BETTER GRIP than these.
Oh well here comes another big learning curve

It's funny because it's true.
Since last December's major update the DTM 2016 handles somewhat better now. Unfortunately, the reverse has occurred to so many others. With the loss of back end grip on exit, excessive oversteer which is virtually impossible to dial out completely despite having some outrageous settings in the setup menu.
Breaking into corners as if you were on ice. You've only got to try one of the German Nationals as an example. Take one for a spin and remember these are racing cars. Not that you'd know it.
I don't know if Sector 3 has got a tyre model, probably not. If it has or not I don't know but whatever is causing this unrealistic stimulation and IMO it certainly needs some work done.
I just get the impression in making the cars harder to drive is an attempt to say it's more realistic. This false impression makes the game significantly dilutes from a true realism for a sloppy one.

Calling things fixed doesn't mean they're fixed just for the sake of using the word for impression purposes. To me, it means they have changed something which doesn't mean it's right or fixed. In these circumstances.
It is obvious to me that some cars appeared to behave as they should "now" but many others do not.

So I actually feel the opposite on the handling of the cup car now. To me they are easier to drive fast now. Once you’ve spent a decent amount of time in the car, it starts to become clear how it wants to be driven. The limit of traction is just pushed to a different area of rotation. It oversteers once you get comfortable with a little off power turn in followed by modulating throttle to point it in the right direction. It is still a Porsche after all, and really a street car with sticky tires. I’m not sure how accurate the tire model is, but this car just takes time.

 

[Calvyn White]

Got to agree with Dan, as this car does drive in a manner that makes sense. Brakes as it should and comes out a corner just like a Porsche should. I would give it an 8 out of 10. I would probably give it a 9 if it wasn't for the funny fourth gear. But I think that's just a sound issue and nothing more.
I'm not saying this because I'm at the top of the leaderboard as I genuinely feel it's a good car that works as it should and exercise my bragging rights. And I have now added to my pick and go list. Ones that I would be bothered to drive.

Just another quick question about the pit generation David. As there is no mandatory pit stop do the pits still work as if there was? Opens 10 minutes after the start and closes 10-minutes before the end for example.

The pits are technically always open but with mandatory pit stops a window is set by the game to meet this requirement. With mandatory stops removed I believe there is no restrictions on pits.

I back this statement

Very late but I am in

Been ages since we raced these, I forgot how close things could get. Great fun racing @Steve Le Gallez in race one, shame about your off or it would have gone all the way to the end. The only slight advantage I had over you was the braking into T2. Couldn't hold @PurgerUK off in race two. I'm going to call my finish 3rd, since I was gifted the win by an incident.

Good racing guys.

 

[Steve Le Gallez]

I agree @Ross Garland , brilliant racing by all, very courteous & a great bunch of guys. Now, how the hell are we going to slow @PurgerUK down?

Good racing after around 2.5 year away. Good to be back.
Had a good fight with @2112 in the first race. Great close battle.
And in race 2 I had the lead and was trying to hold @PurgerUK. Amazing pace. Sorry once again for last lap incident

Shame that this cars seem to attract so little atention as it did back when I raced here. They are proper fun and allow for some good close racing

I think this would have been the first time an event has come up since December's update. I know it's been a while but all the same, I was wondering has anybody that has taken part noticed any notable change in the cars handling.

I can't really remember the subtleties since it's been so long, but I felt like my Cupra had far less lift-off over-steer then before. It was necessary to fudge your suspension setup to tame it pre-patch, but last night I was running default suspension and it felt absolutely fine. That was with very little rear wing too, and it still felt pretty stable. Over-steer was easy enough to induce if wanted, but it felt controlled rather than a "flaw" I had to deal with.

Information​

Welcome to the Multi-Class Series! This will be a short stint of races over the next four weeks featuring the popular P2 and GTR 3 classes. The idea of these events is to be a step up from our regular club racing, while remaining friendly and open to all. Details of the rounds are as follows:

11/04/20 - Round 1: Silverstone Grand Prix
18/04/20 - Round 2: Monza Grand Prix
25/04/20 - Round 3: Hungaroring Grand Prix
02/05/20 - Round 4: Suzuka Grand Prix

Before you sign up, please be aware of the following differences from our regular club racing:

1) Participation in all events in the series is not mandatory. You can can sign up or not, as you please.

2) You must stick with the same class throughout the series. Switching cars within that class is fine.

3) Progress over rounds will be tracked, but there are no prizes and the winner will not see their name put up in lights on RD or anywhere else. It's just for fun.

4) If you sign up, you are expected to finish the race. Deliberate DNFs will be excluded from future rounds, and possibly future series.

5) Full damage will be enabled, which includes the flat-spotting of tyres.

6) Mandatory pit means you must pit at least once, but are free to pit as many times as you like overall. (ie, you can pit to repair damage or change flat-spotted tyres at any time.)

7) Despite the extra "competition", you are expected to abide by all of the regular club racing rules. The Golden Rule absolutely still applies to these events.

8) The official practice session has been cut to 15 minutes so that these events start/finish at roughly the same times as usual. However, the server will be up and open for practice well before the event officially starts.
