Cars Veloce GTS-8 1.5

Stereo · Jun 16, 2019

What about everyone's favorite tiny v8, the double hayabusa? 380hp at 10k rpm doesn't feel like as much power as it is, and the one that got in an ariel atom allegedly weighs under 100kg.

you should use something we also have sound for.. does the Lotus 72D fit maybe?

I had the feeling this car is too quick at the moment, in the hands of the AI at least.

I thought these two were mutually exclusive

Fit it with something crazy like a gas turbine, Veloce TX

Talking of crazy I ran out of fuel yesterday on a hilly section and started to dream of a soap box course and car in AC, probably a topic for a different thread though.

Well you know me, if someone makes the track...

Or a pedal car where you have to use the accelerator and the clutch pedal alternately to move forward.

Keeping an eye on this!

As this thread was resurrected I decided to spend some time with this car again. I hadn't been driving long when I tried it the first time and I really didn't have the skill to keep it on the road very long

I have been sim racing for a couple more years now, but this thing is still a devil to drive! It's very rewarding when it decides to play nicely, but it is still one of the most difficult cars to drive hard.

I really should have used this car much more than I have done in the past

Setup is king for this one! With a half decent setup it's a lot easier to drive than with the stock one!

Fat-Alfie · Jun 16, 2019

Do you have anything that you could share, or any suggestions to alter the setup?

SvenUilhoorn · Jun 16, 2019

Sure! And a big thanks for your work on all those tracks!

..and like in most "vintage" h-shift cars: downshift late!

Kinda leaning toward trying a "GTS-6" version with a Porsche 3.6 making around 350bhp.

A3DR · Jun 17, 2019

I like where this is going

aphidgod · Jun 17, 2019

Me too. I worked up a GTS-6 last night. Super fun.

Also did a bit of fixing to the suspension, changed the wheels a bit, adjusted the brakes, reworked inertia, sorted an aero bug, tweaked the default setup and dropped in completely different tires from the C6 Z06. (Thanks @mclarenf1papa )

Still a little work to do on the 8, mostly setup stuff, but it's coming along nicely.
