No way you can even come close to putting power to the ground effectively with a choice between 0% and 100% throttle application.

PS:  Ive got an extra one of the new Logitech Wheels NIB if anyone is interested.

The differencial is mandatory, even with the wheel. If you leave it stock, you will smoke tires for the whole lap, even in 5th. Look at the replay, only 1 wheel is spining, pretty well done :cool:

When you play with the pad, you need to quickly tap the accelerator rather than just pressing it. It makes a big difference.

You can't compete if you don't have the HP, but you have to have just enough handling and braking to keep it on the track.  
In real life braking is even bigger because of overheating.  Most of the vintage races at Laguna Seca are decided by who has brakes left after 10 laps.  Turn 11 runoff gets pretty busy.  :)

Er......well.......tell him welcome to the race series and we're happy to have him but he's gotta win one before he can issue challenges.


And what did we decide about cars that have TCS in RL?

Right now it says only real life driving aids.  So a Camaro has TCS and ASM off, but an M3 can use them if the driver wants.  If the no-wheel guys end up getting pounded regularly then I say we let them use aids too.

1:34.241. 440hp, similar to funked's, but no port & polish. got a tripple-plate clutch & carbon driveshaft instead. I'm also running a pretty odd gear ratio, shifting into 4th at around 103. 4th is short, pushing to 118, and getting to the top of 5th at the end of the straight. Most of the track is run in 2nd & 3rd :)


fyi, whoever picked this ride should be kneecapped. i miss my ufos :(

Hehe.  I fired up Gt3 while I'm waiting for my copy of 4 to arrive.  1:26.32 in a stock camaro.  I can't wait to try it with the 1st gen beast.
