Tuner section, HPA Motorsports. Unlike the factory tuners, in the bottom right, you can get complete vehicles. In retrospect, I shoulda picked the Spoon S2000 Race Car & 100k in mods... oh well, there's always next week.

I know I can do better but quite honestly I'm having a hard time staying interested in putting around in a rice-burning VW since I recently aquired a pair of group c racecars.

Well I wanted to run it with the polyphony formula car.. but then everybody would have to run the Nurburgring 24 hour enduro. However, anybody else should feel free to pick this car. I have 5.

Post by: newguy on April 07, 2005, 10:18:56 AM: ok guys got my wheel set up and working now, question though, are wheel users allowed to use active steering in the steering options section? I know we arent allowed ot use it on the cars but there seems to be another option in the steering setup.

I believe any of the steering settings in options are your perogative. Use whatever is comfortable & easy for you to drive with. However, in the settings for the car itself, we're running our league here with TCS & ASM disabled.

Post by: newguy on April 10, 2005, 08:27:25 PM: 56.464. I'm done driving this car. I'd be interested in seeing the setup of the winning car. I went with Racing wheels (the10k ones) instead of the full custom tranny. cant remember the rest of it but it seemed like you had enough for just about everything.

Post by: nuchpatrick on April 12, 2005, 07:16:42 AM: I'm shot for racing this week. So I will have to default and let Swoop pick car and track. I have to go out of town for a confrence and will not have time to participate. I will attempt to post my setup when I run back home to get my things. I don't care for leaving the car at the airport. So I should have time to post it. :(
