Just in case there are any non-members lurking, you can get the new Audi for free when you make a new account with the promo code "PR-AUDI90".

Are there other cars in that class that might race against it? If there's a part 2 to the surprise it'd be kinda bad to buy this car this week if an option I might like better is coming up.

Next week, or on part 3 on the 27th (you know it's gonna happen) they will announce the series info. Either that will be the focus of part 2, or we can figure out the likely series based on the car that they announce next week. I'm guessing they have one more car ready to go... and two more either in progress, or scanned but not modeled.

Nobody is doing c class trucks nonfixed. Or at least they weren't last night. I want to do 75 laps  On the plus side all the fixed trucks I did had 3 or less yellow flags.

It's the kind of series that runs at specific times. Check out 8:15 and 9:15pm EST. Wet blanket alert - do you have a setup that can run 30.0? I think you're in for a huge disappointment if you run the open oval series without having a setup put together? I mean just my own experience here, but I knocked out my C fixed race for the week last night. I did well. I drove fast. I turned left with great success. My fastest lap of the race with the fixed setup was slower than all but 1 person in last night's open trucks. So with the same setup and same driving, I go from one of the 2 or 3 fastest people in my fixed race, to 16th fastest in an open race. No way around it, need that setup.

It has to be either Group 5 or full bore historic IMSA if they are doing an official series. I'd find it hilarious if historic IMSA ended up with better participation than current IMSA.

I understand your concerns about lack of setup. And I honestly don't care. I'll learn or try and learn, but need there to be people to bother learning.

If that's the case I like them just releasing the cars instead of endlessly repeating 'it's coming, no really we're working on it' like with the Renault and some tracks they're supposedly making. Also the audi at lime rock was fun, seems like I wasn't wayyy slow compared to some other goons in that session. Looking forward to gooncar next week (won't be in town this Sunday)

 This thing is bonkers. First draft of the livery is alright, but it needs a lot more filled in and I've barely drove it... so time to do a few more laps.

I had so much fun rowing gears and chuchuing all over. Also, for standing starts, if you floor it, put your heel on the brake and drag the clutch to build boost, you can smoke all four tires off the line. Ziploc fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Sep 14, 2016 |

It's a hoot at Spa, sick four-wheel drifts when accelerating out of both hairpins by the pits. I hope the next announcement is another in-class IMSA car. Mazda is a definite possibility, but they have also done some fairly recent scans of Aston Martins, and who knows what else was stored in the collections from any other scans they've done...

If all these hyped up announcements are just bits of content from the back catalogue that they've finished but not released I'd be fine with that as a mass content dump.

If you slam the brakes as hard as you can, it will stop on a dime, and hey you've got about a 1 in 8 chance of being pointed in the right direction too, so there's that.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Unspoilered since the news broke, but yeah this is basically what this car is going to end up being. So far my experience is that it's probably a little easier to accelerate than you might expect. But braking, forget it. The average user isn't going to have any time for the amount of delicacy needed to slow this thing down. You can basically put it in that "Sprint Car, Silver Crown, V8 Supercars for Americans, Cup cars on road courses" curiosity pile once the novelty wears off. It's fine and if you have the money, by all means, but you're not going to be shelving your Skippy or your Formula Renault for this thing.

I've since gotten the anniversary update so maybe it's gotten better but I'm not eager to try what the situation is like now cause driver poo poo is so annoying. I mean it's 2016, I thought drivers were a fixed problem. Turns out they're not
