Sorry for the outburst.
I was all hopped up after the races & wasn't feeling like sleeping. Which is why I can't participate if i have to get up in the morning. I postponed my outing today because of the snow storm - which is why I raced last night.
I didn't get the chance to test the Audi S3 before racing it last night, so I was winging it.
I think part of the problem is that I spent some time on the Nurb in the TTS testing
for this... And I think I was expecting it to handle quite differently than it did.
I also find 4wd cars in the game to be very annoying to drive.
But you're right Star, the car was
certainly not disgustingly understeery like a 4wd Skyline
- and that IS a point in its favour big time.
I guess at 412pp I expected a little more oomph... I felt like I could've gotten a bit more power at that pp from an antique. LOL
And I was a little surprised that when it lost grip - it was TOTALITY. In other words, it was deceptive to me how far you could push the car, but then once over that threshold, the car just lost it completely & I became an embarrassing hazard for racefan & icewarden
I thought it was surprisingly unforgiving.
The truth is had I tested the car, I might've used it at Laguna Seca or even at least Tsukuba. I hesitate to put 4wd on Laguna, because I worry about understeer. I had one particularly unpleasantly grueling lengthy race in an understeering Micra at Laguna Seca last year that put me off big time.
Also, to be fair, I shouldn't completely blame that Audi, since I was still feeling a little car sick from my sojourn on Spa in the Opel.
That wasn't very pleasant once my tires started wearing. I wore out my tires there before they warmed up!
I was envying Diabolic in the MR STRATOS (abs: on
)... I think I would've found that much more pleasurable a drive.
That means you can choose the PP for the next Monday event. It is currently 1650 and you can go +/- 25 or leave it as it is.
Feel free to choose the qualifying track.
