Feels like the draft may be a bit too much on faster cars. It worked well on the slower cars, but now you can't really catch a car that is too far in front to draft. Instead you have to hope for cooperation from the car behind you to not try a move, or you both fall further behind. The draft distance seems the same as GT5, which gives you draft if you are within 1.4 seconds of the car in front, regardless of the speed you are going.

Good point. It might be worth testing Real draft for the last 3 rounds. I think the Elises should be alright - they have a lot less power, but the much reduced weight means the higher PP.

really enjoyed the races tonight gents,

Hopefully there is a space available for me to attend next week,

 

[AudiMan2011]

A good consistent night with two 4ths and a 3rd despite my big off in Race 2.

There should be I'd imagine 👍

Glad to hear you enjoyed it

I was always for real draft , weak is too strong but we have raced over half the season with weak I wouldn't want a change during the season.

 

[TDZdave]

Hopefully I wont be so far off pace in the Lotus, I found that Evo was just numb in the feedback it gave me through my wheel,

 

[SkengD]

Evo was a real piece of crap , it was a better drive at trial mountain but apricot was a safer track

 

[cunny17]

Early heads up Rolo, I'm out of next 2 rounds because of holidays.

 

[rolo912011]

I didn't score in three races and only went down one position in the table? Interesting...

I'm gonna have to pull out though through not being able to attend the next few races.

Sucks mate, cheers for letting me know 👍

 

[Toffe]

I highly enjoyed Tuesday's race... Great racing, lots of fun, loved the track. 👍 And next race is most likely gonna be lots of fun as well.

Anyway, I made a replay of the first race. Racing cars like this so close makes this replay really look like a BTCC race

 

[quade420]

Great replay!

 

[Roflwaffle]

lol you can see my DC at 16:20

 

[joetruckv8]

[TDZdave]

Looking forward to tonight's festivities,

 

[rolo912011]

Lotuses should be a bit of a laugh. Throw it in and hope.

I took it for a spin last week, Its not as awful as all the other MR cars, quite enjoyable to drive,

 

[True-blue-8]

[rolo912011]

not going to be able to make tonight sorry m8

OK, cheers for letting me know 👍

 

[swiftsmith]

I'm not gonna be there either.

 

[hurleyman24]

I forgot but I have to study for an important exam tonight so I won't be able to race. Sorry but grades come first for me.

 

[rolo912011]

SO close to only the second ever maximum 67 score in BTCC history tonight. One point short.

I think we did well to scrape together 10 racers tonight.
