You better believe I'm ready for this. Any testing tonight/tomorrow?

I'm down for testing on Saturday.

Tomorrow would be better for me as well. New Sim Rig says its out for delivery so I might be putting it together tonight

 

[bloodyboyblue]

I should be able to make it next week but tomorrow is better for me as well

So, last night I wanted to test a rally course out, so I took my Subaru and went out to Sardegna Windmills. I had only planned to run 2 maybe 3 laps. In the end I probably did about 15 . That is the best rally track in the game IMO, it has such a great flow to it.

 

[NoirAntares]

Good news. I seem to be struggling at Willow Springs when I was out testing

These cars really need time to get used to. Lots of fun out the box, but quite the different approach needed to be fast.

 

[DesertPenguin]

For the actual race tracks, are we planning to slide everywhere or try to tune them for grip?

A mix of both depending on the corners.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Gotcha. Wanna jump on tonight to practice?

A mix of both depending on the corners.

to be honest, we will probably see a mix of driving styles from everyone because if the handling difference of the cars as well as the low grip tires. We will see which one will be faster.

Out of town rn. I'll be back tomorrow tho.

Key thing with these cars is rotation. How quickly can you get the nose pointing to the exit, and how quickly the car starts to move towards the exit instead of along the corner.

 

[Dylan]

Definitely a lot of fun to drive in testing. I'm gonna try and get on tomorrow night for some practice.

 

[Jw_wk1010]

Lobby tonight and time ?

 

[damonc84]

Was just about to make a post. Lol

Lobby will be up in approximately 55 minutes.

 

[damonc84]

Lobby now up

Thanks to @Antares26 @aceboy127 @Dylan @bloodyboyblue @Herimopp89 @DesertPenguin for coming to the test night. Judging from the sound on the chat from watching the races and being in the races this series is going to be alot of fun. Here are some pics from the replays I remembered to save.

Note: would like to see how close Bloody and Heri got in that heat race at Colorado springs, probably could barely stick a piece of paper between them.

 

[Herimopp89]

I shared the replay of that heat race
