It's Wee Dubble-Yuh time 🙂
First I drove the Polo GTI, fully upgraded except weight reduction (just stage 1). All settings default.
Surprise, surprise! While the car isn't incredibly powerful or fast, it's just an absolute pleasure to drive! Easy to handle, good fuel economy, good brakes, not too harsh on the tires.... can't say anything bad about this car!
Next was the good, old Bus. Engine swap, fully upgraded, no weight reduction.
Now this one is a bit different when it comes to handling😄 Had to adjust the suspension to make it less wobbly. Also adjusted the gearbox a bit for better speed.
With those settings it's not that bad! Needs a bit of care in the corners, especially the more narrow ones. Acceleration is good, top speed ok (around 270 km/h on the straights). Brakes are great and fuel economy isn't bad as long as you don't try to rev 4th up too much. (Should be 3 laps at FM5 I guess, can't say for sure 'cause I switched around on the first three laps and had rain from lap 4 to the end). Tire wear is pretty bad, so I will use RHs instead of Mediums next time. And as expected it's not very good in the rain. But overall it was better than I thought and it's somehow fun to drive.
BTW: Did anyone ever see this graphics glitch? I've already seen this some time ago but forgot about it. Never saw it again since then until today:
