RUF CTR Yellow bird. anyone can drive it?

[streetcleaner]

hi! after 3 month i can drive it at B at some tracks, but mostly C and D. is this real to drive it at S at all?

 

[Hayden]

Ive mastered it and will soon be adding it to my "fast list"

 

[MarcoM]

No, I can't. Too twitchy to enjoy. Great looks though.

'Tis a good car! Great off-roader, earned me loads of points dirt drifting..
RR drivetrain is also found on the RUF BTR, not much between the two in terms of performance, Yellowbird perhaps has the edge.

It's one of the best cars in the game!

Because of its rear engine set up you still get good forward drive even when the wheels are spinning. This, combined with quite tall gearing and the soft-power delivery of the engine means you can drive it really hard on N3 tyres and be fast. It also enters corners with a nice controllable neutral attitude. It really is just like the famous videos of it being caned around the Nordschleife.

I can drive it easily, why is it so hard?

Use N3's

Has alot of power, but that does not mean you should use it all at once now.

Handles great but can be "too good" as its light front end makes it prone to oversteer (coupled with the immense power delivered at the rear and the odd weight balance for those not used to RR's).

Drive it gently at first figure out its snapping points and the effects of the weight transfer then when you get comfortable push it 10 more KMH every lap.

Very naiice.

I feel confident driving it with R3's only.

A but unrelated, but this might be some inspiration to learn how to drive it well! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEnjqOjY0LA

@streetcleaner - Do you mean the best time in the Yellow-Bird or our best ever ? I haven't driven the YB on the Nürburgring so far, my best time is 5:18.xxx in the Pescarolo (pad, AT and Super-Soft tyres)

[Pat_f40]

I don't know... I think around 8 or 9 minuts... but it's not make the time my point! it's HAVE FUN.

But I have to check the tuneup...

 

[streetcleaner]

[Pat_f40]

Uuuuh, new time to beat!

I think both the BTR and the Yellow Bird are excellent power-oversteer cars. Reportedly, Before the Vauxhall VXR8, a Yellow Bird was The Stig's portable drifting machine.
