| PRACTICE SESSION WITH GT3 CARS TODAY | |
| By: Tig_green Date: December 13, 2017, 6:03 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| We have been planning a practice session with some of the | |
| European guys in our league for tonight. | |
| We will be entering server "VRC GT3 Fun Run" tonight at 7 PM | |
| (GMT, see league clock). I will be there at 7:15 PM at latest. | |
| The plan is to have practice events at Abu Dhabi and at Valencia | |
| (these two tracks should be on the server atm). So we will do 15 | |
| practice, 10 min quali and 20 min race on both tracks. I hope I | |
| will see few of you there. | |
| I thought this could be a great way to practice the new cars and | |
| track and meeting some of our members on track. | |
| See you there! | |
| -Matt | |

| It was great to see the difference between the cars in race. | |
| I would recommend making Abu Dhabi a night race if it's | |
| selected. The glitch in the first corners of the first lap is | |
| horrendous. | |
| Overtaking proved to be not that easy. It almost like F1 with | |
| the dirty air. | |
| I still love the Bentley, especially at the start 😁but | |
| it's quite tricky and boaty. | |

| What clitch are you referring to Joris? Only problem I had was | |
| that the whole track was a glowing nightmare. But the layout is | |
| great in terms that it's fun to drive (at least with these cars) | |
| and offers good overtaking opportunities. I'm sure F1 could also | |
| have good races here if they could just follow each other. | |
| Valencia street track was fun too but it required quite a bit of | |
| practice to learn the layout. Street tracks are always a bit | |
| risky and I wonder how many would survive the whole long race. | |
| Short race was already really intense but it was one of the | |
| better races I've had for a while, good fun. | |
| I drove with Bentley and the ffb was superb. It also seemed | |
| that Bentley was pretty good going out of corners. Interesting | |
| thing was that I was way off the pace in quali but my race pace | |
| was much better. I had some really nice battles. There didn't | |
| seem to be too much top speed difference which made racing | |
| better. | |
| I'm probably going to stick with Bentley for this first series | |
| with the gt3 mod as I already have a skin for it and not enough | |
| time to test the other cars. | |

| Bentley is a good car Matt. I am just as fast in it as I am in | |
| the Vette, McLaren, and Mercedes. They are all just as fast as | |
| each other, but with different handling characteristics. | |

| The lighting in general too shiny, but in the first few corners | |
| I couldn't see a thing. It was like a night lighting but | |
| inverted. I saw a bit of kerbs but couldn't tell how the corner | |
| went exactly. Once you get to the chicane, it was all ok. | |
| I got it in qualifying and race, so it's probably a time of day | |
| issue with the track. | |
| I've seen a video of all cars compared, and the difference | |
| between them was just 0.2sec. | |

| Ok, for me it was bright everywhere but not so bad that I | |
| couldn't see track (dx11 version). But unless night is better or | |
| the author updates it, I wouldn't recommend using this track as | |
| we only want good quality tracks (also visually). | |
| Found this video: | |

| There is also setups in the description for McLaren, Radical and | |
| AMG. | |
| What comparison video did you watch? | |

| I can't seem to find it, but it was a racer that participatd in | |
| the WFG and the vid had split screens with all the cars and | |
| sometimes even shots of all the (ghost) cars at the same time, | |
| so you could see how he went round the corners. It really showed | |
| the different characteristics. | |

| that edge on valencia bothered me a few times already, dont know | |
| why im not driving a wider line there. | |

| my impression of the cars is however mostly matching with what | |
| that dude, from the video matt posted, says. the cornering speed | |
| of the mclaren is very good, but its straight line speed is a | |
| bit concerning especially in comparision with the bentley. i | |
| guess its one of the fastest cars over one lap, but might run | |
| into trouble later on. | |
