I think once you guys turn a few more laps and get more familiar with it, it will grow on you. I figured nobody had run this track before which is another reason I chose it. Has a real good flow and very high speed. Should make for some great racing. I thought about using Spa when I set this up, but we've been running the hell out of that track lately. As for being too slick using the Aston, maybe you guys should toughen up or pick a real car. Oh ya...let the trash talk commence.

The track is a bit tricky at first but once you get use to it it becomes quit fun after 5 laps I got the audi down into the 2.03's with at least another few sec left in it once I get the car fully dialed in These cars (at least the audi ) need alot of work to get going nice. From what I've experienced the front under steer mid corner, easy to lock up the brakes and u need to move the bias forward which increases corner turn in understeery .. If not they will spin....they also tend to have a lazy low speed spin when in a lower rpm gear? Fixed by raising the coast Back end gets light and unstable on elevation changes and requires alot more rear downforce than the stock. The stock tune seems to be set on min. Settings that's why it's bit slow reacting increasing the springs will help with this Tuning wise they remind me of the orsm v8 light rears tight fronts, understeery that can cause spin outs on throttle but once dialed in they are quit enjoyable and like advised in the tweaking setup make sure to add the real feel and adjust the cockpit shake those 2 alone eliminated 5 secs for me And avoid the red and white striped curbs on this track there a bit slippery

Oh ya...let the trash talk commence. ya definitely a flowing track & hardd to pick corners I find I think its going left but is right lol ya got it to 2:01s but im pretty sure there's 59s there once I get full hang of it but I think its not a problem with Aston but its about slowing to right speed before the corner then all works fine

Remember guys, these aren't V8 Supercars, but like the V8s throttle input can help the car point in the right direction mid corner. Throttle modulation and steady brake control are key, especially with no ABS or TCS. It's easy to spin them, but you can feel it coming and it is possible to save it in many cases. I get a big ass grin on my face when I can feel it break loose and can counter it. So much fun! If you are having trouble feeling the car, be sure to install the RealFeel plugin and purchase it in your upgrades. Makes a huge difference. You can throw these cars around a bit, but can't ground and pound too much. Most of all - CURBS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND!

Not that I know of. You can adjust the bias, but not the pressure. | Ahhh, too bad I don't have the fancy Fanatec knob thingy to turn it down.....lol.

I may jump on this evening for some practice and general BS if anyone is around. I forgot I shut off the server before the V8 race on Wednesday, so I'll boot it back up.
