Dark, has anyone ever told you that you have a negative attitude?  LOL, Nope not negative. Intense, focused, intimidating, driven but never negative but if you are calling me negative then I can add that to my list!  Cheers! |

;D I don't see any issues here.  I don't get you guys that dislike ovals. Yes, road courses can be cool too, particularly if you are driving them with an rFactor V8 Supercar, or iRacing Cadillac or HPD. But there is no question that the real men drive ovals. F1 drivers only see one another at the start of the race and in the pits. NASCAR drivers see one another on the track all the time, so much so that they often get up close and personal with their cars, and after the races with their pit crews fighting with one another. ;D Hmm, going round and round in circles...What's your tactic today Hank? Well I'm fixing on going round in circles. Thanks Hank, now back to the studio.  |

LOL at you guys that think ovals are well.... less then stimulating. Oh wait...but then you are the same guys that all tweaked out of shape if someone bumpin ya down a straight away or rubbing door to door through a corner whether it right or left. That's right ..I FORGOT, road cars are super delicate and can't take a little contact... (BTCC not included...that shit just organized demo derbies ) Road racing is like a woman, bunch of curves thrown together with no sane purpose in life |

I believe these oval bashers just haven't given it enough time. Either that or they had the wrong attitude when they did try it. I was running some races at Richmond last week with the IndyCar. That is some extremely tense racing that requires your full attention at all times. Barely a chance to take a breath. My best lap is a 15.828 and that's still about a tenth off the pace of the really fast guys. One of the races had 24 cars and when they get spread out you are always in traffic either lapping the slower guys or being lapped by the fast guys.
What seems more exciting, that or the hot lapping Kelly described in the Mustang race he was in. Many of my road races have turned into hot lapping events as well. I still like road racing, but it's nice to have some variety and you rarely get the kind of door to door constant battles like you do on the ovals.

All of this because I didn't include ovals in my purchase list. Sheesh!
You folks can run ovals and you are more than welcome to them. They aren't my thing, never will be my thing and I would hot lap for days straight and not fall asleep as fast as doing a single lap on an oval. So there! ;D

Alright you SOB's, you bashed my Iracing cars so I went ahead and purchased some additional content. My post above is updated.
Just ran a lap with each GT car around Watkins Glen. They all feel pretty damn good, especially that Vette! I was about 3 seconds faster with it vs. the Ford and the McLaren.

As you should. C6R (GT1), FGT (GT2) & McLaren (GT3). They are all different classes.

Not only did you get me into rFactor, and all of the cost and emotional distress associated with that, but you were doing iRacing before I ever was. In short, had it not been for you, I probably would have just stuck with Forza and GT5 and been a lot wealthier. ;D |

I will be purchasing some more this weekend. I thought I was going to love the Mustang and hate the SRF and Caddy. Turns out it was the other way around. So now I have to get some more tracks so I can run more of both!
