Should be good combo.  EDIT: Completly different track than what I exptected  . The low rev sounds of the RSR are terrible, it's like it's grinding gears or something, makes my teeth hurt  |

Oh my lord, have you tried this latest version of the track? It is amazingly detailed, it looked real on my triple screen setup   The guy has gone to amazing lengths to make it look like a proper US track in the desert. Stunning work and a joy to blast along In these cars, especially sector 1 with its fast switch back esses. 1:58 for me so far. Took a few laps to get the hang of a couple of corners. More time to find with more laps. |

There is only one Riverside that I know of, bit of an odd question! Not sure what Jeff was expecting either, this is a fantastic recreation of the original circuit.

I mixed it up with Infineon Raceway  |

Well you could have picked an easier track to start with! Even Zandvort felt nicer to drive around than this, at least that has defined braking points i know. An unknown car and an unknown track, and not much time to practise...

Kinda agree, very tricky track with blind corners with crests and braking zones in corners. |

Your lucky I didn't choose the 917 can-am with this track!  It belongs here Only took me about 3 laps to learn the dodgy corners and keep it on the grey stuff, but of course would take a lot more to master it on the edge, but we are all in the same boat so it's a good leveller. It's only a fun race so not like you might drop valuable points through lack of track time  I have actually wanted to use this track for a while and had intended to race the shelby Cobras on it, so count yourself lucky |

Haven't had much time to spend with the new Porsche's yet, and any I have has been with the quite frankly lovely Cayman and Panamera  Will probably join in this race, though never heard or driven this track before, nor do I know how to drive something rear engined! Should be fun though, hopefully I'll get a little practice in before hand |

Not a bad combo these. Normally not a huge fan of clutch-racing ( because I'm terribble at it ) Took me 6 laps to not crash the car and barely get a 58 Probably crash the car or blow up my engine/gearbox during the race. Those brake noises crack me up though, time it right and you can create a catchy tune  |

I found this nice wee video which I though was helpful since I know nothing about the circuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zakPard0iKII think that's a shorter version from what I can gather, but it looks great, really excited to get some laps in. The esses at the start look a lot of fun, will no doubt be scooting across the desert sand plenty of times before I find the right line. |

You Tube clip is the shorter Sports circuit layout.
Hopefully you guys are racing on the Can-Am circuit which is a great track (now a housing estate)
