Vanga said that Felix is in 1.53 in softs. (...)
I don't know which Felix you're referring to, but I haven't tried yet softs at the Nürburgring

Any way to reduce the level of understeer in this car on corner entry? Tried a few laps last week but just couldn't get on with it, but that might be that I really enjoy Nurburg GP and tend to be quite aggressive and still in GT3 mode.

I can give you a few suggestions: - Move brake balance towards the back - reduce rear camber (*edit* less negative value) - move the rear toe to zero or slightly negative (the real values, not the settings one) - also increase rear antiroll bar (I have at 6) Hope it helps

My POV here- do not add more negative camber to rear tyres . Use default value. It's helps to slip in turn entry in trail braking. ( will have less rear grip). My brake balance is 60. Some more helps else is a slightly negative toe in rear ( approx - 0.03 deg in right setup screen. Ideal ressure in tyres-30 hot. Hope it'll help you. UPD. Haha Felix said the same things

Thanks guys. This car seems to understeer a lot off throttle and the seems very tail happy on throttle!
I've had the Rear ARB on default till now, wow that 6 setting is going to be interesting!

I'm sorry but I give up, no idea how you guys go as quickly as you do and being 2 secs slower than the next slowest I'm just going to mess up everybody's qual or race.

People have success ballast now and are still 6 secs a lap quicker and I bet their doing close to those times consistently.

Tough race with plenty of action as I fought Fmg Frex and Simon for most of the race. Qually was close but I wasted first half of it on medium tyres then stuck softs on and fought fmg for position, which he nicked in dying seconds Got a good clean race start and was instantly in a 3 way fight that set the tone for the whole race. After a while Frex fell back whilst I fought Fmg then Simon for lap after lap. But in the end, despite some great close fighting, they both had the edge. My tyres finally gave up the ghost with 5mins remaining and the car seemed to instantly become a real handful but I brought it home a hard earned 8th. Shame to not harass Simon all the way to the line as I was hoping his tyres would give up first Well done nsfw on the win and the podium guys

That was a fun race. I was too cautious and friendly at the start and Maikel capitalized on that. From that moment on I was right behind him for the rest of the race. It's very hard to overtake here and I had to hope for a mistake by him, but that never happened. Grats nfsw for the win, looked like you and Felix were in the same situation as me and Maikel .

It was a slightly mad race in all aspects for me. I remember the AC times with old tyre model when this car was more grippy and joyfull. Now it's feels like a slippery cow IMO Plus to this i got a different car behavior like it happens to me sometimes with AC european servers. Was more slippery. Less FFB ( about 10-15 percents in FFB app bar). But i qualified not bad and was wait for good mid pilotone battle. But in 1st lap i hit Schumaher ext curb and go to gravel and p_last. Moreover, i make a contact with Matteo in Mercedes arena exits some earlier. My damage car was registered but still in zero level. Hope that Matteo rear was near zero damage too. Anyway, sorry mate. Next, in lap 2 i allowed a contact with Mark E after Schumaher S. I was behind him, had more speed, we both was over left curb and some on the grass. To apply brakes here was not good idea and i just lift off gas but was too late. Sorry Mark for that. So, overall race after all becomes true and clear intuitive moving over track. I forgot about all technicues, grips, inet, and do all things like a monkey's zombi. I was in hopes with "Mark J company" catch in 10 sec in front, but car damage and another one walk to gravel ( i forget to brake in one other moment else) ruined this dreams. But in way of this a make sooooooooo mad but fun overtakes in (Jeffrey's favorite ) place which i cant imagine for me earlier ( see small vid) . Thanks guys for the race, for patience and congrats podium. NFSW was in defend position state from Felix but got a hard win! Congrats! You guys are track monsters! Full respect!

Two races and two Ferraris brought home with crumpled bodywork - this would be expensive in the real world! Enjoy these cars, but I do seem to struggle to be consistent in them, especially towards the end of races.
But another fun race in the first part, chasing MJ. A spin dropped me way down, and another off at the same corner dropped me into the range of Alexey. Still enjoyed it though. Congrats podium.

Pretty intense race that was for me. Managed to pass Jeffrey when he was holding the door open. I started chasing the 2 in front for the first few laps until they started driving away and Jeffrey started to close the gap. I knew I had to make no mistakes as this is a tricky track for overtaking and Jeffrey was quicke4 then my pregnant car. ( I think its gonna be a boy ). Managed to keep him behind me and I'm glad I got that last podium spot. Though next race the car will be even heavier so it will be even more difficult. Especially on that long straight on Imola.
