First of the next round of fun races before our next series!
We're taking the Lamborghini Huracan ST's for a bust up at the Auto24ring in Estonia - it's a flowing and pretty fast circuit so matches up to them very nicely.
For those of you with CM it should look quite pretty, for those without it's still pretty good - although you won't have any 3d grass or other fancy nice stuff...
Framerate wise even my Media PC is getting a solid 60FPS 8)

Love the car, hate the Micky Mouse track  ::)

T1 is going to be a nightmare in these for me anyway. As well as the difficult braking zone I can't see my exit or anything around me and have to rely on helicorsa to not hit other cars. Moan over, I just hope if this is the car for the next series, we have some tracks where we can stretch its legs a bit.

Request time, any chance of giving the Daytona cars from IER a run out in one of these pre season races? They're pretty basic and brutal but very good fun on a big track.

The track will grow on you - I picked it because it has a lovely flow in the Lambo once you've learnt it.
If I run them for a season the plan would be to mostly use stock Kunos GT tracks with the odd good odd-on circuit thrown in :)

Amazingly I've never heard of the IER cars before - I'm downloading them and if I like what I see I'll chuck something together for them :thumbup1:

You cant be running these cars, these feel rather too easy to drive lol A GT3 car for the road!

A rather interesting pit exit route... wasnt sure if i went the wrong way and was going to disappear off the map!

Interesting track, people are going to be taking some different lines being its so wide around here and its not clear the best line.

Even just on default setup its a fun, lively car to drive, should be fun. I'll be there.

Fun race even if I slipped back at the end as Tim spoiled the status quo when he came back through. I had clearly overused the tyres a bit, I was getting sideways alot into and out of some of the braking zones. I smoother track might have helped there though.

Never driven the cars before, wasn't expecting them to be like that

I think they have the exact same properties that make the 911 cup cars so much fun.
I.e. lots of power but not quite enough grip and downforce when compared to the GT3 version :)

I got a bit lonely out front so just past the halfway mark I decided to give myself a drive through - In my opinion these are some of the best (modern) cars I've driven as far as close fights on track are concerned, I may have just missed getting back upto 1st but I had a great time fighting forward.

Regarding the bumpy track, I found that you needed progressively more and more wing as you picked harder tires.
Also that double apex corner at turn 4(?) features a much tighter line than you may have thought, running anything more than half the track out will cost you time and normally destabilise the rear of the car. Conversely there were several corners you could monster the kurbs and even grass on even when sliding ;D
