Not yet, i was just reusing the tracks from the Praga series. Hockenheim is a well used track for GT's and prototypes

FMG's race a while back with the car at suzuka really put me off the car.... Front end is very vague, the weight on the rear means its very tail happy..... almost like i guess a formula e car!

Same feeling here. Didn't do the complete previous series with this car, but I can remember the car being awkward to drive.

Did test it a bit yesterday and on meds it is feeling somewhat as a race car. On hards it is just a struggle. It doesn't seem to get heat in the tires, no matter what toe- or camber settings I apply. I will try to attend the races anyway.

That was waaayyyy before my time :P

I quite like it tbh, although it is far from easy to drive hard - I seem to remember that driving it is more about precision and setup than nearly than nearly anything else.
I think I found a nice sound file for it back then too, no idea if I still have it
