hmm, this car felt like playing 'Outrun' back in the 80's/90's...anyone remember it? Must be the modern supercar factor
It just feels so easy to drive, other than the carp brakes, I would have expected a supercar with that much power to be a bit lairy but its on rails most of the lap, except being sloppy through Ascari. You get no sensation of taming a very powerful car, are they really that sanitised these days? I found it very dis-engaging like i'm just turning the wheel and the pc is doing the physics manipulation. Found myself wanting to turn off (or lower) the TC to make it more alive.
1:42's were my staple fast laps. Not sure how these are going to make for a great online race as they appear to need a country mile to get them to stop in time for any of the major braking zones and I can see rear-ending a plenty
and narked off drivers!
As I quickly bored of driving it, I decided to see how much Ferrari supercars have improved since the 80/90's and took the F40 S3 out. What a difference in feel and immersion! The F40 is totally visceral and demanding and full-filling to drive
It literally makes you feel like your in a vastly improved simulator compared to driving the La Ferrari. Don't get me wrong, I was about 15 secs a lap slower (on 90's slicks) in it (proves how much technology has improved!) but my did it feel awesome and engaging to drive, unlike the point and shoot modern car. Squirting the throttle to engage the turbo, back end stepping out in 3rd halfway round Parabolica, superb!
I was grinning like a loon
Kunos have done an amazing job simulating this thoroughbred.
