This appears to be an add-on track - I have a V1.1 (just server files) and a 1.0. I've just 'practised' on the server using the 1.0 I have but no idea if this is the version you're expecting MJ. I assume a 2:01.2 is not remotely competitive

yes I remembered last night that I need to add a link to the track It appears to be version 1.2 now, I found it on Racedepartment/mods/tracks last night but their site appears to be down this morning so I cant put a link up yet. Don't forget you can adjust the boost on the Ruf. The car is infinitely more driveable on boost 5 or 6 so I tend to use that in the corners/twisties then boost it up to full on the long straights. Cant remember what my laptime is here as haven't been near it for a while. Also, if our resident experten like Ed or Chris have some setup knowledge to impart, please do

These cars actually aren't that bad to drive. Don't forget you can adjust the boost on the Ruf. The car is infinitely more driveable on boost 5 or 6 so I tend to use that in the corners/twisties then boost it up to full on the long straights. Cant remember what my laptime is here as haven't been near it for a while.
Thanks about the boost heads up. I just left it on max, and it was still driveable. I'd rather have the power available all the time and regulate it with my foot. Can't lean over the wheel every time to press the keyboard, or is there a way to incrementally increase it with a plus and minus? Also, if our resident experten like Ed or Chris have some setup knowledge to impart, please do I'm neither of those, but I reckon max camber everywhere, toe out at the front and in at the rear. Atleast, that is what I did. And lower the pressure of the tyres, left tyres by 2 or 3, right by 1 or 2. I haven't touched the diff, as I always seem to make it worst with that

got a quick half hour sesh in this eve, 1:59's for me with 30L onboard so far. As per Jeff, didn't need to lower the boost here, it felt perfectly driveable with full boost. Only thing I keep doing is outbraking myself or exceeding track limits just learn to brake 'before' the brake markers and use smooth downshifts to shrug off speed.

1:58'1 for me now with 30L onboard Achieved several times and probably got some 57's in me with more laps. I can see I made the same error with boost settings as I did with the Gallardo, thinking it was already on 100% out of the box...its not. But I would say unless you have alien-esque handling skills, leave it on 8 or 9. I managed the same time with it on stock boost as I did with lairy 100% and was more consistent under braking and exiting corners with the slightly lower boost. Racedepartment is still down so I cant link to the newer 1.2 version. If its not back up by end of tonight, we'll stick with the version I have and will give you a link to it. ps been a couple of updates to AC1.6 since last race so get your AC up to date.

had a quick go tonight.
you have to be sooooo smooth with your throttle in this car.. really really smooth..
i managed a 1'53.9 but i think i could probably improve to a mid 1'53 as i messed up a corner.

1:53?! damn that's fast failing to see where I could find an extra 4 seconds at the moment I'd say Jeff, FMG and Ed have their work cut out to catch that!
