UKAC Porsche Cup Series 2017 - Jan 11th start

[nfsw55]

You're right, there's no corner which is extremely inaccurate, it's just the overall feeling.
At the best it's just the lenght of the straights or something with the section on top of the hill.


all in all the acu track is still the best Bathurst version available for AC and I would happily join a race there, I'm just a bit nitpicking


Btw: The Iracing version of bathurst is laserscanned, right? curious how good or bad they recreated the track.

yeah it should be laserscanned as every iracing track

Okay I'm now thinking of closing out the Porsche cup series with the final round at Bathurst as there are obviously several Aussie tin top fans here 
But I want to test the cup car on it first as can you guys with more spare time on their hands

I can do some testing. Are we using the ACU version?

[Brocookie]

any other version than the one i linked is bad

@Mark i already did a few laps to check it out before i posted about Bathurst and what can i say? it is absolutely insane its so much fun and the Cup Car feels perfect on every section. Much more fun than the GT3 cars imo.

i think i hit 2:11/12 or so

I thought the cup cars might get a bit lost on a big circuit like this but appears the Aussie Porsche cup use it and I just read an article this morning about a supercup driver who is about to race on it in a Porsche cup car, so that settled it in my mind. I wanted to test to make sure this mod version didn't bounce us all over the place with dodgy surfacing.

well, for most cup cars (thinking of the cayman for instance) it would be the case that the straights would be too long and the cars kinda get lost there.

but the gt3 cup car isnt significantly slower than the gt3 spec cars, so it works just as well

surface is fine i think.. the cup car handles bumps very well imo. its funny how you get all shaky in the cockpit when the car bounces over them but it doesnt really lose traction, which is nice

I think I might know of that Porsche Supercup Driver. Is it David Drinkwater although he drives a Cayman GT4 but is still doing the Bathurst in a few weeks. Who races for TGM Sport who I know really well.

So, Bathurst and VIR  ?  

[Mark J]

No it was Ben Barker Michael, sounds like a few are using it as a pre-season warm up 

[Mark J]

So, Bathurst and VIR  ?  

yes but not in that order   Should make for a cool last two 'bonus' rounds
