Its an interesting way they are going with there ranked servers. Seeing i couldnt actually join any of them i bought the F4 and last night got on one of the rookie servers. Which would have gone better if the car was driving normally. Anyone driving the F4 and had FFB issues? It felt like randomly around the lap it would reverse the forces. I had to go around many corners trying to work against the FFB! Even half way down a straight the FFN would switch and i was struggling to drive it straight. My arms afterwards actually hurt!

I like F4. I wanted to run them once, but single seaters got no lurve, except the FJs which I think are horrible.
I just did a rookie race at Hock with F4, and it was fine, my FFB may be a little light, but no issues
this is with an ancient G25. I will have a go later with my TM

I can only think that something about the official ranked servers is affecting the FFB as last night i joined a ranked server running the GT2's at Laguna Seca. Happened there as well so had ot just quit out.

The F4 are pretty fun, even if the FFB makes them feel like floating over the track.
The ranked races run with full damage, so check that you aren't damaging your suspension. There's a bug with some Thrustmaster wheels that makes the FFB go crazy with the slightest suspension damage or flat spots.

Ah that must be it. I run a Thrustmaster T300. Even with the GT2's it was the same, down a straight it would switch and i'm having to resist the wheel from turning sharp Left.

Had a go in the F4s today at Oschersleben, actually quite fun & easy to drive, much better than the FJuniors. Even managed to beat 2 guys in the top 10 of the rankings, but only because they both had spins!  |

They are fun. Wouldn't mind seeing the Tatuus in a series once upon a time.

F4 will be one of the options in the next vote. If enough people vote, they will be one of the next series
Also, while we are on the topic....
I will create a list of things to vote for to be in the next 3 series as usual. If there is something you would particularly like
shout up, and they will will be in the vote list.

Cars I wouldn't mind racing:
Tatuus F4
Aquila CR1 (recently updated)
Audi TT 2016
BMW M235i
Porsche Cayman Trophy (has up to date v4.1 tyre model)
All single-make series with relatively painless handling and good physics, not too much twiddling with setups required.

From previous votes, I would guess the F4 and the M235i would get votes.
Thanks for the suggestions, they will all be in the list. You get to vote
for 3 things.
