Looks like I'm apologising again (This time to Stefan for telling him it would be the F2004 this week (we'll run it next week) - At least you should approve of the change though )

I had been intending to run the afore-mentioned Ferrari, but yesterday lunchtime, just before writing the race post I recieved an email from RSS saying it was their 5th birthday and they had a big sale on...
So it struck me as the perfect opportunity to try and encourage a 1990's spec GT race while the cars are extra cheap.

The arrival of the sale has also coincided nicely with the arrival of a fairly major update to Thruxton, if you're British you'll be well aware of the tracks' reputation, if not lets just say its VERY fast

I currently have the distance set at 40 minutes - but as the pit boxes are angled I don't want to make things awkward by forcing people to stop. So that may yet decrease after I've done some further tire testing (I had originally hoped to have a pit requirement).

Both cars can achieve the same lap time to within 10'ths of a second so can race excellently together - but as you would expect with an RR Vs MR car they have very different strengths and weaknesses, although I'll be in the Porsche (Darche) I'm forced to admit that Thruxton is slightly easier in the Ferrari (Ferruccio) as the ultra high speed corners require some serious concentration and gentle footwork in a rear engined car

A last note on a payed for mod - while the sale is on this pack is £2.72 (€3.25) but still offers far better value than most free mods as these are actually Kunos quality and not full of bugs, dodgy graphics/physics/sounds or simple poor planning.
If a decent turnout occurs for this race then I WILL run a season in them, just not next season as I've nearly finished planning that
Try them before the sale ends and if you like them I would seriously recommend you try the GT1's too - same era, same (lack of) driving aids, but ~200Bhp more and better aero.

Err .... £3.40 for me

But still far cheaper than RR, iracing...

3.90Euro on check out.... includes 20% tax

Argh.. Damn, missed the Alfa show last week and I'm not interested in these ones. Too modern for me, sorry guys..

See you later !

But buying the GT1's... may also be a good investment?

I noticed in the setup menu for the Ferrari there is a setting for steer assist. What does this do & what should I set it too, it is 100 by default.

Hehe, ok I will leave it at 100.

I do have a thruxton track folder, just called thruxton... however this new version is a different folder name (js_thruxton) so you will need to download it.
