Online coming alive?

I find the 512 M has astonishingly "bouncy" suspension - I've no idea if this is the way the car actually feels IRL, but it certainly makes it tricky to drive fast in FC - couldn't be further from a modern F1 car.

Do you have the 333 SP yet Lofasz?

Funny enough, I just had a few races last night with Danjama and we started with the 512S. I do enjoy driving both the 512S/512M but it's challenging for me as I have to change all my lines at most tracks. The suspension in either car is not conducive to riding the curbs.

We went through 10 minutes of Paul Ricard and I was ready to stick a needle in my eye. I don't like this track under the best of circumstances but for some reason I was just making a mess of things with that car: up and down, up and down like a pogo stick. I couldn't stay off the curbs. But one thing I will say, I remember once running the 512S at Mugello offline and watching the replay, the way the car looks when coming down the road as the suspension compressed and uncompressed was just superb. It's hard to explain but if you've ever seen a 512 in RLF as it comes along at high speed, and hits some uneven pavement, it sort of does this double bottoming out and I think they managed to duplicate this effect brilliantly. It looked like the real car. So in a sense, I think Eutechnyx REALLY got this right.

But both versions of the 512 have good power and fantastic brakes. They're otherwise a joy to drive.

And the (inboard) sound ... is amazing! Taking these cars for a relaxed offline ride with all assists off and using the "H" shifter is indeed a joy.

Yea i agree, i really enjoy them both, the brakes are out of this world!

Paul Ricard was a nightmare i wont be selecting it again any time soon! haha

Also you guys can call me Dan now rather than danjama

Nope, not yet. Though I plan on trying to finish up all the Challenge races this weekend, so I'm likely to unlock many more soon. 333 SP One of your favorites Biggles?

I'm also looking forward to the 250 GTO and 250 Testarossa.

My favorite tracks in the game right now: Monza, Spa, Mugello (power slide heaven, IMO).

I prefer the "slower" cars, like the 355 & 348 Challenges, & the 250 Testa Rossa, but I thought you might find the 333 SP interesting. You'll find it will take a while before you start posting fast times with each car because the cars are so different from each other. I haven't even begun to get a feel for the 333 SP yet...

I really love all three 250 models. TR/LM/GTO The LM is probably the most difficult car to drive in FC. It's very tail happy and unless you're driving in a perfectly straight line it's constantly transitioning between understeer and oversteer. But it's VERY rewarding when it 'comes' to you. I'm pleased to say I actually hold 2 lap records with it. (But I suppose that's only because most players avoid it like last week's leftover Chinese)

This is just a message to AMZoil who i recentlly raced against. I don't cut corners and I certainly don't suk as you politely put it in your message. The thing is with racing is that you win some and you lose some and if you can't accept that then you shouldn't do it. Sorry about the rant but most of the people i've raced against, particularly on this website, are polite and fair and treat it as a laugh.

Sarrinen, I don't think AMZoil frequents these forums. I may be mistaken, but where I think I usually see his name online is in the eutechnyx forums.

"Haha noob, you drive too slow. I'm off to eat some paella brb."

At least I think that's what it is.

Thats not nice if it does says that, we had 2 close races

Mind you my spanish is a little rough (read: nonexistant).

No proplem, i just hope sameone can read spanish

I'm actually surprised at the number of people on the PSN who speak English - had a Bosnian guy send me a message last night in relatively fluent English.

I have only got 2 non english friends on my friends list. btw do you play ferrari challenge, if so send me friend request & one day we could race.
