. Just got PC2 for super deal, $20 on PSN. Unfortunately, I feel like a new born trying to navigate it. Are the poorsches in this new $10 DLC?

The PCars navigation is a bit different but not bad once you get used to it.
I actually hit a 54.9 without the turbo. Now I can't do a clean lap to get a timeHi Rob, good to see ya! Yes they are in the DLC. If you pay for the season pass then you get all the DLC for free IIRC. We're a nice, friendly, patient bunch, happy to help you along. Unless you're faster than us, then you need to go somewhere else.
Less talent in my tank. I took the 911 for five laps and it was slower than what I've been doing in the 959. But the 51s are what I've been able to do with the turbo 'fixed', before it was 57s.
. Fortunately I've got the turbo working. Unfortunately - I have to relearn how to drive the car. I'm still very excited to return to racing this Monday night. Like, SUPER EXCITED!!! I've missed this motley crew.

OK. Bought the season pass, so I see this Monday’s cars needed but don’t see Leipzig track in custom event or online event. Help please! Also what view do most use to drive? I’m used to GT6 & GTS bumper (but only because of the lack of options & adjustability) but I really like the helmet view in PC2.@aerolite @Mike Lobban

You came back on a good week! Everyone has been learning the car/track! Haven’t even raced a night and you’re whining already? GeeeeeeeezI actually hit a 54.9 without the turbo. Now I can't do a clean lap to get a time
And, I treated myself to a little welcome back present

glad you’ll be joining us again Jeff
Hey Rob, we would be glad to have you, long time since we raced in GT6 together! Just read thru the first few posts if you haven't already. I will add you to the drivers list for Monday. Make sure you send Mike and I a FR.@aerolite @Mike Lobban

Well it was slower when me and Mike were running against each other. In the 959 I went from '52's without turbo to low '49's with it. But come to think about it, was pretty even with Sgeti when he was in 911 but I know he didn't have it dialed in yet. It will be an interesting night!
Like David said, it's called Porsche Liepzig..........should be in your track list.
I always wanted to do cockpit view in GT, but it just wasn't good so I always ran bumper. I really like the helmet view in this game - they've done a great job on it. You can adjust the 'turn to apex' setting and some others @aerolite posted a good article about two months ago regarding making some other adjustments that enhance the feeling of speed changes. Also there is a setting where you can turn your coach on so that he tells you things about other cars like 'one length behind'. 'on your left' etc. Combined with the indicator errors it really helps situational awareness for the helmet view.

I haven't driven the 908 yet but sure looking forward to it.
OMG.....I think he snuck a “super piece” in with this batch! I’m sure you guys were having a good chuckle over that one, lol. It was even a chore getting back to the house, and you know how easy that is!Maybe next time you wont be greedy and eat the whole piece. Your are getting older.

Yup, AWD. Like driving a truck. Soften the front roll bar and lower the preload - it makes the car actually turn...
One thing to note David, is that these Porsche’s are rear engined cars. That means the weight balance is focused more towards the rear of the car, and will have a tendency to slide around quite a bit. Quite a famous characteristic of the Porsche cars... when the back end starts to slip out the normal reaction for almost everyone is to lift off the throttle, but with these cars you want to apply more throttle to get the back end to squat down and power out of a corner.
With the 959 being 4wd, this is even easier to do, as you have the front wheels pulling you along as well.
@davidt33 if you’re still having oversteer issues, here’s a general rule of thumb to correct it. If your car is spinning out on turn in, stiffen the front springs/anti-roll bar a bit. If it’s still spinning out, adjust your brake bias more towards the front and increase engine braking to minimize wheel lock up when changing gears, which would in turn produce a trail brake sensation and rotate the car.
If you’re spinning out coming out of the corners, soften the rear springs and “disconnect” the sway bar in the back (anti-roll bar to 0nm) and then slowly work your way back up to a sway bar setting you like.
Just a couple general rules I go by when tuning a bad handling car to try and tame it a bit
RACE DAY 
Good move Aero. The simpler the better. Will speed things along also. Win-Win.
3. 10 min qualifier between races now. So standing starts for all three races. No reverse grid rolling starts. This just really simplifies the process, free's up my time between races and puts an end to a lot of issues that come with the rolling starts.
Hiccups aside, I had an absolute blast tonight. My only regret is that I got booted out of the lobby before I could rejoin the 2nd race. The rain looked super fun. Robby and Vaper had a killer race for the final laps though, and I thoroughly enjoyed sipping my beer and watching them battle it out. Actually, if anyone has the replay saved, give it a look. They made those Porsches look awesome sliding through the chicanes.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate having this group to come back to after the past couple months. You guys are just too fun to socialize with, and make sim-racing so fun with your (intended) clean driving. I know we all make mistakes, but the intention is to keep it clean, and that makes it so fun.
Special thanks to @aerolite and @Mike Lobban for keeping this going for what's going on one year. Obviously you're doing something right, because it's still going strong. And Steve, if I have to, I'll start running block for you for the next couple weeks. We need to see you get through a week without getting taken out.
Thanks again everyone. I'm so happy too race with you again. And @GTLehman , @GUTTERBOY3007 , @davidt33 , I missed you guys tonight! Hopefully I'll see you again soon.
RESULTS
