1 Race A this morning. Pole and a win.
QT currently .001 ahead of @Dairyworker on my friends list. I hope that's driving him crazy.
Race C is also getting like that shove, barge, pass any way you can just so long as its not clean
Agreed. It's like driving a dunp truck. It's just a shame that group 4 races have to be avoided because the FF cars are so OP.
The Toyota is actually the easiest to pass in. The R18 does have better top speed, but after the first lap, its battery drains so quickly and recharges so slowly that it has no answer for the Toyota coming out of corners. If a Toyota is right behind you coming out of the bus stop, it can pretty much clear you before you even get to La Source, and it'll have better acceleration out of La Source too, so you probably won't be able to use the R18's better top speed to catch it by the end of the Kemmel Straight if it gets by you before La Source. You could definitely keep people behind you in the corners in a Group C car, but between corners the hybrids will just dart around you before the next braking zone.
C class is about 2-4 seconds slower than the hybrids per lap. If you want to try something with higher top speed I'd say the LM-55 Mazda or the Dodge Tomahawk. If you go with the Mazda rev it hard. The Dodge, short-shift by the gear indicator.
I'll vouch for the Mazda too. And since it's full-time AWD (instead of part time like the hybrids), it's probably the most predictable Gr.1 car out there. It was my first Gr.1 car (gifted, not bought), and I used it to great effect in quite a few races (and grabbing a few wins) before finally caving and buying a TS050 during one of the FIA exhibition seasons. The AWD also means that while it's massively down on power for a few seconds due to not being a hybrid, it doesn't lose quite as much to the hybrids out of the corners as other Gr.1 cars do.
Try the RC F. Beginning of the week, I started at the back and finished 6th in an A/S room. The FFs are faster entering turns, but the RC F is fast on corner exits and the straights.
Keep in mind that light braking won't harvest anything if the battery is empty. If you drain it completely you have to do some extra braking between corners in S2, so that you recover a little and this technique can work again. Also, the exact point at which the car stops using hybrid is 250 km/h.
The audi is unbeatable in good hands, I’ve observed most of fast lads with TS050 they can only manage 2.00 consistently in a race , you can get 59s if you get every sector right , but r18 they can do 1.58s all day , doubt if someone can do that with a yota,
Bet We was fighting too hard for you to remember the audi won this onebelieve me i tried so hard in this one, they were fighting so hard and still they were doing 59s, the other race when the guy was in clean air he finished in 19.56,
Tried Race C last night. And one this afternoon. Gained DR in both. Good races but I'm nowhere near the front. Almost ran out of time in the 2nd race.
Still, can't believe I can drive these cars somewhat relaxed now. Way beyond what I thought when I started.
This livery sums up how I felt about these cars not so long ago.
