Will only be scary if someone tries to overtake or if someone thinks 3-wide is going to work xDD
 
Accurate depiction of the Focus' understeer:

It's a road car. Not a racing car so it's not going to handle perfect is it lol.
 
It's gone really bad though. Mass understeer everywhere.

And these do have less tuning.
 
Nah not really, although it was one of the fastest in the pre-season test races.
 
It seems that every car I pick get some sort of nerfing during the season. It's either I'm good at picking OP cars or I'm putting the car in places it shouldn't be
 
It will kill at Ascari, Spa and Willow. Restricter plates?

Either way, if the Pug is quick at Ascari then good. We need something to beat those damn Hondas ;)
 
Considering that the Pug needed a part that no other car had just to be competitive, I don't think it needs a nerf. Furi's just upset because he has no chance at high-speed tracks.
 
Leave the pug alone, nothings wrong with it...

Other stewards not me have suggested this i'll stress... Only thing I have considered personally is Ford LSD.
 
If the Focus is slow in a straight line, the Rangey might as well only have 3 gears because at Silverstone there was a big difference. I was alongside a Focus (probably @hsv010 ) and I was in the draft of a pug (probably @Roflwaffle ) (the Focus wasnt in the draft) and it was pulling lengths on the Rangey. So the "slow" Focus is still faster without draft than the Rangey is with draft.

^^^ Point. If I add a part to Ford, it upsets balance of others, so personally I don't want to make changes unless 100% needed. Its tricky as every car seems to have a bogey track. Ford hates Brands, Rangey loves it, Hyundai hates it more. Rangey hates Silverstone National, Ford Hyundai will love it.

Also remember the Hondas have two of the fastest guys in here and Joe won in the Ford at Silverstone last week.
 
I was helped by not being able to see Storm in that race. It would have been a 3 way battle with Yera, Storm and me. When I get some clear track and don't really have much pressure from behind, I'm able to just put down a load of qualifying laps (happens in WSC too). Since I couldn't see Storm, I was able to keep doing those laps. Snow was also able to do this at Brands.

Edit about Focus/Rangey: the Rangey has much better acceleration, while the Focus suffers from its understeer/wheelspin. The Focus actually has one of the better top speeds of the cars, hitting 142mph into Stowe. The Focus' issues are in the lower speed corners (below about 75mph or so)

RPM ringing changes again at Vulpus.

RPM bosses were less than satisfied by HSV quitting his ride at RPM without telling the team. The team have approached several drivers and are in serious negotiations with a ToCA race winner for driving the rest of the season in the car alongside DrifterJoe.
 
Also the off track thing didn't appear to affect me when I turned some laps at Brands tonight.
 
Was able to do 2:10 laps at Ascari before the update. With the additional low speed understeer I don't see that happening anymore. Will update when I've done some laps.

His highness Kaz is giving RPM a very hard time.

Ascari isn't as badly affected as I thought it would be. We'll be ok in the Focuses I think. 1 timed lap was enough to see.

Considering everybody despises of me already, I really didn't think it'd make much difference :lol:
