The LCC Rocket appreciation thread

[bodger]

Anyone else done some MR career races with this little gem of a car?

This car at the Matterhorn circuit is a real point and squirt delight...

 

[Odnomre]

I used it for all of the MR races. Even with it's low top speed it drives everything off the track easily, without the nasty oversteer of most MR cars in the game. I like it a lot. Don't think I'd have used it if I didn't get it as a prize car.

 

[LeadFootLiam]

It's a fabulous car, I am surprised no one has mentioned it until now.

It is a wizard at Willow in 8 Lap Super event.
It can win the 10 Lap race at Ascari if you can stay well clear of the brutal AI.

 

[chryzsh]

Used it in almost every race I'm able to use it. Perfect handling, fast, fun, easy and really cool!

I tested it at apricot hill, just two seconds slower than the Vision Benz.

Absolutely brilliant car to drive! It hits those apexes with ease and fly's around corners.

i knew about this car long before GT6, i feel special.

havent tried it out yet but im sure it will be just like the Suzuki GSX R4, caterham... those kind of corner rockets.

 

[nascar49]

I am going to have to give it a try

 

[Giygas]

Same here

I can honestly say that I have never had more fun in a racing game than when I race this little car around Matterhorn.

Driving that car around there is probably something I'll be nostalgic about in 10 years, it'll be one of my favorite memories of my gaming childhood.

If you haven't tried this car, you don't know what you're missing. Plus, it's one of the few cars in the game that (I at least think) has a great little hum from the tailpipes.

The LCC rocket is a godly car. It will keep me entertained for a while. Kinda sucks though that i can't add any aero parts to it.

 

[masterrawad]

Even on hard tires, the thing just absorbs the bumps like water to a sponge, and it manages sharp turns with no fuss. It's damn fast too.

I didn't win it until late this afternoon!

But peeps are already talking about making online series for it:

It's a pure joy to drive the Rocket. I haven't attempted to fully tune it, just some bits and bobs, but even stock (due to its insane weight!) it runs circles around almost anything. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will dominate most tight tracks around. I also think its a viable league car, almost like a formula rookie car.

I love driving this little thing around Bathurst more than anything else at the moment. It's a real challenge, with how bumpy the circuit is, along with the steep elevation changes but that just makes the ride even more enjoyable. Trying to keep the throttle flat into Sulman Park, then keeping the car under control through McPhillamy Park is a real delight. I highly recommend this combination, if you can deal with hitting the limiter on Moubtain Straight briefly and the whole way down Conrod Straight.

Is it better than the ktm xbox?

Is it better than the ktm xbox?

Not sure, but it's probably not quite as quick as the KTM X-BOW out of the box.

It is the fun to drive factor that is its the thing.

 

[LFBlackLabel]

This has been my favorite car so far. I'm finishing National A and I have yet to drive a car that gives me as much fun as the rocket.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Stock? I find the Rocket to be better in every way. It inspires confidence to push harder. The KTM comes across as somewhat of a pig in back-to-back sessions.

If in better you mean more fun, definitely! Faster? most likely not, but that's beside the point. You don't have to be fast to have good racing experiences.

This car is so much fun, I only used it by accident in one of the events and fell in love with it the instant I moved it on track. Thank god for that misclick or I would have missed out on one of the best cars in GT6 for quite some time!

 

[chryzsh]

Just golded the entire National A championship with this bad boy. I love it so much! Sometimes you got to tune it down to 500 pp to be able to compete and it gets overtaken on the straights, but has a serious advantage in cornering.

 

[Wools]

I had only seen this car once before and I think it was an old episode of Top Gear. Never had any affection for it and thought the Ariel Atom would be better.

Soon after winning the car in GT6 I took it for a spin around Ascari in Time Trial mode and completely fell head over heals in love with it. It has a perfect 1st Person View and is super fast with perfect handling. It just grips and grips but when it does let go, I can hold the slide in such a perfect way.

It reminds me of the Maserati 250F in Project Gotham Racing 4 whereby the car felt so perfect across the wide variety of race circuits I did not want to drive anything else. Supreme drivability.

The Rocket feels much the same and around Ascari, it's just sublime.

This car is right in my top 3 thus far, along with the FXX and SLS AMG GT3.

Off topic, but do you have a good tune for the FXX?

 

[leeson]

Yeah it's a great car. It's a blast on the Matterhorn.
I also really like the Alpine; the interior is slick. The Ghia XNR is pretty sweet to cruise around in too.

 

[Spongeinside]

I did a (in my opinion) nice photo shoot with the Rocket at the Nordschleife

 

[Anathema]

Savior of my British Lightweight series (the third race at Matterhorn.) Despite my liking of Lotuses, the Europa (what I was using) just wasn't cutting it, and since I haven't updated the game to 1.01 yet I dropped down the cash. Worth it all in just ONE race.
