I have this car but have not got round to trying it, I am however amused at how absolutely rubbish it is in certain circumstances when racing as an AI car in B-Spec Mode.
I grind B-Spec for money by sticking my Red Bull in the Dream Car Championships and leaving it to win by miles. Now three of the five races can be wet, especially the Sarthe and Nurburgring ones and there is a rubbish glitch where all the AI cars will start on Race Hard tyres even when it is pouring down, meaning they have to limp round a lap and then pit to put on the right tyres.
So you have my Red Bull miles out in front with the right tyres on, then you have a clump of 10 cars with the wrong tyres on separated by 30 or 40 seconds and then you have the Mazda RX7 LM which appears to be driven by someone's short sighted grandmother. Every single time the weather is wet it falls a huge amount of distance behind the rest of the pack who have the same set up and same tyres. He drives along at 50 or 60mph for most of Sarthe, maybe 80mph on the long straights, large chunks of the technical bits of Nurburgring at 30mph. As I type he has just completed the first lap of Sarthe in 9:08, well over a minute slower than the 11th placed car.
He does pick up speed with the right tyres on but is still the slowest of all the AI cars in wet conditions. Anyone else seen a car this bad when on wrong tyres or in wet weather in general?
